Sounds liked that guy is a member of Jewish Voice for Peace. They are aligned with the BDS movement, which includes a coalition of Palestinians, Jews, and liberal Christian churches. Anyone can criticize Isrsel without being anti-Semitic. I do it myself.
However, his message conflicts with videos of anti-Semitic harassment of Jewish students. Here is a Jewish student who did wear his yarmulke on campus and is not part of the BDS movement. BTW, the Palestinian student in this video speaks about peace and violence against innocent people in Gaza, but never says anything about the Hamas attack being violence against civilians and an obstacle to peace.

(4,455 posts)"remember, a protest movement should be entirely defined by its most extreme fringe" and "then every protester everywhere is discredited and should be ignored."
I see a fair amount of that here. Select outrageous comments made by a few protesters and then use that to attack all the protesters.
