Thank you, Steve Brodner, for what you wrote at the start of this post and what you created. Peaceful protests decrying starvation and destruction of people and their homes, hospitals and schools, farms and businesses are in order. To equate the protests with antisemitism fails to address the issues that must be addressed. How I wonder can people not speak out against retaliation that goes far beyond? The hostages must be released. The starvation and destruction of others must stop.
Biden better start making note of theses protests and put the pressure on for a ceasefire, otherwise he's going to find himself as despised as LBJ was in 1968.
