This is the new tactic for the dictators, just call <insert literally anything> a nazi. The Ukrainians, the protestors, my dog, all nazi’s. Projection at its greatest.
now I am wondering what that dog did!
Shaking paws or seig heiling? Nobody can say for sure.
Without delving into this event I’m going to take a wild guess and say that this is the common trope of framing something that is Anti-Netanyahu or Anti-Israeli or Anti-Zionism (Read: Far-Right Nationalism) or Pro-Civilian — and associate it with antisemitism. Let me edit upon review to see if I can confirm this hypothesis.
Edit: I’d say I’m pretty much right.

Times of Israel of course has a convenient anonymous student referring to chants that are curiously not captured on video/audio. If someone has something, then do let me know. I suspect like most things this is a matter of colorizing the protest by the few bad apples who, according to an AP article, were not even students. So you may have actual antisemites trying to hijack the movement; or you might have pro-Israelis trying to tarnish the protest by painting it in a bad light.
Either way, the protests should be judged by the overwhelming narrative projected by the mass at large.
