Calling these protesters antisemitic is putting them in danger.

So, let’s review: Pro-Israel extremists violently attack UCLA students. None of them are arrested. But all of the students who were the victims of that violence are arrested the next day. Cops say they arrested the victims to prevent further violence. 🤔
