Sure there are anti-Semites on the right, but there have also been a lot of anti-Semitic acts of aggression against Jewish students that have zero to do with Israel, but everything to do with these kids being Jewish.

It’s fine to protest the Israeli government’s actions. It is fine to support Palestinians. It is not fine to support Hamas or Intifada.

The bottom line is you don’t have a clue behind the motivations of the arsonist. You may be correct in assuming it’s a right winger, but you may just as well be wrong.

There are more than a few lefty protestors spewing hate and threats and there’s nothing legitimate about that.

Back to the Masters, but it’s irresponsible to assume anything at this point regarding the individual(s) behind this crime.

I am interested if you have any facts to share tomorrow.

"Maybe it's just some random anti-Semite, but really smells like a Trump cultist." That's what I originally said. My opinion is that it's either a Trumper of some flavor, a random anti-Semite, or some a drunken combination of the two. It did happen after last call.

As for the Intifada, you may not realize what it means. It means an uprising, not necessarily a violent one. Each intifada has been a result of Israeli human rights abuses, particularly when Likud (the original terrorists in the Middle East as the Irgun) is in power. They don't just happen without cause. The intifadas have primarily been work strikes, riots, and protests from the populace with some violence and murder by the IDF on protestors and some attacks, bombings, and murder on the IDF and Israeli civilians by terrorists. A lot of people throwing rocks were shot dead. Now to be fair, a good friend who fought in the 72 war and served during the first intifada once told me how big the rocks are.

As official US policy, we support the rights of oppressed and occupied persons to resist their occupation. We signed and ratified a UN resolution to that point. We just don't follow it with respect to Israel. It probably goes right past you and a lot of your fellow travelers, but there were a lot of American Jewish people who participated in the pro-Palestine/anti-war protests. There's a real schism on the horizon for the US Jewish population between the traditional proponents of human rights who support of a two-state solution, represented by the 80% of Jews who vote for Democrats, and the hard-line, no-matter-what Israel supporters, represented by emigres from Russia and Eastern Europe and their children. It's happened in Israel, where the population swelled with people from the eastern bloc after the wall fell. They are usually the most militant of the settlers. There was a chance for a free Palestine before the population changed so much, but there's really not much of a chance now.
