I bland annat TV-Nytt har de så kallade pro-palestinska demonstrationerna vid universiteten i USA tagits upp två kvällar i rad. Demonstranterna beskrivs nästan som offer och inte ett ord sades om deras stöd för terroristorganisationen Hamas och för utplånandet av staten Israel. Inte heller nämndes hoten och trakasserierna som riktats mot judar på universiteten.

Biden slams anti-Israel campus protests, says Mideast policies unchanged
Trots att TV-Nytt rapporterade om Bidens tal nämndes som sagt inte ett ord om antisemitismen bland demonstranterna.
President Biden:
“Threatening people, intimidating people, instilling fear in people is not peaceful protest — it’s against the law,” Biden added.
“There should be no place on any campus — no place in America — for antisemitism or threats of violence against Jewish students,” he said, referring to widespread documentation of antisemitic and pro-terror expressions during the protests, before subsequently condemning all forms of discrimination.
Campus protests: Back to the '60s, but with a nasty twist
…shout slogans calling for Israel’s destruction – “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”; for the killing of Israelis – “Intifada, intifada”; and for the erasure of Jews from public spaces – “We want to say it clear, we don’t want no Zionists here.”
...Among some of the elites today, or at least those on elite campuses, the fashionable cause now – believe it or not – is Hamas. While, at first blush, this may seem unfathomable – how could idealistic youth find their heroes in murderers and rapists supported by Iran? – this should not surprise anyone. Just think of the lionization of Che Guevara and Fidel Castro by the radical chic set in the past.
Social media are currently inundated with clips from protests at universities, where demonstrators, attending institutions costing upwards of $75,000 a year, seem to have little understanding of why they are demonstrating, what they are protesting, or who is who in the Middle East.
Those starring in these videos seem to be rebels without a cause, rebels looking for a cause, and rebels grasping onto this one because it is there and it is hip.
‘As they chant for intifada, we will work together’: Herzog pans anti-Israel protests
President Isaac Herzog broadcast a message of solidarity to Jewish communities around the world on Thursday, amid a wave of anti-Israel protests that has sent shockwaves through college campuses in the United States and elsewhere and often included displays of antisemitism and support for terror.
“The people of Israel are with you. We hear you,” he said in a video message in English.
“We see the shameless hostility and threats. We feel the insult, the breach of faith and the breach of friendship. We share with you the apprehension and concern,” he added.
Anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian protests at US universities have sent many Jewish students fleeing campuses, fearing for their safety amid increasing antisemitic rhetoric, threats and a growing lack of faith in the educational institutions’ ability to protect them.
“We see prominent academic institutions, halls of history, culture and education contaminated by hatred and antisemitism, fueled by arrogance and ignorance and driven by moral failings and disinformation. We watch in horror as the October 7 atrocities against Israel are celebrated and justified,” the president said.

Asked to comment on the encampments, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office pointed to a statement he made on Tuesday, saying: “Universities are places of learning, they’re places for freedom of expression … but that only works if people feel safe on campus. Right now … Jewish students do not feel safe. That’s not right.”
