Anti-Israel protests disrupt Italian flights, transportation | The Jerusalem Post
Pro-Israel groups are using the Anti-Terrorism Act to harass pro-Palestinian protestors with baseless and legally frivolous claims.
Like all SLAPP-like frivolous lawsuits, the real intent is to waste the time and money of the defendants, not to get beyond the motion to dismiss phase.

The city had recently begun enforcing an existing rule requiring the publication of home addresses and phone numbers for public speakers at city council meetings. After pro-Palestinian organizers raised safety concerns, four council members pushed to keep personal information out of the public domain.
How stupid are these so-called "#proPalestinian" #protesters? Why TF are they protesting #KamalaHarris? Do they not understand what will happen in #Gaza if #Trump is elected? You're protesting the wrong person, idiots! You should be campaigning for Harris if you you actually care about the future of the #Palestinian people! You schmucks might want to reevaluate your strategy!

Demonstrators outside a San Francisco campaign fundraiser for Kamala Harris demanded an arms embargo on Israel and an immediate cease-fire.
"Protests are part of the American heritage we can be proud of, and they can force needed change..."

Clashes and arrests as #proPalestinianprotests spread across #European #campuses
Some students face criminal charges, suspensions and even expulsions for participating in pro-Palestinian protests and encampments. Their reason? A "just cause."

The demonstrations at UT-Austin have been mostly peaceful, although at times, tensions have increased and students have been arrested, including Qaddumi, who was the first person arrested nearly two weeks ago.

> „Die tegenwerping vind ik een poging mist te creëren en de aandacht af te leiden van waar het nu om moet gaan. Je kunt bij alle kritiek op Israël wel wijzen naar de Arabische wereld, maar wat heeft dat te maken met wat er nu in Gaza gebeurt? Trouwens, er zijn ook relevante verschillen. Arabische universiteiten hebben niet de institutionele banden en contacten met westerse instellingen die de Israëlische onderhouden. Geen Horizon 2020-projecten van de EU, geen grote programma’s voor samenwerking en uitwisseling. Israëlische universiteiten gaan daar ook prat op. Ze claimen dat ze uitzonderlijk internationaal, progressief en democratisch zijn, maar tegelijk willen ze niet ter verantwoording worden geroepen.”
Dat laatste is misschien wel de crux: de hele tijd vervelend vinden dat er zoveel aandacht is voor Israël, en die overdreven aandacht al snel antisemitisch vinden, maar ondertussen wel presenteren als een moderne staat.
