@caseynewton @zoeschiffer Yes because BLM was about confronting our inner racism, and the Gaza protests are not innocent fights against racism, they are themselves racist agitations that call for systemic violence against millions of Israelis and have few qualms about Jew hatred.

You are platforming hatred by drawing a false equivalence.
