Whether intentional or not. It is now- attacking American Jews even kids. It is a bad scene and helps no one.

How about those shouting/posting signs and banners "Intifada". Are they wrong?

She didn't deny anyone a seat...I suggest you check google. She merely refused to give up her seat.

You really want to die on this hill? It is OK to call little kids baby killers at an American school. That is OK?

Yeah, she denied a seat to all those white guys, and threatened and assaulted them when they tried

No, the protests are based on the university's refusals to divest from Israel financially.

So, anyone who is invested in an Israeli company is actively engaged in denying civil rights?
