Whether or not it was a call to violence is actually irrelevant to that part of the discussion. I have no idea if it was or wasn't because I didn't witness it and now I can't.

There's video of it you could watch. The dude chanted "Death! Death! Death to the IDF!"

This isn't anti-semetic, but it could be interpreted as a call to violent action if you take "death" as literal.

    Right but my point is that doesn't matter the accusation that has been laid which is, that it's anti-semitic (whatever the hell that means in 2025) and we agree it isn't anti-semitic. It might be violent l, I don't know, apparently no one cares about that.

    Just as long as we're not insulting Jews Which is apparently a very bad thing to do for some reason.
