Why do we need to control who enters our country?

Crazy isn’t it. It used to be the only organized groups of anti-Semites were on the right, and not just the far right, but this war is stirring anti-Semitism from the strangest individuals.

Yes, that shit is crazy

[Acer]

OP assumption that immigrants are the driving antisemite force here is the crazy @#$%& in this conversation.

Used to be far right wing extremists lived in the shadows, bayous. Now far left wing extremists are filling college campuses and major cities

There are a lot of people from all backgrounds sympathizing with Palestinians in this fight. Sympathizing with the Palestinians does not by default make one an antisemite (though, obviously it gives antisemites cover to make trouble.) It's not all driven by established categories of Us and Other.

Some folks' memory fails them if events are older than say a decade. What's the phrase "Born yesterday"?

I suspect that the people that MrSickFor45 believes are "left wing extremists" have been there for well over half a century.

Free Speech Movement 1964-65

1968 Columbia University protests

Third World Liberation Front strikes of 1968

Student strikes of 1970

"Nearly 900 campuses nationwide participated."
"...more than 450 university, college and high school campuses across the country were shut down by student strikes..."
"...protests that involved more than 4 million students."

Sympathizing for the Palestinians does not necessarily equate to supporting Hamas. Not all support the extremists, but they get lumped in with those who do simply because of who they are.

Ripping down posters supporting the kidnapped children equates antisemitism. Protesting while yelling "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" Is antisemitic
