The lies and misinformation from large parts of the press, from the US Republicans, the Biden loyalist Democrats, and that exemplar of truth and integrity (not), Netanyahu, are stinking out the story.

The protests are spreading - now over 40 campuses.

Good.

The woman who organised the pro Palestinian sit in at Columbia University said Zionists don't deserve to live and we should "Be grateful that I’m not just going out and murdering Zionists.”

Honestly, it's not hard to see why the Police have moved in on these extremists or why many don't feel safe is it?
