They are the ones who are loudly slandering those who disagree with them while giving aid and comfort to HAMAS terrorists, intentionally or not.
Seizure of property and verbal intimidation is violent. Many of them have proven themselves antisemitic by their own words.
The White House statement on Sunday came after videos posted online appeared to show some protesters expressing support for the 7 October attacks.

"While every American has the right to peaceful protest, calls for violence and physical intimidation targeting Jewish students and the Jewish community are blatantly antisemitic, unconscionable, and dangerous," the statement read.

"And echoing the rhetoric of terrorist organisations, especially in the wake of the worst massacre committed against the Jewish people since the Holocaust, is despicable."
