Please share amy evidence you have of actual anti-Semitism. But it has LONG been a play of the Israeli government to claim that anti criticism of Israel is anti-Semitism, which is absolutely ridiculous.
Near Columbia University, antisemitic slogans including “go back to Poland” were heard among the protesters’ chants. In one video, a demonstrator can be seen holding a sign near Jewish students that reads: “Al-Qassam’s next targets.”
Inevitably, some people in any cause, no matter how just, will be swept up in extremism. The important thing is to isolate these elements without slowing or impugning the greater cause.
The important thing is to know and be committed to your own values clearly, so that when someone comes along trying to get to involved in things you don’t support, you can recognize that just because they’re acting friendly or want to be your ally, that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea.
The end result of everyone doing that is the kind of isolation you’re referring to. Doesn’t need to be centrally coordinated; the group just isn’t fertile ground for the extremism any more, because the members of the group know what they’re about.
I am not going to search the articles in American news for you - if you somehow missed it, you can Google yourself. I do not know what Israeli government says, and do not see even see importance of what it say with respect to what is going on on American campuses.
So there isn’t any anti-Semitism going on at the protests. You’re just trying to gaslight everyone into believing whatever Israel says in order to carry on slaughtering innocent people.
First of all I was not talking only about protest, but what is going on on American campuses. But second, are you saying that these protests do not sometimes chant “from the river to the sea” and pro-hamas chants?
And if any of us is gaslighting it is you, how did not even bother to google, and state that there is not any anti-Semitism.
Should I continue? There are pages and pages of these. Stope taking social sites as the news sources, read the real news. Get out from your echo chamber.
From the river to the sea, includes parts that are not Palestine. You know that, right, yet pretend to think as if it does not mean destruction of Israel, the way Hamas demonstrated now. That’s what “from the river to the sea” slogan means - it is a call for genocide and if you support that, then yes, you are an antisemite, and simply moral monster.
So, imagine that it is indeed a call for the destruction of Israel.
That would be at most anti-Israel, unless you’re a Racist who thinks “all Jews are the same”, since the only way to believe the nation of Israel is the same as the Jewish Religion, which in turn is the only way to justify claims that anti-Israel slogans are always antisemite, is to think that all Jews support and identify themselves and their religion with Israel, i.e. that they’re all the same and hence all think the same - a belief which is the purest of racist prejudice.
What’s even more racist about claiming that anti-Israel is the same as antisemitic is that many Jews openly oppose Israel, including participating in these very same demonstrations, so by conflating anti-Israel with antisemitism you’re straightforward implying that you yourself can define Jewishness better than actual Jews and by applying it to these demonstratiins which were also attended by people who are Jews, you’re accusing said Jews of being antisemite, i.e. “Bad Jews”.
It takes quite a lot of racism to go around implying that some Jews are anti-Jew because they disagree with the actions of a state that self-proclaims to represent them. In fact that kind of thing is typical of Fascism and Fascist nations.

From the river to the sea is not anti-semitism
Israelis are invaders in Palestine, and Palestinians have the right to resist occupation.
From the river to the sea, includes parts that are not Palestine. You know that, right, yet pretend to think as if it does not mean destruction of Israel, the way Hamas demonstrated now. That’s what “from the river to the sea” slogan means - it is a call for genocide and if you support that, then yes, you are an antisemite, and simply moral monster.

You don’t have to google search the articles. Just find the ones you read, that convinced you, in your browser history.
Or google it and click the purple links.
Unless of course you formed this opinion without any sources being involved?
I suggested the person who is asking to google it - I do not need to google. But I did anyway and answered here: https://kbin.social/m/politicalmemes@lemmy.world/t/985285/-/comment/6369815
As for history, my main source of news is on Apple News, where I have subscription. I do not think it has history of what I have read.
