You want to be in support of the civilians getting mistreated in Gaza, in a peaceful protest denouncing the actions of the Israeli government, that's fine. It's a legitimate concern and reason to protest.

You want to join up with the "kill all the Jews" types, or the ones celebrating the butchery, rape, and hostage-taking... yeah fuck right off with that shit you terrorist-loving shitbags.

You can be in support of the Palestinian people and still condemn the actions of Hamas.

You can also condemn Hamas and also be against the policies enacted by the gov't of Israel.

Nobody should be cheering for the deaths of civilians in either side.

I haven't heard any antisemitic rhetoric.

There's a ton of nuance on this issue, and I support people as long as they don't do the things you said.

It was the same thing with the freedom convoys, if they had ejected radicals and Nazis, I would have been inclined to listen. If these protests start supporting Hamas, or not ejected people who do then they would lose my support.

I have not seen any antisemitism, or support of Hamas in any of these protests, so far just a lot of concern for people who are being oppressed by a significantly more powerful body politic.

Israel’s massive assault on civilians in Gaza came in response to a surprise attack launched by Hamas and other factions against Israel on Saturday. In their attack, the Palestinian factions took at least 150 Israelis hostage, including some peace activists who oppose Israel’s occupation. At least 1,200 have been killed in Israel so far, according to news reports.

Probably worth mentioning that many of the Israeli hostages were killed by Israeli air strikes.

But that's the point, the Israeli military doesn't mind killing civilians.
