    Instead, the Los Angeles district attorney’s office announced that after reviewing the evidence against 18-year-old Edan On, the case was referred to the city attorney’s office for a possible misdemeanor filing.

    On was identified as a counterprotester at an April 30 pro-Palestinian demonstration at the UCLA campus. In widely shared videos, a masked man in a white hoodie can be seen repeatedly striking protesters with a pole. Law enforcement sources identified the man as On and video of his actions were first aired by CNN.

      To determine the true rulers of any society, all you must do is ask yourself this question: Who is it that I am not permitted to criticize?

      Kevin Strom, 1993

      It’s best not to (mis)quote Neo Nazis in general, especially so when you’re discussing Jews.

      It’s not helpful discourse, provides cover for and platforms conspiracies, and gives the Zionists free ammo to point at any criticism as ‘antisemitism’ when these phrases are parroted. “Jews rule the world” is about as tired as it comes, and doesn’t do anything to help Palestinians

          If I wound up quoting hate speech from a convicted white supremacist, I’d backpedal SO HARD immediately. I’ve dropped multiple symbols and sayings that got co-opted by bigots, I’d advise you to not echo a super harmful anti-Semitic trope, regardless if it’s attributed or not.

          Right now is a perfect time to delete that comment.
