It's anti Semitic. Well, it depends on the case by case basis. I hate to paint with a broad brush anybody exercising their rights and it is a tough call. Obviously, Hamas, which is a proxy for Iran, attacked innocent Israelis on October 7th and took a lot of innocent lives. I've traveled there in January myself and saw some of that and talked to some of the families whose children were still and family members still being held hostage. (02:00–02:08)

CLAIM

Asserts that Hamas, acting as an Iranian proxy, attacked Israelis on October 7th, causing many deaths.
