Even for Cenk, this is a bit insane.
Somehow the left has looked at dozens of anti-Israel 'protests,' witnessed some of the most obscene and direct antisemitism in recent memory, watched Jewish students assaulted, bullied and blocked from entering campus buildings and come away with the idea pro-Palestinian protesters are the real victims here.
Of course, never to be outdone, Cenk Uygur can only fail upwards and managed to take it to an even more ridiculous extreme.
I was accosted in public two days ago (just hate speech), now the peace protestors at UCLA have been violentyly attacked. Is this country going to protect Muslim-Americans and people who support them? Or is it open season on us because racism against Muslims is no big deal?

Um, what now?
Yesterday, a young guy asked me if I was "pro-Palestine." I said yes. He then went on a racist rant about how Muslims deserve to be killed for what they did to Israel. That's harrassment and a call for violence. Do I get to shut down every pro-Israel gathering in America now?

I don't know if this actually happened or if he just imagined it or is lying for attention, but what?
I heard on every cable news show that this is the new standard now. Or does it only go one way? Speaking of which, isn't it interesting that no one in mainstream media is concerned with the pro-war, pro-violence protesters who say that Israel hasn't done enough to Gaza yet?

How is it possible to be this delusional?
Almost everyone in American politics and media hates Muslims, and anyone who dares to support them. You’ll see it with your own eyes as everyone will make excuses for this vigilante violence. As long as they’re attacking people who support Muslims, they’ll be protected by media. https://t.co/2o16BjSc4i

If there is one thing the media hates, it's Muslims! What possible universe did this guy fall out of?
Imagine if pro-Palestine protestors physically assaulted Jewish students in the same exact way that pro-Israel protestors attacked the students at UCLA last night? The national guard and every cop in California would come down on them. They'd be called terrorists by everyone in…

Imagine if pro-Palestine protestors physically assaulted Jewish students in the same exact way that pro-Israel protestors attacked the students at UCLA last night? The national guard and every cop in California would come down on them. They'd be called terrorists by everyone in media and peace protests all across the country would be shut down. And every objective person knows this is true.
So, will LA do anything about the violent thugs who attacked those students last night or is their lawlessness in America now, where if you are on Israel's side, you can just commit violence on anyone you like?
Jewish students have been physically assaulted by pro-Palestinian activists, on camera, multiple times.
So, we have become Israel. Where the pro-Israel side doesn’t have to follow the law, they can just commit violence against us, grab whatever land they think is theirs (it’s actually UCLA’s) and then you justify the violence. When did UCLA become Israel’s land? Ridiculous! https://t.co/LJjHrhPbKq

I can't even begin to address this nonsense.
Have any of the "pro-Israel" vigilante thugs who attacked UCLA students last night been arrested? Or is it open season on Muslims and anyone who supports Muslims in LA? Is @KarenBassLA going to protect us or are the cops going to protect only the Israeli side, right or wrong?

The police have allowed pro-Palestinian activists to intimidate, harass and physically assault Jewish students for weeks.
Cable news is a joke. They bring on Republican and Democratic consultants to bash student protesters. All four stooges on the panel say how awful the students are without ever explaining why the students are protesting Israel. The war crimes and atrocities are never mentioned.
— Cenk Uygur (@cenkuygur) April 30, 2024
They make it seem like all the students in America woke up one morning and decided to hate Jewish people. They make it seem like the peace protesters are purely violent and hateful, but never talk about the violence of 34,000 dead that they are protesting. Peak propaganda.

Also, interesting how everyone on television all of a sudden agrees. When they're trying to divide us on culture war issues, they seem to disagree so much. But when powerful forces, like lobbyists and advertisers, demand something, all of a sudden everyone on cable agrees.

I see, the news doesn't directly reflect his preferred narrative so obviously it's a massive conspiracy!
Cenk is truly the most ridiculous person in leftwing politics. I mean where would you even start?
To recap, Jews control the media and both Democrats and Republicans, everyone hates Muslims and all of a sudden, it's 'open season,' on Muslims, who are being hunted down by Jews in the streets! How is this real life?
