Florida student openly admits to being 'anti-Jewish' at panel event [View all]

An exclusive video from a student senate meeting calling at Florida State University, in which a student speaker admits to being “anti-Jewish,” was published by Israel War Room this week. The video clip, which was taken in February but only just released, shows a panel of six students debating whether a ceasefire motion should be passed.

The short clip shows the student saying, "And every single protest that we have, our actions have had counter-protesters, and there is never any backlash and never police protecting us. In fact, our police are directly protecting counter-protesters even at our events.”

“So I want to ask you all, is Palestinian life not worth mourning? And we, as Arab, Palestinian, Muslim, and anti-Jewish students, are we not worth protecting?”

Oops, a slip of the plausible deniability tongue. She was supposed to say "Zionist".
