It is always funny how some people with all the power , want to control HOW people protest, and no matter how they protest they still have an issue with it.

And do you think this was an ok thing for him to say?

Any criticism of the mass killing of Palestinians is argued to make Jews feel unsafe. It's a disgusting and antisemitic form of argumentation.

This is....very backwards. It's antisemitic to argue that people should not chant things that are associated with a terrorist group that wants to genocide all of the Jews in the world?

As said above, you could make the very same argument when Israel says it, that chanting it would be invoking palestinian genocide, and would be very gross and making muslim people feel unsafe.

But if it is chanted against Israel, it is ok? It just doesn't make sense.

Chant "Free Palestine" that is not antisemitic. Chanting "From the river to the sea" changes the whole vibe of your protest... It starts to sound anti-semitic which I doubt anybody wants right now, especially when it is such a touchy subject.

I do think it goes both ways. Being vocally pro-Israel in wake of the things that are happening can also be gross.

Muslims and Jews are both minorities (at least in america) and both vulnerable groups. If you want people to agree with you and if you want to help Palestine, you should not chant things that will make Jewish people feel unsafe and that are associated with Hamas.

I think we can ALL agree, no matter how you feel about the conflict, that Hamas is somebody we can all despise.
