This is nothing but betrayal of the victims of Zionist massacre. Furedi pretends not to know that the Zionists and their police allies will do anything to smear anyone who dissents from Zionist slaughter as an antisemite, Jewish or not. He pretends not to know the word provocateur. He pretends not to know that for speakers or the crowd not to ignore them but to respond as asked to the provocation would allow the provocateurs and their stupid dupes to start fighting, call in the cops to break heads and break up the rally, and give the pro- Zionist media what it needs to portray anyone expressing solidarity with the martyred children of Gaza as a Hitlerite.
