I did not know about it until it was reported on Buffalo NPR.

So far, Jewish Americans are not counter protesting AFAIK, probably to avoid being made targets of violence.

But, if I had been in Buffalo, I would have held a sign that said, TERRORISTS ARE NOT FREEDOM FIGHTERS. (I am not Jewish.)

I believe that Netanyahu is a RW extremist. I believe that Israel should not have settlers in the West Bank. But I also believe that Israel's self defense against terrorism means destroying Hamas and recovering the hostages.

Not supporting HAMAS in any way, though I’m sure some “news” will paint it as such, being Portland.
