Neo-Nazis are showing up at protests in an attempt to push anti-Jewish conspiracy theories and tropes into the mainstream.

I think it would be a good look to balance pro-Palestine demonstrations with anti-Nazi symbolism.

Would be funny to watch 'journalists' report on the Nazis in a protest when there are more people with anti-Nazi gear.

Couldn't they just report that Nazis and anti-Nazis are pro-Palestine?

Couldn’t they just report that Nazis and anti-Nazis are pro-Palestine?

Didn't you read this part?

“Nine out of ten of them would probably happily commit a hate crime against anyone [at the pro-Palestine protest].”

I'm not sure what that changes

That'd be a pretty weird report, but sure.

They can report anything.

I'm not sure what would be weird about it if it was what literally happening. How would you report it?

All they need is one guy with a nazi flag and they can say everyone there is complicit. And they can bring their own nazi to model for them.

I mean, they don't even need that.

They can say whatever they want, lol.
