While allowing the ultimate nazi racism of some far right Israeli supporters in universities who mock Palestinian baby deaths and scream 'Death to all Palestine' as if all Palestinians support hamas, arresting that protester&others who was provoked by those 'MONSTROSITIES' above IS UNJUST&RACIST!!

It was a sit-in! "Storming" is inflammatory language. Also identify the protestors. Headline should be "Jewish Voices For Peace stage a Trump Tower sit-in to protest the political arrest of Green Card holding activist Mahmoud Khalil"

How can there be only dozens of protestors and over a hundred arrests (as reported elsewhere?) Do not downplay this massive act of non-violent civil disobedience. Be accurate.

It's clear that tensions surrounding this issue are rising. It's not just about Khalil but the broader implications for activists and their right to protest. How do we balance national laws with the freedoms of expression and assembly?

Clearly trump needs to make peace with the people who flooded trump tower, let them keep the floors they occupied, apologize to them and thank the police profusely over and over again for all of their assistance. Oh and he should make certain he’s wearing a suit when he does it.

This is in the best tradition of Jewish people standing up for justice. Yes, there are antisemitic people who infiltrate Palestinian rights protests to promote their hatred. Yes, there are right wingers who use "antisemitism" to stifle free speech. These folks are only for justice.
