The arrest followed a CNN investigation that documented the hourslong attack and identified key perpetrators from the pro-Israel mob.

    I’d argue it’s the opposite. To most of the people who attacked the encampment, Palestinians are just some faceless brown Arab people half a world away, whereas the protesters are the SJW/Marxist/Anti-Americans who are ruining America.

    The former, they are more or less indifferent to; the latter, they really hate.

      This makes sense. It’s also a lot easier to drop a bomb on the faceless brown people half a world away. It takes real hate to beat up an unarmed person by yourself.
