This is from the RWEC commenting on that video:
Did you know that many jurisdictions have laws against wearing masks that disguise a person's identity, especially in circumstances where a person could legitimately feel intimidated?
You know, like at protests where people are shouting aggressively, committing illegal acts like vandalism, pushing people around, shouting violent slogans, and suchlike.
The laws vary by jurisdiction, and some have been validated by the courts and others have been struck, but they are common enough. New York, for instance, had an anti-mask law that was repealed during the pandemic, but a State Assemblyman has proposed reinstating it.
I, for one, think it is an excellent idea.
Most mask laws were passed to deal with precisely the problem we are faced with today: people who, under the guise of political protest, break laws and use their anonymity to commit acts of violence and intimidation against some disfavored individuals and groups.
The Klan was the target of many of these laws. Klansmen didn't wear those masks because they liked to look like children pretending to be ghosts. They did so because the anonymity the masks provided them gave them license to do things that would get them in deep trouble if their faces were exposed.
The same holds true today, and everybody knows it. It is shocking to me that so many otherwise "empathetic" people can tolerate or even support the protesters at all, given not just their behavior but the extraordinary lengths to which they go to remain anonymous as they commit crimes and shout epithets at innocent people just because they are Jewish.
Antiwar protesters have not, as a rule, been so ashamed of their opinions or behavior that they hide behind Keffiyahs and other masks. They have political opinions, make them clear, and stand behind their opinions. It is a much more effective measure of persuasion, for one thing.
But persuasion is not the point; intimidation is, at least for the most part. The persuasion part of the propaganda equation takes place before our eyes as mainstream media mouthpieces repeat Hamas propaganda endlessly; the intimidation phase takes place on the street as masked thugs imitating brownshirts destroy things and intimidate Jews and anybody who supports them.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Bill Maher asked, "Why is the Left OK with anti-Semitism?"
Not sure the large fat black woman is left or an antisemite. I think she’s in it for the social media clicks and likes… I’ve seen her on other videos.

It's inspiring that these young protestors manage to look like they're just having fun, while they risk their very lives engaging in courageous anti-zionist protest. Israel is a machine of genocide, and they must know that they are next, after the Palestinians are all murdered.
I have similar respect for anybody who criticizes Donald Trump. They don't seem terrified, due to their courage, but I am terrified for them, and their certain futures in concentration camps, if Trump wins.
I have hope for the human race, knowing I am surrounded by strength, courage, and virtue.

Please. They plainly said that he is a Zionist. And if it’s on the internet, it’s clearly true…
