    Zionists that confront pro-Palestinian protesters are often trying to draw reactions to disrupt or invalidate the protest:

    • They try to draw in police by lying about their own safety. For example, walking into the middle of a crowd and then yelling about how they now feel unsafe because of some pro-Palestine chants.

    • They try to get a semi-violent reaction for the same reason. A Zionist getting upset and grabbing at someone else’s phone will not elicit a police or fash intervention but a response that pushes the Zionisy away or tries the same on them will more often get that police or fash intervention.

    • They bring their friends and take videos of the reactions they’re trying to elicit in order to try and delegitimize the pro-Palestinian protesters. If they can’t get anything they’ll do things like ham it up with a monolog everyone’s ignoring or try to tell a story for the camera. Selective editing is their favorite tool.

    She is probably a combination of frothing Zionist fash and trying to get a reaction. The two are compatible and the former is who does the latter most often in my experience.

      Why else intentionally cart one’s toddler human shield into the middle of a protest and cry crocodile tears.
