It's worth noting that these students are being arrested because an extremist Zionist group called Betar is feeding names to the Federal Government.

There is zero evidence for any crimes having been perpetrated by these students.

Betar are extremely secretive about who they are funded by, with some speculating that this is an Israeli front.

The US government is acting as a goon squad for Zionist provocateurs.

The mentioning of Zionists as the responsible still appears to be a massive taboo.

It was so easy to name Russia as perpetrator for any alleged thing. But calling out Zionists still gets people labeled as an antisemite.
