I find it somewhat concerning the way 'anti-Semitic' is getting thrown around recently. The definition is
Does that really apply to what is being protested today? Most of the talk seems to be about Kalen Ockerman's Freedom for Humanity mural.

Is such an artwork, removed 6 years ago really worthy of this uproar? Or is it Corbyns facebook post that is the source of the outrage? Well lets look at that.

I would assume referring to the Diego Rivera mural Man at the Crossroads.
Not seeing much anti-semitism in Corbyns comment. Seems more to be asking why it is being destroyed and comparing it to the destruction of another famous mural.

People have being trying to label Corbyn as anti Semitic for a while now. A lot comments that get singled out are anti Zionist not anti Semitic. For comparison ultra Orthodox Jews are anti zionists, majority of Orthodox Jews are anti Zionist to. Not sure either of those parties could be described as anti Semitic by any stretch of the imagination.
