Criticism is not the same thing as hatred. Hatred is unhealthy; criticism and disagreement are healthy; that should not have to be said here.

Yes, this is America (of course) -- and no, this egotistical, intolerant, tainted-with-antisemitism performance is not what I do or should want from young people, or old people, or middle-aged people, who have legitimate political and moral concerns. (Whether they're "fed up" or not, I could give a rip; I've been fed up for 50 years and I'm still capable of taking care of myself without trampling on others' rights; so are most people who walk this planet.)

To simply accept this because people are young and "fed up" would be to lump every possible kind of protest carelessly together and assume that just because it's protest, it's OK. Precisely *because* this is America and I want it to stay America, I will not do that.
