    Bullshit they weren't just chanting "ducking Palestine" they were gleefully gloating about the murder of children and they deserved worse than just getting thrown in a river. They also weren't "Jews" they were members of the IDF the army committing genocide and were attacking people and homes for being pro Palestine.
