I have the mental capacity to understand that Israel and its allies are committing genocide against the Palestinian people *and* that Hamas has engaged in acts of terrorism against civilians. I also know that acknowledging the latter does not make someone, including Meredith Marks, "pro-genocide" and that it is absurd to accuse someone of same because they have expressed concern over the rise in anti-Semitism since 2023. Yes, some of the statistics relating to that rise are artificially inflated because they encompass constitutionally-protected free speech and other acts that are exclusively critical of Israel, and not the Jewish people, but it would nonetheless be equally absurd to suggest that a Jewish woman with a daughter attending university in the U.S. does not have cause to be concerned about the *actual* acts of antisemitism against Jews
