That goes way beyond antisemitism though. Congratulating them for choosing schools and clubs as targets....

I've never liked these types of videos.
The first is that they obviously are choosing the people that end up best supporting the thesis, and ignore the people that don't.
It also tends to ignore that many people will be agreeable, even in the face of dumb stuff. Magicians even have a term called "instant stooging" where they can bring someone up on stage and they will immediately help them perform the trick.
All in all, I tend to look at these videos regardless of what they are peddling with an eye of skepticism.

This would've been a bit more convincing if it was simply a "Hamas" table where the students took the initiative to talk as opposed to dealing with someone approaching him.
These types of videos are honestly very weak. Regardless of which side is producing them.
