Yes, jews will be "othered" in the midst of a pro-palestine rally. That will always be the case. On the flipside, a Palestinian will feel "othered" if they are in the midst of a pro-israel rally...or anywhere in this country that voted red. We americans are a loud, intolerant, angry bunch. Hopefully your daughter can take it as a lesson to refrain from hateful judgement and making others feel unsafe as she moves forward in life (not that she neccessarily needed that lesson).
Currently, the hip thing for young, college folks to support is the Palestinian cause. Give it a few more months, a cessation of airstrikes in gaza, and this cause celeb will blow over. Meanwhile, arabs havent been able to catch a break here in america for decades with 3 more young arabs getting shot for looking arab in Burlington, VT over the weekend.
Separate topic- what crimes had the palestinian folks involved in the hostage/prisoner swap been charged and convicted of?
