summary
See podcast, start at 33:23.
Among several claimed incidents of antisemitism on US campuses, Sahar Tartak claimed to have been stabbed in the eye with a flagpole bearing the Palestinian flag. Glenn Greenwald explains why the claim isn't true. The video of the 20-4-24 protest shows someone brushed against the complainant, and she didn't get hit in the eye by anything.
He also remarks on how conservatives poured scorn on demands for special rights for minorities based on fake hate incidents; now they're doing it.
