He said “of course they are not driven by the horror and slaughter in Gaza”

Here it is with captions

Also, when he was asked about the accusations of him saying that the students are driven by anti-semitism, he responded “Yes” on the video.

Crap you're absolutely right. I listened held up to my ear (on Mobile) and he Said "of course they're not". Very different.

And the "yes" part conflicting with "of course they are" led me to believe there was a bigger statement we'd need to hear to understand. But "not" changes everything. I still want to hear that panel. I don't understand how anyone can think it's antisemitism
