This is not happening on any sort of level where you can say "many participants" and the organizers of these events immediately condemn anyone that is attempting to hijack these protests to be antisemitic.

You think it's "many supporters" because bad faith actors (or the media) will take one horrible sign or video of an individual or small group saying horrible things, and extrapolate that that's what the whole protest is about. Which it's not. You're falling for propaganda to try to lump all of these protesters in with a group of shitty people.

It's true that it's important to not let what the minority is doing influence us on the overall point of the protest. That's something we know and should always internalize.
It doesn't negate the fact that most normies don't have this type of context though, and it's just a risk of having any large protest. Social media is cancerous for movements that don't have good messaging principal from established leaders.
