Um...yes, a minority of Pro Palestinians using genocidal rhetoric can be compared to a minority of pro Israel people getting violent about genocide IMO. Calling for Jewish deaths (literally praising Hamas and saying that 10/7 is going to happen 1000 times) and harassing Jewish students to the point that a rabbi was advising them to go home because they were not safe, is comparable to the vile actions by the Israel protesters. 1/6 Insurrectionists were not responding to something like 10/7 so it's a pretty different situation. BLM protesters were not throwing threats at a vulnerable minority population.

Your claim is a false equivalence by the sheer fact that there are anti-Zionist Jews present in the protest camps. Furthermore, the vast majority of protesters are calling for the war to end, not to for Israel to be destroyed. Those calling for Israel to be "decolonized" want to abolish the current system that favors Israelis over Palestinians, especially when it comes to the law. In a case where an Israeli is caught sharing a joint with a Palestinian for instance, the former world be punished according to Israeli civil law, but the latter would be punished by Israeli military law to a harsher degree.

Tell me, do you think those BLM protesters calling for abolition of police want to round up police and their families to be slaughtered?

In contrast, elected far right politicians are openly falling for murder of Palestinians, and calling Palestine supporters "Hamas supporters" is a common dogwhistle.
