Danon received backlash from social media activists for his attempt at an attack on Watson. 

This is so dehumanizing and a disgusting display of hatred towards Palestinians.

Calling any form of solidarity with Palestinians "antisemitic" is just saying that Palestinians are a lesser people—undeserving of basic dignity and human rights. https://t.co/kSP01LdAp3

No joke, we are at the point where merely posting a vague picture referencing solidarity with Palestinians on Instagram gets you labeled as an antisemite. It’s only Jan 3. May God give me patience for the this year. https://t.co/DsH4K9umtd

— Ayman (@AymanM) January 3, 2022

If you use the word ‘antisemite’ for someone whose only crime is to use a Palestinian flag, you cheapen antisemitism. And people who cheapen antisemitism are horrible human beings. https://t.co/G2i1yxLq9h
