Consociational democracy can be found in countries that are deeply divided into distinct religious, ethnic, racial, or regional segments—conditions usually considered unfavourable for stable democracy. The two central characteristics of consociationalism are government by grand coalition and segmental autonomy. Government by grand coalition is the institutional setting in which representatives of all significant segments participate in common decision making with regard to common concerns, whereas decision making remains autonomous for all other issues. In all respects, consociationalism contrasts profoundly with majority-rule democracy (majoritarianism).

There was no antisemitism or violent behavior at that protest..
Because it got shut down before it could start. The useful idiot protestors said they were going to do exactly what Columbia did, and those things happened at Columbia. The school forbid the antisemitic protests, yet the protestors came on campus illegally anyways. So they got arrested for trespassing ... as they should have.
When we talk about Israel being the only democracy in the Middle East, we often forget Lebanon.

That teacher was arrested for interfering with the legitimate arrest of the protestor who was breaking the law.
Interfering with the police is a crime.
Code Library
130.05 OBSTRUCTING, IMPEDING OR INTERFERING WITH POLICE OFFICER.
It shall be unlawful for any person to obstruct, impede or interfere with any police officer in the execution of his or her office or in the performance of his or her official duties.
Anarchists at George Washington University (GWU) in Washington, D.C., have apparently called for the beheadings of school administrators amid their continued anti-Israel encampment.
On Tuesday, demonstrators on campus called for the "guillotine" to be used on GW President Ellen Granberg and other school administrators, a video posted to social media showed.
"Guillotine, Guillotine, Guillotine, Guillotine" a person repeatedly chanted as others joined in, while some specifically targeted Christopher Alan Bracey, GW’s African American provost, The National Desk (TND) reported. "Bracey, Bracey we see you, you assault students too."
"To the guillotine," another can be heard shouting, per the report. "Off to the motherf****** gallows with you too."
