The pic on the left here looks like Portland gas aka Fed gas to me.
Portland gas can burn through even the best filters in 20 minutes, and can be absorbed through the skin. Get away from it as soon as you can. It's more toxic than regular white/clear smoke gas (CN/CS/OC/CR).

I can't speak for what was said at the protests, but seeing people react to an anodyne statement like "sacred spaces should not be used to promote activities in violation of international law" as if it were a vicious slur is clarifying.
Zohran Mamdani chastised a Manhattan synagogue that hosted an event promoting migration to Israel and settlements in occupied territories. His stance further tested his strained relationship with pro-Israel Jews in New York.
