Persecution appropriation, anyone?  The spectacle of a Jew waving an Israeli flag placing himself at the head of the march is a familiar one, for instance the film The Big Short where Jews are transmuted by a sort of Philosopher’s Lead into the heroes of the Subprime Collapse.  So it was only natural that the outrage generated by Covington would  sooner or later be redirected in favour of its proper object.  Someone would finally figure out how to claim Covington for the Jews.
