Critics of Israel’s merciless war on Gaza are facing threats of government prosecution and blacklists or firings. In this neo-McCarthyist environment, anything pro-Palestine is being made to carry the whiff of bigotry or even incitement to violence.

    The companies that want to distance themselves from this, are perfectly entitled to.

    Major donors are pulling money from public institutions over their beliefs on this issue is again completely fair and understandable.

    I’m not sure what State actions are being done to limit freedom of expression, those should be struck down though.

    Those who openly support terrorism like we’re seeing on campuses across America should be shamed. I’m not sure it should go so far as to arrest them, but inciting violence should be watched for closely. Some places have hate speech laws, that are clearly being violated by these disgusting assholes.

      Hate speech laws violate the 1A. At least half the churches in America would have to be shut down otherwise.
