> since October 7, Western academics, students, artists, and activists have denied, excused, or even celebrated the murders by a terrorist sect As a non-native english speaker, I'm not sure if the semantics of this claim is "there exist people in said groups that do this" or "generally, people in said groups do this"? Or something else? It seems the weak form is obviously true and strong form is obviously false.
