> It seems the author is incapable of distinguishing pro-Palestine from pro-Hamas, and equally incapable of distinguishing anti-Israel from anti-semitism. A pity from someone who is ostensibly advocating from critical thinking. I think TFA makes is very clear the author believes many at these pro-palestine rallies are actually anti-semitic people. I'll remember you the Harvard and Penn president resigned. They didn't resign because of a plagiarized Phd thesis (in Harvard's ex- president's case) or because of their condescending attitude in front of congres... They resigned because they refused to condemn calls for the genocide of jews on campuses, saying it was "contextual" whether this was allowed or not. And the issue isn't an issue of free speech vs Harvard/Penn/MIT's code of conduct: the issue is that there are anti-semitic people at these rallies chanting anti-semitic slogans. That was literally the question congress was asking: "Do you condemn the calls for the genocide of jews on campus?". "from the river to the sea" is at the very least anti-israel (but likely anti-semitic too). "gas the jews", well, leaves no much room for interpretation. There are vids out there with students, throughout the world, chanting that. How many? Which percentage of the people at these rallies are anti-semitic? Which percentage of the people at the pro-palestine rallies who didn't lift a finger to condemn the Hamas attack on october 7th are actually anti-semitic? I can condemn Israel's attack on Gaza because I was, here on HN and elsewhere, condemning the Hamas attack on october 7th. But those who didn't condemn these horrible attacks have, to me, just the right to shut the fuck up.
