Some US university presidents were asked by a congressional committee to explain why they did not punish students for stating antisemitic views. They explained that they were defending freedom of speech, which courts have ruled does apply to college students. That includes the right to express any views whatsoever.

They are now facing waves of hatred for respecting the US Constitution.

Subsequently the president of U Penn did resign. The article does not report why she yielded to this pressure.

It appears that opposition to antisemitism, opposition which I join in, is being twisted into an excuse to shut down criticism of Israel's war crimes.

Those are two different issues; condemnation of Israel's war crimes does not logically entail any opinion about Jews, just as condemnation of HAMAS's war crimes does not logically entail any opinion about Palestinians. I condemn those war crimes without antisemitism and without condemning the existence of Israel.

The word "intifada" means "uprising". Palestinians have used different methods for uprising against the occupation, some of which used violence. The occupation itself uses violence too.

Describing Palestine as stretching "from the river to the sea" does not embody antisemitism as such, but it does imply the disappearance of Israel. I oppose that goal, and therefore criticize that phrase, but I respect the freedom of speech of those who disagree with me on this issue.

Many right-wing extremists reject outright the idea that the same moral rules apply to them and to the rest of us. Rep. Stefanik, a right-wing extremist, supports a fascist US presidential contender, the wrecker, who publicly welcomes support from antisemites and even Nazis.
