This is very troubling. Donald Trump reportedly is being either brainwashed or is allowing this type of nonsense to occur. Now Trump is still the better choice compared to the woke Democrats imo. But we have a problem here.



Look at the loon Rabbi in the video above… note how he is using radical left-wing tactics to smear anyone who disagrees with him politically as racist.

Hats off to Candace Owens and Matt Walsh for criticizing this. It is as they point out attacked straight out of the BLM playbook to change the definition of racism or in this case anti-semitism to suite a politic agenda.

The Trump administration is catering to fanatical anti-free speech people who for example, want to penalize people who criticize individual Jews as being more loyalty Israel, for example. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Obviously there are plenty of cases in history of an American citizen being more loyal to X country than America itself.

Plenty of pro Israel people will agree that it’s wrong to punish somebody for suggesting an individual Jew is more loyal to Israel, or criticizing The Israeli government.
 
I don’t know if it’s still going on but a few years ago there was actually a situation in New York State, where if you were a government worker or contracted with the government…. you were forced to sign a statement saying you would not agree with the BDS movement in other words, the boycott, diverse and sanction Israel movement. That is so despicable it is an ugly blot on American history that such a thing exists.
 
Some are actually exercising their free speech, yes. I oppose this idea of deporting them for that, if in fact that's all they're doing.

On the other hand, you speak nothing of Leftist College Academia literally smothering free speech from the right, in an absolute total disregard for free speech.

So either you opposed the latter, or are enforcing a double standard.

No no let me clear up any misunderstanding. I am vehemently opposed to left-wing cancel culture. Its obvious from my posting history..

I even said in the original post I still prefer Donald Trump so I’m not sure where your accusation comes from but I’ve cleared it up anyway.

I have seen to many pro Israel folk use BLM tactics like smearing people as anti-Jewish with no evidence. I find it to be disturbing and very ugly. Obviously, there are many other pro Israel people who do not engage in such tactics.

because one is outlawed, and the other isn't Templar

What is Trump doing that has you and Owens so concerned?
 
Let me know when the Jews are perfect.
Same with the Arabs.
and also include humanity.

Perhaps Progs should stop all aid in any way to the middle east when empowered again to prove their agendas.
 
How much did the US get sued over the J6ers being denied due process?

The right of free speech really only applies to what the government can or cannot do, not private entities. For example I can’t walk into a church and demand a free speech right to preach a satanist sermon. They don’t have to allow that.

Universities don’t have to allow free speech at all. But it behooves them, as institutions that claim to be all about fostering free thinking and exchange of ideas, to do so or they risk valid criticism. (I seriously doubt rightwing colleges allow much in the way of leftist free speech either ;) )

Universities get the majority of their endowments from the government. Government has sway.

I believe free speech rights only apply to public universities and there limitations.
I believe free speech is unlimited. If you're passing policies on your campus which restrict, or allow for restriction of it; and if your endowment relies in whole or in part on government money, the money should be withdrawn until changes are made.

Public colleges and universities should churn out people who think freely and speak freely, not robots program to spout an agenda.
 
Free speech is the basis of our country and our rights...Even if you don't like hearing it.
