Hipster anti-Semitism is still anti-Semitism
The news is mind-bogglingly dire this week, and it’s just too much to digest. Way too many people are revealing themselves to be anti-Semites, along with the anti-Semites we knew about already. The more evidence we see of Hamas’ butchery, the louder the Jew-haters get.
So I’m trying to focus on the free-speech aspect of all this. Right now is one of the times when the rock-ribbed Republican on one side of my brain is at war with the hippy-dippy libertarian on the other side, so I hope you’ll indulge me as I work this out.
A lot of lefties are suddenly having second thoughts about their support for Hamas. They cheered on the butchery of terrorists, and now they’re facing the consequences. Their recreational anti-Semitism is hurting their career prospects.
Here’s just one example: Some billionaire named Bill Ackman wants Harvard University to reveal the names of students who signed a statement blaming the people of Israel for the murder of their own children. He doesn’t want to hire any of those anti-Semites by accident.

Free speech his free speech, unless it derectly advocates violence
Did anyone actually say they don’t have the write? One has the right to say all kinds of horrible things, it doesn’t mean they should.
You have free speech ... unless you are protesting a stolen election in the Capital Building. Might even get you shot.
Someone could say, “Charles Manson,” is the greatest American in history. That would not make me want to hire them.
Well stated.
“Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.”
There were 27 dead Americans the last I read, and I assume there are some American hostages too.
Say what you will, deal with the response you receive. That’s all folks.
Those protestors do not care about the Palestinians. Those are anti-jewish rallies
Praising people who openly say they want to kill Americans and Israelis is not free speech. It is giving aid and comfort to our enemies.
Muslims who say Muslims have the right to kill and enslave non-muslims are giving aid and comfort to our enemies.
Or locked away for months or years without a trial.
Why not?
Many on this site applaud the murder of anything they don’t like…
Kill all Russians, Chinese, Irianians, NK, Muslims, Liberals, Non-Christians….
You add to the list if I missed any of the non approved groups as of today.
Gods Speed.👍
i say sing it
sing it loud and clear
i want to know what kind of human being you are
if you are for killing babies
i want it to be front page news
Agree- they have the right to applaud Hamas. And i have an equal right to call them the sc*mbags they are for doing as much.
Free speech is free speech, and this way you know who the fools are.
Per his site, I’ll bite: who the heck IS Jim Treacher? Never heard of him until five minutes ago. Not a writer, I hope. I can’t even figure out what the point of producing this lightweight, insight-free column is. I think I even agree with him, but I’m not sure since this is just a few hundred words tossed onto a page
Sure they do, but the rest of us have the right to make sure they don’t work where we work, or go get services, or get hired by us as doctors or lawyers etc. they can say anything they want, they just have to accept the consequences
Just as we have the right to question: election, laptop, vax or anything else.
Like others posted-I want this public-followed by challenging and ridicule-if it rises to incitement, harassment etc..-criminally charge them.
Yeah, they have the right.
And we have the right to call them on it and shame them, if they are even capable of such a feeling.
And I also have the right to not do business with any of them.
In my world, colluding/conspiring is OTB.
If individuals want to act-go for it.
When industry/institution start ganging up against the individual for lawfully expressing themselves on public property-that is fascism and I’m out.
