Praising the true modern version of actual genuine Nazis is ok?

Praising HAMAS is free expression.
Praising Trump is unacceptable.

Around the 1973 Yom Kippur War I heard one college woman asked by another what her checkered black and white scarf meant.
“I actually don’t know. I think it has something to do with wanting peace in the Middle East.”

(The shemagh, also known as the keffiyeh or Arab scarf.)

I have no problem with expressing support for Hamas. I also dont have a problem with expressing support for Israel. It is when people move beyond expression and undertake violence.

What about praise for President Trump? Is that also considered “free exchange of diverse ideas and perspectives”?

For a liberal hate speech all depends on who you are hating. Hating Jews is OK. Hating conservatives is OK. Hating white colonizers (what other kind of colonizer is ther.) is ok. The trifecta is white Jewish colonizers.What you can’t hate is anyone in their intersectional club of commie misfits with the moral compass of a rattle snake.

“Swarthmore College says praise of Hamas is part of the ‘free exchange of diverse ideas and perspectives’”

I have no problem with that as long as

1) the school doesn’t promote Hamas and their atrocities against Jews, and

2) the school permits no violence or intimidation against the jews

Ideas that are adversarial to ours should not threaten us. Our country is founded upon freedom and freedom of speech. As Reagan said, the truth wins in a free society as long as the people are informed and there is a free flow of information. Knowledgeable people will always vote for freedom.

My daughter received a full free ride to Swarthmore . . . and turned it down. I am so glad she stayed in Texas. Now, more than ever.

I’m convinced that raw stupidity is all that’s produced at Ivy League colleges. They don’t seem to have any knowledge of history

"Swarthmore College says praise of Hamas is part of the 'free exchange of diverse ideas and perspectives'

Does that mean that Swarthmore students can also sing "Dixie" and wave a Confederate Flag?

As if Hamas has a “free exchange of diverse ideas and perspectives”.

ANY conservative speaker on campus will get shouted down and forced to leave. Yeah, “free expression and exchange of ideas.”

That is what freedom of speech means. But I am sure Swarthmore would immediately block many other kinds of speech.

Their hypocrisy is endless.

I am all for free speech. But Swarthmore should also allow pro-Israeli speech, and any other kind of advocacy that students want to present. We all know they won’t do that though.
