actual free speech absolutism is structurally incompatible with postmodern retard politics, they are all built on micromanaging the discourse in some way, they all rely on controlling narratives
youre more likely to find a genuine defense of free speech among the "apolitical" even though asserting that right is clearly political, the only "realistic" position towards free speech among the elite and counterelites involve either manipulate the concept or abandoning it entirely, oddly enough the retard left is more honest with their intentions here

Only the ones that are not hopelessly cucked by Israel.

There's like 40% of Republicans who don't like Israel at this point, they're just not represented at all by the GOP on this.

I really find it difficult to understand how students walking out of class poses any kind of threat to a university. They already paid their money for the classes and it's not like they're producing anything by learning.

It's a mild interruption to voice disapproval, I agree actually. American resistance thus far has continued to be embarrassingly tepid - I never begrudge it myself, but we needed to be beyond this point a year ago. Is there anything I can read about organizing something more serious?

All that stuff is basic democratic political expressions. Maybe democracy is a threat to these people.

The strange thing is that if western governments had yielded to pressure from civil society, thus forcing Israel to be peaceful rather than genocidal, that would meant Israel continuing on it's previous trajectory of slowy gaining acceptance among it's neighbors. Eventually Israel would have been recognized by most governments in the region, and the Palestinian cause would have slowly faded away.

Instead what they did now pissed off a huge number of previously a-political people in the west for trampling their civil liberties. Israel's economy is ruined, the IDF is overstretched. And virtually everybody who lives in that region, which is hundreds of millions, now regards Israel as "the great evil to be vanquished". It's hard to imagine how this doesn't end with the dissolution of Israel.

Mahmoud Khalil’s lawyer: “We intend to fully vindicate not just his first amendment rights, but the first amendment rights of all Americans who wish to speak out.”

Ali Abunimah: My latest: NY Zionist group Betar USA, which claims credit for the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, appears not to be registered with the state, even though it is asking for charitable donations. A state employee told me that would be a violation of the law.

I've filed a complaint with the office of New York State AG Letitia James and will continue to pursue transparency of this extremist group that demanded more "blood" of Palestinian babies and which incites hatred and violence.

TODAY: Protesters gathered outside the ICE detention center in rural Jena, Louisiana where Mahmoud Khalil is being held, making noise to support him while his first hearing was taking place back in NYC. Activists say he was intentionally moved far away from his lawyers and family, and that his due process is being violated. But clearly, wherever the state puts him, he will have supporters nearby.

Protest movement is gaining traction again, but it's still nowhere near enough. It's obvious that the US gov't doesn't give a shit.

Pregnant wife of detained Palestinian Columbia University student speaks out

We have been reporting for several days on the detention of Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian activist at Columbia University, by the US Department of Homeland Security.

“He is the most incredible person who cares so much for other people,” his wife Noor Abdalla told the Reuters news agency. “He is the most kind, genuine soul.”

On Wednesday, Khalil’s lawyers argued to a federal judge that he had been arrested in retaliation for his outspoken advocacy against Israel’s war on Gaza. The judge extended his order blocking Khalil’s deportation while he considers whether the arrest was constitutional.

The couple are expecting their first child in late April. She said she hoped Khalil would be free by then.

“I think it would be very devastating for me and for him to meet his first child behind a glass screen,” Abdalla said. “I’ve always been so excited to have my first baby with the person I love.”

The amount of Hasbara bots that are now showing up on Twitter to demand that American Jews be "rounded up and deported" or killed is fucking insane holy shit

>>488122
Yeah it appears Zionists are going mask off now. They increasingly sound like the original Fascists in WW2, and there is a distinct chance they are committing narrative suicide with their demands to "round up the Jews".

Found even more. These people are fucking deranged.

BREAKING | Columbia University Sued Over Student Record Disclosure*

Mahmoud Khalil, detained pro-Palestinian Columbia graduate, and 7 other students have filed a federal lawsuit against Columbia University, Barnard College, and the U.S. House Committee on Education and Workforce.

The lawsuit alleges that Columbia University unlawfully disclosed private student disciplinary records to Congress in response to a House committee investigation into campus protests and alleged antisemitism. Plaintiffs claim this disclosure violated privacy laws and free speech rights.

Mahmoud Khalil, one of the plaintiffs, was arrested by ICE last week but has not been charged with any crime. He remains detained in Louisiana, with the State department attempting to revoke his green card under a controversial Communist-era immigration policy.

The House committee’s inquiry centered on 11 campus protests tied to pro-Palestinian activism. Its letter to Columbia threatened federal funding cuts if the university failed to comply. Plaintiffs argue this amounts to political intimidation targeting dissenting voices.

Advocacy group CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) and the law firm Dratel & Lewis are supporting the lawsuit. CAIR has criticized Columbia’s compliance, calling it “a betrayal of academic freedom” and an act that undermines student privacy protections.

Notably, the lawsuit seeks to block further disclosures of student records and argues that compliance with the congressional subpoena violates First Amendment protections as well as university policies designed to safeguard student privacy.
