"First Amendment for Me and Not for Thee"

Oh, okay. Well I can certainly grasp the concept of a hands-off approach to free speech but I can't imagine the courts being as lenient if somebody wanted to start a pro American Nazi party or Ku Klux Klan group on campus. I'm struggling to find the silver lining in Hamas or hezbollah.

Brandenburg vs Ohio is the precedent for that. I'd be shocked if an example of your case today would even make it to the Supreme Court. The lower courts would uphold that decision, IMO.

a bit of baloney ..... you have to differentiate between "inflammatory speech", which makes some folks mad, and speech that incites an illegal action.
intentionally inciting to riot, illegal. yelling "fire" in a crowded theater, illegal. Saying or directly inferring to rape, murder and torture Jews or anyone else - illegal.
So, no, it is no precedent for the latter.
When you blur the lines between legal and illegal, you know you're a left-wing liberal knee-jerking sombeitch.
(see? that was mildly inflammatory, but does NOT espouse any committing of any illegal action.
Therefore, the "pro-hamas" , Pro-"palestinian chants are the latter, which is illegal.
Without responsibilities, there is no freedoms. Anyone would be free to usurp all your freedoms.
You're welcome.

Everyone needs to oppose this. It doesn't matter what your views are. If you support it going against a group you don't like, eventually the censorship police will come for you.

TRUE, except for praising hamas' sickening vile violence against those 1400 Jews on the 7th. Advocating/supporting war crimes isn't a matter of free speech - it's a matter of violating laws that protect people.

lets see - you criticize your gov's immigration open door policy, and you get investigated for hate speech???????
We do not want another 4 years of this corrupt gov. Vote Real Americans in before it's too late.

South Dakota signed into law a bill to combat antisemitism.
Quoted from the bill itself, it defines antisemitism as...
For the purposes of this chapter, the term "antisemitism" has the same meaning as the working definition of antisemitism adopted by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance on May 26, 2016, including the contemporary examples of antisemitism identified therein.
And going to this alliance's website, they list the following acts as antisemitic
Calling for, aiding, or justifying the killing or harming of Jews in the name of a radical ideology or an extremist view of religion.
Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective — such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions.
Accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group, or even for acts committed by non-Jews.
Denying the fact, scope, mechanisms (e.g. gas chambers) or intentionality of the genocide of the Jewish people at the hands of National Socialist Germany and its supporters and accomplices during World War II (the Holocaust).
Accusing the Jews as a people, or Israel as a state, of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust.
Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.
Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.
Applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.
Using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis.
Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.
Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel.According to this logic, if I question the loyalty of a sitting US congressman who shows up to congress in an IDF uniform, then that is worthy of jailtime in South Dakota. These people are the fucking thought police. It's a batshit crazy law, and I can't wait for it to get struck down by SCOTUS on first amendment grounds.

Well, why would you question him wearing an IDF uniform if he is an American citizen and an Israeli citizen?
Which, would never happen, I think, but if it did, why question his loyalty to America because he is also loyal to Israel? He could be retired from the Israel military and became an American.
If an elephant had giant wings it could fly?

He voted for funding a foreign war that clearly helps Israel, his other country of citizenship. As an American, this war has in the short-term, worsened inflation due to the Houthis closing the Red Sea, and in the long-term has guaranteed that we will end up accepting a bunch of Gazan refugees who will hate us for funding said war. Yeah, why would I question his loyalty to the USA? Must be antisemitism.

Why not question the current WH and dems in Congress? that would work. and we had worsening inflation before the Houthis started their "laugh and disrespect biden" assaults.

Also, not sure why diehard keeps posting holocaust pictures. Maybe he thinks that holocaust deniers should be thrown in jail?

Die Hard marches to his own drummer. But if you're asking me to offer up an opinion I would guess that he believe that tips the scale in the favor of Israel versus Hamas and pretty heavily so.

from the beginning, A few Arab countries and palestinians hated Israel, and didn't want them
to have their own country.
The Holocaust - NEVER AGAIN.
by the way.... since ancient history - hated Jews before Israel.
The army of Mohammad is coming." The reference is to a location in what is now Saudi Arabia, and to an oft-forgotten piece of Middle Eastern Jewish history. Lawrence Schiffman recounts this story, which begins in 622 CE, when the founder of Islam moved from Mecca to the city of Medina, which at the time -
"I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend your right to say it."

So, what's the threshold to have our unquestioned support? Rwandans, East Timorese, Bosnians, Armenians, Serbs, Poles, Rohingyas, and American Indians have all been on the receiving end of a genocide. Why don't we support them no matter what?
