Perhaps he is secular and doesn't care about Israel.
He's American, why would he?

"Congress shall make no law . . . abridging freedom of speech". But I am not Congress, so I am free to use any lawful power I possess to abridge your freedom of speech. And you can do the same to me.

Read the entire statement by the student. The student has every right to express her viewpoint and she’s actually right.

Harris just acknowledged her statements but said little else. She’s not going to touch that issue because the U.S. will continue to aid Israel on its citizens’ dime.

The right nor the left are not systematically (or otherwise) shutting down free speech as protected by The Constitution as you claim.
I intentionally linked to articles written by liberal Jonathan Turley, a Constitutional Attorney and Scholar, yet you're arguing these aren't matters of free speech? According to him, they are, and he has a hell of a lot more credibility than some random poster who claims to be in law.

The left is shutting down free speech on social media, in public and private universities, in the press, and being punitive to the point where witch hunts are unleashed and people lose their jobs. Folks have even been beaten up for protesting things like men exposing themselves to women and children after saying they were transgendered and had rights in a woman's spa. Protesting is free speech, yet the left wouldn't allow it, in favor of perverts and pedophilia.

I knew your question was being used as bait so you could argue about something and you didn't disappoint. In typical loony left style, these aren't really 'free speech' issues in your opinion so they don't count.

They DO count. And people like you are the problem with our nation.

No I don't think that Israel is evil or half as bad as AOC and the gang claim, but Israel is also not a trustworthy friend.
If you think Israel is the bad guy you're consuming leftist fake news.

No, I'm not sure that's the case. Most of the left (OK, make that many) are simply anti-Semitic. Much like their predecessors in National Socialism, they feel the need to demonize Jewish people and the Jewish state of Israel simply for existing. It's their thing, I'm not sure they need the "fake news" media to spoon-feed their bigotry.

That you would even ask that question means that it would be a waste of time to explain it to you.

That is not true at all. Nobody objects to their right to exist in a Jewish state. The objection is to the forcible seizure of somebody else's homeland. Stop listening to fake news.

If you side with the Palestinians, then you object to their right to exist as a Jewish state.

The Palestinians DON'T want their own country. They have rejected it multiple times.

They want to live in Israel, as Israeli citizens, making it no longer a Jewish state.

Then they will have enough votes to change the government. Once the government is changed, they can change the name of the country to Palestine. And then they can arrest and/or kill all of the Jews there.

So I said what I said. If you side with the Palestinians, then you object to their right to exist as a Jewish state.

Never again. Sorry not sorry.
