I am a Jewish Hoosier. While I support any policy that prevents and/or punishes acts of violence or vandalism against Jews, or any other peoples, I also support protesters’ right to free speech. Speaking out against the state of Israel’s actions in Palestine or supporting the Palestinian people is NOT anti-Semitism. There are already laws on the books against physical acts of violence against anyone, for any reason. However, these student protesters have a right to free speech, guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. Nothing Gov. Braun can sign will change that. We don’t need more laws. We need enforcement of existing laws. That includes protecting Jews, African-Americans, LGBTQ’s etc. against acts of violence. Yet we also need to enforce the U.S. Constitution and other laws to protect protesters right to speak their minds in peaceful protest.
BRAVO!
And on Wednesday, WRTV published a Braun press release and claimed it was “By WRTV Staff.” HELLO, journalism school graduates? Anyone out there? “ALLEGED acts of antisemitism (sic).” Just because Cheeto President’s Boy Braun is parroting his Feckless Leader doesn’t mean YOU have to!
Trump and his toadie Braun would have us believe that it’s now “antisemitic” to oppose genocide. More specifically, when Israel is committing it. Ironic, ain’t it? Try to sort out the actual meaning and use of that buzzword, and to whom and what it applies, and how it’s helping its original targets, or not.
If speaking up against the actions (or inaction) of your government is now illegal or taboo, why are all the Jan 6 rioters free?
The same conservatives who complained about snowflake lefties on campus not being able to handle free speech are now censoring on behalf of genocidal apartheid Jewish-supremacist Israel. Such hypocrisy. If you don’t support freedom of speech you hate, you don’t support freedom of speech.
