Also, besides doing vandalism, some are also blocking Jewish students trying to walk on campus and some Jewish students have been threatened.

when they say, and they do a lot, "From the river to the Sea" is defined as kill all Jews. That is not free speech imo it is a threat of not just a person but all people of the Jewish nation.

all one needs to understand what we Hear the Activist Saying scroll down for the list, the top is informative also.

I looked over the website you provided. Here is an excerpt:

"Antisemitic acts are criminal when they are so defined by law (for example, denial of the Holocaust or distribution of antisemitic materials in some countries)."

My question to you, and anyone else for that matter, is this:

How and why does the act of denying something ( in this case the holocaust) become a criminal offense? Should we not have the  right to deny anything we wish? Whether our denial of the subject is legitimate or not?

I and I think  we as Americans tend to put faith in "The Truth" not "my truth' as is taught by the left in our country. Another way to answer your Q  is yes you can deny anything you wont as long as you are not pushing your belief on the public.

Are you living in America?

I can peacefully have a rally in this country ( America) and deny the existence of God all day long, for example. The problem is when you are exercising that right in criticism of a "political" entity that has the power of government on their side. Then strange things start to happen to your individual liberties. That's my main concern, FOR ALL HUMANS.

The Columbia Grad Student has not yet been deported - due legal process is being done.  I think I read where he is being held in Louisiana.  Judge there is considering the issues.

The individual is a guest in this country with a green card/Visa

- He organized protests and distributed literature advocating for violence

- the protests occupied buildings on campus -  legal or not?

- Did the protests do any damage?  to be determined

- Did the protests threaten or harm any one?  to be determined

- Advocating support for a group (Hamas) who has been declared a terrorist group by the USA -  is that legal? Is it a hate crime?

As a guest of this country - should they be held to a different standard?

I'd like to get a full report. Soon we should have all the facts after the smoke clears.
