Regardless of your position on Israel, it is inaccurate to frame the speech that was being debated as students who are "critical of US imperialism".
Whether that speech is protected, whether it violates university's hate speech rules, and the Israel/Hamas conflict are completely different subjects.
Language matters. The post I replied to inaccurately characterized congressional testimony as part of an attempt to make a partisan political point.
Debating and discussing these subjects is important, and it's also important that we do so accurately.
Manipulating language to maximize outrage reaction detracts from our ability to discuss subjects objectively.
