Sure it is, Jews, Israel, and Zionism are conflated...you know this. Regardless, if I say "death to the Ukrainians" it's not a crime or worthy of violating the 1st Amendment.

Maybe we as Americans should demand an audit of our funds going to these Ivy League hate-filled whorehouses..

I'm fine with that, that's not what I'm arguing. I'm a free speech absolutist. I will not stand for censorship in the political arena, even of ideas I personally find abhorrent. Once we start down that road we all end up being silenced. I'd rather let the Mikesezs of the world blather on so everyone can see how bad the ideas are.

Bro, just because you want to conflate it, doesn't make it so. Sorry the left likes to use language fluidly as a debate tactic. If you want to co-opt that, go ahead, but it doesn't make your case any stronger. It just makes you disingenuous. There is no state called the Jews. Jews are a religion, and, arguably a class of people, though I believe the Supreme Court rejected that if I remember correctly. Regardless, death to blacks or death to Muslims is not protected speech.
