Understandably, venues cancel events featuring Hamas supporters like Tlaib. This is a time for moral clarity. Israel has a right to self-defense and must destroy Hamas. These pro-Palestinian protests and rallies often turn violent, unlike pro-Israel rallies.ASU is a public state university. Taxpayer dollars shouldn’t be used to support an event that aligns with Hamas, a designated terrorist organization. Not only are venues shutting down pro-Palestine events to show support for Israel, but it is also a public safety move.
Here's where I fundamentally disagree with Karen Townsend: I want Rashida Tlaib to keep talking. I want everybody to hear her and judge if she is the right person to be a Congresswoman. Furthermore, hiding behind the "public safety move" excuse is just another version of the heckler's veto that conservatives normally deplore when we're on the receiving end.
Free speech is how we identify the enemies. We need to hear them for our own safety.

Free speech hero Elon Musk has been busy slandering the Jews. Now he's planning to drop a "thermonuclear" lawsuit on Media Matters for daring to accurately report about Nazi and antisemitic content on Twitter.
Musk's lawsuit announcement was titled "Stand with X for free speech." That's the same principle he wishes to attack in court.
The following day, Musk and Stephen Miller got the Missouri Attorney General to post "My team is looking into this matter." The same AG is suing the Biden administration for contacting social media companies, which he thinks is "censorship." Just wait till someone tells him he has no jurisdiction.
On Musk's site, the Twitter incels and doofuses are complaining about leftist advertisers yanking their money from the site because of the hate talk Musk promotes. Apparently money is speech when they want it to be, but other times it's not.
The Babylon Bee's owner Seth Dillon has pledged to step up and spend $250,000 on new ads. Because he thinks it sends an important message to bail out the richest man in the world.
Dillon says he hopes that others will follow his example. If he can find another 399 people to match his $250,000, that will fill the revenue hole that Apple spent on Twitter ads last year. But Apple is just one of many corporate advertisers that are taking a hiatus from funding Musk's vile Jew-bashing.
