I think the main reason the current Left is skeptical of free speech is Israel/Palestine. Many people have had careers destroyed for advocating for Palestinian solidarity & equality -- often at the hands of people who claim to be "liberal." This creates skepticismhttps://twitter.com/davidimarcus/status/1281763633995939841 …

I love how the conflict is cast as one side “occupying” another. Ignore that Jews of Palestine were under existential threat well before any occupation, indeed before IL. 1929 Hebron massacre but 1 example. To make this about denying my would-be killer their human rights is rich.

To be sure, a single tweet always misses nuance. But most oversimplification goes the other way. Violence between the of Palestine & the Arabs of Palestine - with Jews generally on receiving end - began well before the Holocaust, before the Jewish state, before the “occupation”.

How did you shift the convo from your generalization (w no examples) about Palestinian activists posing their careers to “ (((you)) don’t care about Palestinians? “ could it be you’re just a Jew hater generalizing w no evidence?
