Demonstrations In New York Make Several Things Clear

The demonstrators support Hamas. Their goal is not the safety and well-being of Gaza's people, their goal is victory for Hamas in its crusade to kill and drive away the Jews of Israel.

Hamas made clear on October 7 last how it means to gain its goal. The demonstrators are on board with this, and applaud the means Hamas employs to attain its goal.

Stating the demonstrators have a right to free speech is saying the people demonstrating have a right to openly advocate torture, rape, and murder of Jews. Once one has said this, pressing on to say 'I don't support the torture, rape, and murder of Jews, but they've got the right to' has the ring of a cracked bell.
