My question is broadly based about how anti-Palestinian and anti-Muslim behavior and speech is treated. The universities, the GQP and conservative whacks in general have been championing and demanding access for years to have Islamophobic speakers to come to come to universities. When 10/7 happened do you think it was safe for Palestinian students to walk freely on campuses? Really?

The point being that we in America, and we're not alone, are selective when it comes to the effort put in to provide protections for various groups. But hypocrisy has been a large fixture in the US from even before our founding and continuing right on to this day.
