    I agree that anti-zionist should be a protected class too. Both sides are subject to false projections and hate and should be protected.

      here i think we mostly agree, but students already have extra protections and responsibilities above the level of common citizens. what further protections and/or responsibilities are required here?

        Increase the consequences of actual hate speech to discourage it. In my eyes it is the root of all the horrors enacted in the past almost century. Keep the disagreement polite, without threats of violence from either side, and resolve this rationally so this BS can end.

        Unfortunately nobody is incentivized to do this so the pinball machine keeps ding-a-linging daily…
