Democrats Launch Severe Attack on Free Speech to Protect
"Israel"
One of the
greatest free speech threats in the
west is the growing, multi-nation campaign literally to
outlaw advocacy of boycotting Israel. People get arrested in Paris – the site of the 2015 “free speech” (for Muslim critics) rally – for
wearing pro-boycott t-shirts. Pro-boycott students on U.S. campuses – where the
1980s boycott of apartheid South Africa flourished – are routinely sanctioned for violating
anti-discrimination policies. Canadian officials have threatened to criminally
prosecute boycott advocates. British government bodies
have legally barred
certain types of boycott advocacy. Israel itself has outright criminalized advocacy of such boycotts. Notably, all of this has been undertaken with
barely a peep from those who styled themselves free speech crusaders when it
came time to defend anti-Muslim cartoons.https://theintercept.com/2016/06/06/andrew-cuomo-and-other-democrats-launch-severe-attack-on-free-speech-to-protect-israel/
