Pipes did not say Palestinians needed to be crushed. That is a misquotation.
He said the “will of the Palestinians” needed to be “crushed.” Basically the point he was making is that Israel should not make compromises with Palestinians and provide them with arms/money before if Palestinians refuse to recognize Israel. Pipes suggested that Israel is in a deceptive status because of being forced to bargain with Palestinians who aren’t interested in boosting their economy and are more preoccupied with destroying Israelis.
And yes… the MSU and the few La Rouche and MECHA supporters are entitled to protest by law even if what they are saying is vile. But I feel that I am also entitled to expose what is going on here. Certainly students who identify with suicide bombing cannot be ignored.
Nonetheless, I am not trying to restrict anyone’s freedom of speech. I am, however, exercising my own.
Thanks.
