Free Speech vs. Anti-Semitism Legislation in Academia

This chapter explores the complex landscape of anti-Semitism legislation in higher education, particularly focusing on a proposed law that expands the definition of anti-Semitism to include criticism of Israel. It questions the implications of such legislation on free speech and the double standards in political responses, specifically concerning academic freedom. Through heated debates and specific case studies, the chapter emphasizes the ongoing tensions between controversial viewpoints and the push for censorship within academic institutions.
