Crackdown on Speech Criticizing Israel in U.S. Institutions

The chapter delves into the escalating attacks on free speech rights in the United States for individuals criticizing Israel, expressing support for Palestine, or opposing government funding of Israel's war efforts. Instances of censorship and cancel culture, particularly at Columbia University, are highlighted, with administrators facing repercussions for speech deemed upsetting to Jewish students. The chapter also explores the complexities of defending free speech, re-education efforts on college campuses, and the potential impact on employment and fundraising within institutions.
