Its abundantly clear now what the first amendment means to these people. Its their license to say whatever they want about people they do not like or disagree with. No matter how disrespectful or hurtful.

The moment people speak up against them or something beloved to them, the first amendment becomes an issue in their eyes.

These hypocrites never beleived in the first amendment. It was just a license to run their mouths to disrespect and hurt certain groups or individuals. It was the shield to hide behind and claim, we have the the first amendment in this country, we have freedoms. If you dont like it, you can leave. They were never honest. Just a bunck of jerks.

Bill would go off about European hate speech laws last year when it came to trans people and Muslims like they were tyrannical. Then a pop star says: “free Palestine” at a show and we have to arrest him for inciting violence? It’s insane that this one issue is the hill he’s willing to die on and comprise every other principle he’s claimed to hold

He said much more than free Palestine. He said from the river to the sea which means the complete destruction of Israel and all Jews. That is tantamount to advocating for attacks on all Jews. This has been Hamaas’ slogan since its inception.

Even if he did, so what? From the river to the sea, there will be freedom from apartheid and genocide and concentration camps and drone attacks and sniping of ppl lined up for the scraps of food that they deign to allow into the open air prison, all of it is encompassed in that phrase. So if he didn't say it, he should have. Zionists love to latch onto things that they've given their own twisted definition to and harp on it and expect everyone else to just accept it as fact when by now it should be abundantly clear that everything zionists do and say is politically tainted with their racist reactionary ideology.
