Who are hating Jews?
Trump’s just pissed cause he could never crack the rental property market on the upper West Side surrounding Columbia in NYC
Interesting how Trump is going after the Ivies and Ann Arbor but we didn’t see any House hearings into such as University of Texas or several other southern State schools that had major protests last Fall

As usual, Moon chooses the most radical, Leftist, pro-Palestinian sources it can.
Nader Hashemi is your typical radical Leftist academic as evidenced by his CV:
Nader Hashemi - ACMCU
Nader Hashemi is the Director of the Alwaleed Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding and Associate Professor of Middle East and Islamic Politics at the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University.

His above comments amount to a fallacy fallacy. He tells us that current events happening in response to demonstrations on university campuses with respect to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are due to conditions he gives us without any supporting evidence. He also single sources them. That is, he gives no leeway or alternative reasons events are playing out as they are.
In a sense, he uses a "chicken or the egg" argument here unwittingly. Which came first, anti-Israeli protests that were often violent and almost always called for violence against Jews, or the crackdown against those protests? Hashemi downplays the protests as "...anti-Jewish sentiment." Hardly. In those protests, participants called for the destruction of Israel and the mass killing of Jews.
"By any means necessary." Wouldn't that include genocide against Jews and the destruction of Israel?
Another call for the destruction of Israel.
Worse, he glosses over the FACT that some, even many, of these protesters are foreign citizens. They have no special right to come to the US and engage in political protests or worse, violent protests. It should seem reasonable that anyone like that when caught being so involved, would be summarily deported.
He then concludes using common propaganda techniques of name calling and appeal to fear to try and persuade the reader.
Nobody is saying you can't protest Israel's actions, contrary to Hashemi's assertions. What you cannot do is openly call for violence against others or commit violent actions--such as forcibly occupying university buildings as but one example--while protesting.

Source to him calling for violence or commiting violent actions.
He isn't charged.

His isn't calling for violence or committing it. He's excusing others for doing those things and saying they shouldn't be held accountable for them.

So he exercised his First Amendment right. No law was broken.

Correct. However, his opinion is one that should be reviled and pointed out for its hateful nature. Showing support for those calling for the destruction of Israel, committing actual violence, and being antisemitic to the point of calling for another Holocaust should be unacceptable. Hashemi does exactly that in his statement.
He is no different from some radical Rightwing neo-Nazi in his position.

Israel is in breach of more UN resolutions than every other state combined. Israel has just murdered over 60,000 Palestinians. Israel is being investigated for genocide. Israel illegally occupies the territory of three other countries. There are arrest warrants out for Israel's leaders.
Anybody that ISN'T calling for the destruction of Zionism must be criminally complicit.

The UN is IRRELEVANT!
That's what the Palestinians get for starting a war with Israel and being completely incompetent in ability to fight said war.
Claims some irrelevant "international" body or another that has no power to do anything about anything, along with likely the countries that got their land taken as a result of losing a war or six with Israel. Don't start wars you can't fucking win!
From more moot courts and international bodies that have no enforcement power making them irrelevant.
Anybody that is calling for the destruction of "Zionism" is a fucking Nazi, antisemitic, hater, and racist. That includes YOU, you, you fucking Nazi, antisemitic, hater, and racist.
