> Pretty sure the police won't come after you for criticizing disabled people or your colleagues' babies

Literally protected categories! No, criticism won’t get the cops after you in America. But also, no, criticizing Israel in America is commonplace and not really prosecuted. (The courts ruled the student stuff was illegal.)


You are being pretty sleazy about what protected categories mean, it does not mean that you will get prosecuted for criticizing it.

Those crazy libertarians and weird urbanists that criticized disabled parking spots, have not been shoved in the back of an unmarked van for writing about it in small magazines.

Yet when students write against zionist genocide in small college magazines they get threatened, and shoved in unmarked vans. No need for dishonesty.

Most people criticizing Israel are not being prosecuted.

Dishonesty is ignoring that those actions were halted by the courts.
