Opinion | Speech and Antisemitism on Campus
  + stars: | 2023-11-13 | by ( ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +5 min
And he rightly suggests necessary limits on a culture of free speech, including prohibitions on harassment and targeting based on ethnic or religious identity. We can build our bastions of free speech on the foundational layers of moral clarity and intellectual integrity. To the Editor:Re “What Is Happening on College Campuses Is Not Free Speech,” by Gabriel Diamond, Talia Dror and Jillian Lederman (Opinion guest essay, Nov. 11):Protecting free speech on campus requires bravery and intellectual honesty, not partisan definitions. As Jewish students, we share in the real fear surrounding the rise of violent threats against our communities. Upholding free speech requires empathy and consistency, and we must understand that intimidation and fear on campuses are real, and they are not felt only or even primarily by Jewish students.

This most recent wave of hate began with prejudiced comments obscured by seemingly righteous language. Days later, at a pro-Palestine rally, the Cornell associate professor Russell Rickford said he was “exhilarated” by Hamas’s terror attack. In an article, a Columbia professor, Joseph Massad, seemed to relish the “awesome” scenes of “Palestinian resistance fighters” storming into Israel. Most recently, over 100 Columbia and Barnard professors signed a letter defending students who blamed Israel for Hamas’s attacks. In recent days, some universities, including Cornell, have released statements denouncing antisemitism on campus.
