Let's face it. Most of us don't. Some people argue that there's actually a reason why that person/talk should be cancelled. Most academics just shrug and move on.
The right uses "free speech" cynically. The left doesn't like it because it sounds liberal. And so our academic freedom evaporates.

wo sagt elfriede jelinek das? (würde so gern mehr von ihrer kritik dazu hören, aber finde es nicht.)

We are going to end up with two political coalitions in which one thinks "fighting antisemitism" means shutting down universities and deporting students, which polls show most actual Jews oppose, and the other thinks all antisemitism is a right-wing wedge issue. And Republicans want it that way.

A reality in which Jews are targeted because of Israel's actions is intolerable. It also plays straight into the hands of Israel's Kahanist government, trying to present the mobilisation against the annihilation of Gaza as antisemitic.
