The pro-Hamas protests at the University of Texas at Austin have resulted in multiple arrests of students. Does this mean Texas is crushing free speech? Today’s show gets into that.
“The issue is harassing, it’s blocking other students from getting to their classes, obstructing traffic, those are crimes,” Crowder said. “It is already a crime, it’s not a crime to say something people do not disagree with.”
Most people on the right agree that you cannot legislate hate or someone’s hateful words.
“The less Republicans use the term ‘antisemitic, the more effective you’ll be,” Crowder said. “Not saying that that doesn’t exist and not saying that a lot of these people don’t hate Jews – of course, they do if they support Hamas. However, it becomes white noise. Talk about the crime, that is what is most important.”
Hundreds of students walked out of class to protest against the conflict in Gaza and demand the university divest from companies that manufacture machinery used in Israel’s war efforts, carrying signs and chanting.
“These same students [in organizations like] Justice for Palestine – you can go into their social media profiles and see them constantly demanding the banning of anyone on campus with whom they disagree. They don’t want any speakers [on campus] who are right-wing and then they say they have the right to speak when they block traffic. Whenever you hear the left say ‘Free Speech’ you know it’s not true because it only implies at that moment,” Crowder said.
Students protesting against the Israel-Gaza war are demanding that their schools sever financial ties to Israel and companies involved in the conflict.
“What gives [them] the right to tell someone else what to do with their money? What authority do you think you have? This is the complete misunderstanding of Democracy or Representable Republic,” Crowder said. “The police gave them the opportunity to disperse and they didn’t.”
