§So What?

Oh, so if it had been organized by the Palestinian Student Union it would be justified and truthful? For people claiming to be protecting free speech, there is an awful lot of smoothering of non-conformist speech ats Berkeley. Why don't you organize a protest for the same time and same place as this lecture? I am sure that that is what is going to happen. Nobody is fooled. We all know that these protests that disrupt other people's speech are meant to do just that. But hey, these are the tactics of the mediocre who know that no one would give a rat's ass about their message unless it was publicized by some other means.

Palestine is the Krystalnacht of the world

The above poster simply noted the event was sponsered by the Israeli Action Committee (which the original poster should have done anyway). How is that smothering free speech? Where is the poster calling for a disruption or even a protest (which by the way is also free speech).
When i was student back in the Gulf war days little zionist scumbags use to come and disrupt my leftist professor's mideast class. How about condeming that? How about condeming the zionist students who tear down pro-palestinian flyers around campus (im a direct witness)? How about condemning the firing of the Palestinian professor in Florida for his anti-Israeli perspective? Mea Culpa is a a fuckin hypocrite.

This is a straw man argument.
