I listened to this and thought it was good, except I was completely flabbergasted by the failure to grasp the underlying threat that is really the issue. When Bari and the panel discussed a hypothetical world where AOC is president and they are looking to deport a pro-Israel student, they expressed concern that the Khalil precedent could support that deportation, which needs to be taken into account in evaluating how to treat this case.
But fundamentally, if we are living in a world where the government is looking to deport people who support Israel’s right to exist, then free speech is going to be the least of the problem for American Jews. That is a world where Jews will not be safe in America, regardless of what they can or can’t say.
