    “It is not just explicit pro-Hamas symbols and chants that are cause for concern. I would encourage police to consider whether chants such as: ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’ should be understood as an expression of a violent desire to see Israel erased from the world,

    I don’t approve of what Palestine is doing, but saying “I want to be free” is in no way similar to saying “I want to erase somebody else from the world”.

    Glad we have free speech here in America, so people can say stuff like that, and other people can think they’re jerks, but at the end of the day neither of them end up in jail over it.
