The AZ Star's Tim Steller wrote a column, "Crackdown on campus protests smells of opinion bias." He wrote, "But whatโs been frighteningly clear this week is the willingness of some administrators and politicians to crack down on the expression of political opinions they oppose or are being pressured to stifle." I do not recall Steller "smelling opinion bias" when conservative speakers and clubs have been denied expression on university campuses. The phrase "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" is in Hamas' charter. Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib was censured in the House of Representatives by a bi-partisan vote for her use of the phrase. Democrat Rep. Brad Schneider said โIt is nothing else but the call for the destruction of Israel and murder of Jews." Anti-Israel, pro Palestinian protesters have set up tent camps on campuses, distracted classroom activities, taken over campus buildings, defaced campus property with anti-Semitic writing, and created an atmosphere of intimidation for Jewish students. Steller's column is liberal garbage.
