Some of us are just students… taking photos of egregious things that are happening in unavoidably public places on the campuses we pay to use.
If you see anyone smearing all the peace protesters as antisemitic and dangerous, that person gets paid to do propaganda, not news. They're definitely lying about the protests. And they're definitely doing it to shut down all protests of Israel. And they have.

The hypocrisy, double standards, and selectivity are what cast immense doubt on moves like Penn's recent push for "institutional neutrality." You cannot claim you want to "amplify faculty" and then do so with an ideological balancing test.
On October 7—as Hamas was live-streaming the worst pogrom since the Shoah—a UPenn professor, Anne Norton, said that the violence was justified and described it as a legitimate form of self-defense.
She is not the one Penn is punishing for offensive speech.
