I don't believe people should be able to come as guests and then try to extort universities. But that's just me.

It is just you. You can read about this story online. No blackmail, no extortion or whatever you’re making up. Meanwhile the rest of us will be continuing to oppose the genocide. At least we can agree that people shouldn’t come to a place as guests and then proceed to steal land or bomb universities or hospitals or bulldoze homes or destroy the entire country and then make demands for everyone who lives there to leave.

In most countries a permanent resident has almost all the rights of a citizen. In the US they’re allowed to donate to political campaigns and hold local elected office. They part of the system not visitors. As a permanent resident in Aotearoa New Zealand I can vote just like citizens. Free speech rights extend to everyone regardless of immigration status.

I understand this PoV, but blackmail isn't covered under freedom of speech & this isnt New Zealand. Green card holders do not carry the same rights. I understand wanting the laws changed to this effect, but it still wouldn't apply to freedom of speech.

What do you describe squatting on private property & then making demands or else? How is that not blackmail? Protesting is fine, blackmail isn't.
