Good! I approve of that.

One of the things about free speech is that it mean that people you dislike and disagree violently with get to speak. Like this:
Students at Columbia University launch anti-Israel ‘Columbia Intifada’ newspaper: ‘Outrageous’
The post article has more
The hateful group’s four-page spread includes no bylines or any information connecting the articles to their respective authors, nor is there any solicitation for outside perspectives or reactions from readers.
The only words on the front-page masthead is a quote from a poem by woke extremist scholar Sophia Armen, which reads, “You, genocider — who remembers you?”
It almost goes without saying that I disapprove of the opinions of this paper and the people who write and distribute it on campus.
That being said I completely approve of this method of expressing these at best misguided and at worst violently anti-Semitic opinions.
It’s not occupying buildings or disrupting classing or any form of physical violence. It’s expressing their opinion is an open way and a person is not required to own or read said opinion if they don’t want to.
In short it’s making an argument and frankly there is no reason why such a weak argument can’t be countered by people making a counter argument.
By all means feel free to attack the paper and those who write and distribute it but I’m with Sarah Hoyt when she says:
FREE SPEECH INCLUDES THE RIGHT TO PUBLICLY EXPOSE YOURSELVES AS A**HOLES
The 1st Amendment covers everybody. Even A**holes. Full stop.
