protesting peacefully and testing boundaries, exercising free speech

Doesn't sound like that on the ground:

And I'm sure plenty (more) of bad actors have slipped in since. It's not as cut-and-dried and lemmy is making it out.

Ehhh, that article sounds pretty biased. Yes, Jewish students don’t deserve to be persecuted, and yes, people who break the law should be arrested, but that’s true everywhere. Everything else in the article is just fearmongering.
