Response to the Three Hypocrites ..

There is NO context in which it is remotely acceptable to call for, or to condone calls for,  genocide. Not of Jews. Not of Muslims. Not of any religious group. Not of any nationality or ethnic group. Not of either biological sex (selective abortions in misogynistic societies). Not of any group, no matter one's personal feelings. 

Free speech, which disgraced Liz Magill claims she was supporting, requires the courage to speak up for that which is morally right. Free speech requires the courage to speak against that which is morally wrong.

...

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

—Martin Niemöller
