Since the horrific Hamas massacre of Israeli civilians on Oct. 7, antisemitism has skyrocketed in the United States and around the world. Calls for genocide against the Jewish people have been made repeatedly at riots and rallies across the country. College campuses have become hotbeds for hate and anti-Jewish sentiment. Too many seem inclined to turn a blind eye and defend the perpetrators with claims of free speech.

Let me be clear: Antisemitism is not free speech, calls for genocide are not free speech, and anyone who defends these demands for violence is complicit.

The advocates and survivors who’ve spent more than a decade fighting for funding for those with 9/11-related illnesses found an unlikely ally in their latest push to keep the World Trade Center Health Program financially viable.
