Moynihan, and to a lesser extent Kmele, is so reflexively anti-Palestinian that he cannot imagine anyone connected to protests on their behalf isn't a ignorant, stupid, unwitting pawn of terrorists. And this shows in his lack of concern about Khalil's arrest: not so much that it isn't a violation of free speech as that he just doesn't care because of the target.
O didnтАЩt quite remember Moynihan that way. He definitely finds Khalil loathsome. But to be fair, I read up on the guy and his organization and theyтАЩre definitely a bunch of worthless shitbags.
I recalled him saying that despite that, he doesnтАЩt want to live in a country where speech is policed or political opinions are used to deny immigration or to deport anyone. Which is about where I stand on it as well.
Fifth Column, in general, is a decent source.
I like French. Ross Douthat is thoughtful.
Matt Welch seems principled.

But maybe IтАЩm misremembering.
