1) Pro-Palestine speech is under attack. If tenured profs are losing jobs for it imagine how little freedom most have. 2) The way this prof is characterizing her speech is misleading. Given that the vast majority of US Jews are Zionists, this clearly goes beyond "criticizing a foreign government."

This doesn't mean she deserved to lose her job, of course. But it is interesting to see her trying to retroactively add some nuance.
