They're doing both. They are also making massive posters with photos, names and addresses of student critics of Israel with captions like "Harvard's Leading Anti-semites," putting them on trucks and driving around town. Cowardly and despicable, using money to suppress free speech and terrorize opponents.Without wishing to condone this behaviour at all, I think there is a fairly significant difference between "I won't donate any more money to you if you do this thing" and "I'm going to make it illegal to do this thing."
We're discussing how criticism of Israel's oppressive policies and actions is being deliberately and systematically suppressed in the West.What has any of this got to do with the situation in the west bank?
I wonder where they got that idea from? I'm not usually one for making crass comparisons between zionism and a particular aspect of German history... but when my youngest son's grandfather got sent to Buchenwald after Kristallnacht, his great-grandfather's shop got smashed up as well, and he too was forced to pay the nazis for all damage caused.as if thats not bad enough:With all eyes on Gaza, Israel steps up demolitions of Palestinian homes
‘We can’t stand this suffering for long,’ Palestinian activists in East Jerusalem warn.www.aljazeera.com
Israeli authorities typically require Palestinian residents to pay for the bulldozing of their homes as well as the salaries of police officers who are deployed to evict residents and secure the premises. Abu Diab expects the total bill to amount to $20,000 or $30,000.
There is ongoing settler violence in the West bank protected of course by the IDF. It all started because of this:
Since then the settlers have run riot burning Palestinian home is a number of villages and randomly shooting at people:

According to the human rights group Yesh Din, Israeli settlers attacked 11 Palestinian villages and towns on Saturday alone. They threw stones, set fire to more than 100 vehicles, damaged scores of homes and businesses, and slaughtered hundreds of livestock. In the village of Beitin, near Ramallah, settlers shot dead 17-year-old Omar Hamed. In Al-Mughayyir, slightly further north, 25-year-old Jihad Abu Aliya was killed in circumstances that are still somewhat unclear: settlers were attacking the village at the time, but the Israeli army stated that Abu Aliya was killed by their fire. Another incident captured on a security camera shows Israeli soldiers standing guard while settlers set fire to a car in the town of Deir Dibwan, also near Ramallah.
The pogroms continued into Monday, when Israeli settlers shot dead two Palestinian shepherds — Abdelrahman Bani Fadel, 30, and Mohammed Ashraf Bani Jama, 21 — on land belonging to the community of Khirbet al-Tawil, east of the town of Aqraba near Nablus.
In his former office, settlers set alight many books, including religious books and poetry. “This is my archive,” he lamented. “Who burns books?
I understand Hebrew, I heard them telling each other to burn down the gray house [the main building where Dawabsheh’s family was hiding]. I didn’t have time to be afraid for myself, I was afraid for my wife and children.”
