I wouldn't like to stand with either party. However, if I were required to make a choice, I would stand with those who support the rights of the anti-Semites to say what they want to say, AND the rights of the Semites to say what they want to say. By attempting to censor the idea, you will not cause the idea to vanish. In fact, you will probably make it stronger. Instead of trying to censor it, why not shine some light on it and let people see it for what it really is?
