The “set up” is that students were NOT calling for genocide, and she was answering in regards to what was actually said (which, again, was not a call for genocide). She was saying that in the context of a peace rally, wanting Palestinians to be free is a call for equality and not the same as a call to eliminate all Jewish people – though if you said the same thing while firing rockets from Gaza, it would be a call to violence (but then it would not be in English). And they were all completely incompetent and making that distinction for the cameras.
Why is the leader of a university accountable to congress? What business does congress have fucking around about this shit instead of doing the work of serving the citizenry of the nation. Fuck this culture war bullshit. That the whole country just accepts this nonsense is why there’s no longer any accountability to the public.
This all happened before Israel even struck back after October 7.

According to Gay, students calling for the genocide of Jews can be tolerated as long as those students don’t act on it.
She could have simply said “yes, calling for genocide is wrong”.
Where is the “set up”? Asking her to be accountable to Congress?
