From this garbage article

The chanting, I think, calling for intifada, global revolution, [is] very disturbing,” Magill said during questioning. “I believe at minimum that is hateful speech that has been and should be condemned.

Intifada means "resistance." Every occupied people has a right to resist. Except, apparently, Palestinians.

... grilled Gay on Harvard’s Middle East Studies courses, which she claimed included “false accusations that Israel is a racist, settler colonialist, apartheid state

Well, it is. No amount of trying to conflate support for human rights with antisemitism is going to change that.

If this is what they mean by "hate" nobody should be surprised that lots of people aren't buying it.
