49. In this case, you are the one suppressing free speech
You appear to have completely misunderstood my point so I will attempt to clarify.

I support free speech. I think anyone who wants to criticize Israel has the right to do so. I also think anyone who wants to point out what they perceive to be an anti-semitic remark is free to do so as well.

You, apparently, do not believe that people have that right, and, thus, appear to be supporting the suppression of free speech.

My position is the opposite. If I make a comment that someone perceives as being anti-semitic or anti-anything, I believe they have the right to call me out on it, and I have the right to explain why I think they are full of it.
