Anti-Semitic platforms do not represent Texas values.

Proud to support @PhilKingTX & @GoldmanCraig’s bill to fight anti-Semitism in our communities. #txlege pic.twitter.com/ZVri3z0Wis
Granted, the free-speech website allows antisemites to vent, but isn't that the idea of free speech?
And what are Texas values? Are they pro-semite, anti-semite, or free speech?
Allowing Americans the right to voice antisemitic sentiments also allows the right of pro-semites (like Gov. Abbott) to voice their sentiments.
Fortunately, there are many Jewish patriots who proudly and loudly defend the constitutional right to free speech, even when they find that speech offensive.
The truth is that Jews are neither demons nor demigods. They are people who need to be judged, like the rest of us, on individual merit; not on immutable characteristics such as race.

In a bizarre video posted to Twitter on Wednesday, the Republican governor of Texas Greg Abbott falsely claimed that free speech social media website Gab is “an anti-semitic platform” that has “no place in Texas,” drawing immediate mockery online for his inaccurate statements.
In the video, Abbott is seen sitting in his wheelchair while flanked by the American and Texan flags, with the Israeli flag taking a prominent role centered directly behind him.
