Up front, cancel culture is revolting. I’m with you there. However...

One, Hamas is a prescribed terror group & clearly describes itself as one (for instance, saying that there will be more & more 10.7s. A clear terrorist act).

Two, chanting ‘death to the Jews’ or its equivalent (for instance, calling for an intifada).

Three, being a foreign student (and I’ve been one before) requires one to behave with respect to one’s host, tempering one’s own natural opinions & feelings. In fact, it is usually in one’s contract that one can be deported for any act contrary to the mores & laws of one’s host nation. Foreign students who misbehave, threaten mayhem or become politically involved in the affairs of the host nation SHOULD be deported. They have come to learn from their host nation &, if allowed, to respectfully share theirs. They are not there to be political activists. It’s in the word; they are students. The Latin origin of the word being ‘dedicate oneself to study’.
