I was referring to the substack article from FAIR about canceling people for conmemning Israel/being pro-Palestine. My original comment was referring to sticking to principals/morals even when someone is saying something you believe to be very wrong. Using violence/aggression to silence opinions you tends to worsen the situation, makes people arguing for peace/dialogue into hypocrits, and makes the "sane" group into a villain. That's what I was trying to get at; I was pleased that FAIR wasn't being hypocritical and was sticking to its principals, even in a terrible situation.
