“[I]ts work seeks to counter efforts statewide and nationally to stifle free speech including criticism of the State of Israel.”
Oh, I’ll bet it does! It’s doing such a bang-up job of it that “criticism of the State of Israel” has never been more hateful and virulent. As a free speech absolutist, no argument from me: that’s your right. But please, I beg of you, no playing the victim. You won the propaganda war: you fooled the foolish, well done. Now seize your spoils and be on your way.
