This controversy has been a bit unique in that people are being canceled in both directions. In a way it's actually a good thing, since it shows that debate and democracy are at least alive. You could say we shouldn't cancel people at all, but then I don't really want the guy with a swastika face tattoo being in charge of anything important. Maybe there needs to be some kind of canceling rules, haha?

FYI, the blog post starts with accusations of "equating Zionism with the genocide of Palestinians" and "using the 'from the river to the sea' chant", which are not universally agreed to be antisemitic at all, even if you don't agree with them.
