an example of constitutional
limits, Lasson writes that
hate-mongers must be made
"accountable when they
cause harm ... Why
shouldn't a racial, religious
or ethnic group that has
been deliberately defamed"
be able to sue for damages?
"It is constitutional folly
at one and the same time to
prohibit pornography while
protecting Nazi punks," says
Lasson.

Lee Bollinger:
Laws won't work.
Milton ("the truth will
always win"), 19th century
philosopher John Stuart
Mill ("unpopular ideas may
be true"), and the early 20th
century Supreme Court
Justice Oliver Wendell
Holmes Jr. ("the best test of
truth is the power of the
thought to get itself accepted
in the competition of the
market").
We cannot deny protec-

Bollinger, "without creating
an acceptable risk that op-
ponents of good speech (i.e.,
our speech) will use this
form of censorship later as a
precedent to get their own
way."

One can no longer speak
out freely on Israel without
"the risk of incurring ven-
omous wrath and threats,
both veiled and unveiled, to
one's very livelihood," says
David Biale.
Writing in Tikkun maga-
zine, Biale, a professor of
Jewish history at the
Graduate Theological Union
in Berkeley, Ca., is convinc-
ed that Jewish life today, in
Israel and the worldwide
Jewish community, is
"mortally threatened" by
Israel's continued occupa-
tion of the West Bank.
The occupation, he says, is
attacking "the cohesiveness
of the Jewish people." ❑
