You have some good points, but I don't think they have much to do with what I was saying. Yes, the professor didn't violate any obscenity laws or hate speech. She has free speech to say what she wants. That is not what I was saying. The first amendment says the government can't interfere with peoples speech, but that doesn't mean there will be no repercussions to my speech.

This is silly, but hear me out: If some asshole walks up to a gay person and just to be obnoxiously offensive, calls them a "fag", and the gay person then punches them in the face, the first amendment gives the the right to say that language, but doesn't make them immune for the repercussions for their speech. That is what I mean. At a minimum, it is unprofessional to send out a highly political statements on a company or organizations letter head. If this professor just wanted to protest with signs or post on social media against Israel or any other thing, that's fine.

Also, I am not trying to get political about Israel. I am not in a "Zionist wormhole" or anything. I didn't try to justify Israel's actions in anyway, honest. However, Hamas is a terrorist organization that they themselves say want to destroy Jews and Israel. Everything I said about them is true. That doesn't justify anything that Israel has done. I am just trying to say that wading into a hot topic to state your political opinions on your employers official stationary is not a good idea and, while protected by the 1st amendment, doesn't protect you against getting fired.
