The Limits of Freedom of Expression
Question
What does the Rabbi think about the arrest of the professor who denied the events of October 7? Is freedom of expression in a democracy supposed to include that kind of statement?
Answer
I didn’t hear what she said. But denying any facts is certainly legitimate, even if it is a lie. Only something that creates an imminent danger is grounds for silencing speech.
