I don't know why you bother to repeat, "First amendment isn't absolute", since I both acknowledge that and already said this isn't a First Amendment issue. But until a student explicitly voices racist or antisemitic views, guilt by association with pro-Palestinian antisemites should in no way be cause for ejection from a private school that values the free speech of students.
I think that even a lot of the strongly pro-Israeli people here on DU, myself among them, greatly dislike Netanyahu and his nasty right-wing coalition. Although the lion's share of the blame belongs to Hamas here, Netanyahu made a bad situation worse.
