Let's stick to what the source material tells us. Jonathan Tweet (talk) 22:59, 16 October 2023 (UTC)


 * NY post isn't a reliable source either. I've seen the video, and I can see this being a controversy of note, but we're going to need reliable sourcing and NPOV writing. HeroofTime55 (talk) 23:20, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
 * The New York Post has shown itself, on matters of national interest at least, to be a far more reliable source than the Gray Lady down the road.
 * Time after time, people pooh-pooh the Post's reporting and laud the NYT's partisan takes.
 * Then, two years later, the NYT runs a piece saying, 'well, it turns out this is how it really was, not how we initially reported and opined on it.' 50.54.71.191 (talk) 14:18, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I attended the speech in person, and believe NY Post (along with the person who originally filmed the clip) have taken it out of context maliciously. Rickford spoke for upwards of 20 minutes and explicitly condemned violence against civilians, though to my knowledge no one recorded the speech in full. The current language should be removed. 4stringfender (talk) 01:54, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
 * If he condemned violence, and then followed up with "I am exhilarated by what Hamas did" Then his condemnation is more worthless than he is.there is jo need to see a full recording, what was recorded tells the world all it needs to know. 2A0D:6FC7:55C:92B1:978:5634:1232:5476 (talk) 09:13, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

This article is clearly biased and takes his words out of context. He was excited and exhilarated by the acts of resistance of palestinians breaking down a harmful and communcally destructive border wall, not referring to hamas’ wrongdoing 147.129.22.205 (talk) 17:18, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
