You should listen to his campaign speech in Dearborn, and later he went to a conference and basically said that the palestinians deserve to be exterminated because Arafat left the Camp David talks.

Over the last year many US academics and students have been abused because they openly dissent with or protest against the warlords in charge.

And basically said that the palestinians deserve to be exterminated

By "basically said" you mean that this is your hyperbolic/moralistic interpretation of what he said.

But not what he actually said.

“All [young people in America] know that a lot more Palestinians have been killed than Israelis. And I tell them what Arafat walked away from".

Extremely callous and nasty.

But not "Palestinians deserve to be exterminated".

That's just a weird, semantic distortion.
