>Should a visitor to a country enjoy the right to explicitly espouse opposition to that country without any negative consequence?

What I imagine is the biggest, most obvious crack in this argument, is that "the country" includes people who support every side of most issues, especially the question of how many Palestinians Israel will be allowed to kill before they're made to stop it. Arresting tourists that espouse a particular view represents once force within the US dominating another within the US.

It’s not a crack in the argument. I literally reference similar fact in the same comment, if you read to the end.

It’s evidence that yes, indeed, citizens and non-citizens do not share the same rights. There is a long history to back this up.
