Not specifically President Gay, so this is somewhat off-topic, but:
I suspect that an awful lot of those people "calling for genocide of Jews" are also people who, a year or so ago, were saying that "speech is violence".
Back to on topic:
Personally, I think that if you're going to ask universities to allow speech that they don't agree with when it's conservatives, then you have to ask them to allow speech that they don't agree with when it's anti-Israel. Sauce for the goose, and all that. So I personally don't have a problem with President Gay's words in this case.
I hear things about Harvard allowing a history of intimidation against Jews, though, and while she's saying reasonable things here, I'm not sure that the reality on the ground matches her words. But I'm not at Harvard, nor watching it closely, so that could be an inaccurate summary of events.
