Last week, Israeli President Reuven Rivlin described attacks by “a bloodthirsty Arab mob” in the mixed Jewish-Arab city of Lod as a “pogrom.” A Jewish vigilante in Lod told The Washington Post that he was defending its Jewish residents “from a pogrom.”

United States, 1919) that limits free speech to exclude harmful expressions such as, most famously, falsely yelling “fire!” in a crowded theater.
