I repeat, there are recordings of congressmen openly saying this is why it needs to be banned and whipping votes on that basis. It’s not a theory. I remember a specific quote “we’re missing it” i.e. congress was not understanding where the pro-Palestinian sentiment was coming from.
I hear what you're saying, but I still don't think that's the real reason. Maybe that's a reason that they were told by someone else, and now it has become their reason, but I don't think it is the most important reason this is going on in the first place. I think it's more about having control over the content Americans see, and/or not letting adversarial countries have similar control over Americans.
