There is a difference in a foreign national engaging in political speech and a citizen. If anything allowing foreign nationals to adjust political speech here while supporting violence or terrorism would be inappropriate and unwise. After all, it's easy for a foreign power to send radicalizers to a foreign country to influence or topple them. Well trodeen history there. Sending radical students is much more effective than a few thousand Twitter bots.

respecting the rights of others to hold opinions that differ from your own is always appropriate and wise in the united states.

Of course, and as it stands foreign nationals on Visa's in the US don't have the same rights as citizens. Not that they shouldn't have some degree of free speech, but they can also be scrutinized and deported for advocating for violence and terrorism.

People pick sides in conflicts that they aren't participating in almost like they're watching sports, they root for underdogs or their home team - it's usually a hot take based on incorrect information. if they pick the "wrong side" and someone in power disagrees with them - they can suggest they support the worst thing that group ever said to justify censoring them by deportation. See the big gap in reasoning there? It's disingenuous since by that logic supporting any side in any war is advocating violence and terrorism, but only the "wrong side" will be scrutinized.

No I’m not, but in case you missed the news several of the pro-Palestinian protests were violent or openly called for violence. Similarly with the posts in question.

Likewise for several of the pro-israeli protests.
