Nah this entire thread is a perfect illustration why US First Amendment standards for free speech are (roughly) good and should be adopted in all countries. This is where it ends when you start to think it’s ok to criminalize “hate speech” or “terrorist propaganda” or “approval of criminal acts”.

Please read the post. Those laws are in place to stop neonazis and other idiots from making the holocaust seem like it wasn’t as terrible as it was.

These laws We are made to conflate anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism. Because Germany is weaponizing their previous genocide to justify their current one.

The best way to prevent another Holocaust is to make it illegal for anyone to ever warn that anything happening is similar to the Holocaust or to the Nazis and should be stopped before it goes further. Brilliant. Genius.

Bullshit. It’s in place to push the rethoric that without Israel the jews would get genocided and that their actions was self defence
