From the river to the sea...

...Palestine will be free?

Even if you think it means to evict/kill all Jews in the land (which many people don't mean when they say it), banning free speech threatens democracy itself, if people can be restricted from criticising unjust governments or policies.

Banning genocide advocacy, like suggesting people in a place should be killed because they are Jewish, really does not threaten democracy. Nor do anti-racism laws in general (the problem is that hate laws are being abused to include states like the Zionist Regime).

And of course, as we both know, this is just a hypothetical: the chant obviously isn't anti-Jewish.

Banning genocide advocacy … really does not threaten democracy

You're absolutely right.

Unfortunately this law does the exact opposite. It bans advocacy against genocide.
