There's a good chance you'd be contacted by the police for saying it in the UK.

Someone faced criminal charges for teaching a pug to do a Nazi salute, I can definitely see the British doing this.

This isn't the first time I've had to debunk this and unfortunately probably won't be the last.

This case had nothing to do with the pug or the salute, he faced charges because he made a video where he repeatedly said "g*s the Jews" which is an explicit call to racial violence.

And while we might be able to look at that specific case and agree that it wasn't meant seriously, as soon as you set that president any hate group will start spouting genuine calls to violence and just stick a funny dog video with it and make the argument it's just a joke too. So we either set strict standard that makes it very hard to get away with actual calls for a second holocaust, but catches one guy just making s joke as well, or we make it so the one guy making a joke is fine, but let's Nazis call for the death of undesirables without consequence.

Well said. I never saw it that way before.

In the interests of being specific, that was Scotland, which operates a separate legal system from England and Wales.

''Down to the newest baby''? That's the most inflammatory statement I've ever heard. Is there anything more evill?

Seriously. I really don't get the kind of mental contortion necessary to actually believe the kind of nonsense she is conveying.

Not in the eu except if youre in germany. I live in sweden and while the politicians dont support palestine, on the streets theres huge support.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Czech Republic is somehow pro-Israel too. Even intellectuals. If you go protest for Gaza you'll be quite alone.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

Huh thats sad, hungary is also pro-israel but thats a given because its a piece of shit country.

[–] Ulminpoika@feddit.org 5 points 1 week ago

Based on what law in Germany do you think you would be arrested?

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is pretty bad, but you wouldn't be arrested for saying it in either Australia or NZ.

The truth is bad enough, no need to make shit up.

August 28, 2024 - Acclaimed Journalist Charged With ‘Anti-Semitism’

For retweeting two tweets on X critical of Israel, famed Australian journalist Mary Kostakidis is facing charges of allegedly violating the country’s Racial Discrimination Act.

These are tweets not calling for the murder of Israeli babies like Zionists constantly do, but for the simple right of Palestinians to their colonized land.

Oh yeah I believe they use babies as meat shields and toss them around as decoys. Yep, that sounds like what people do during war, Abby.
