This will not hold up in court. Genocide denial is the only thing the supreme court allowed to be forbidden to say. And they had to use a lot of legal creativity. That argument howeve3 will not fly in regards to Israel.

But what do we expect of this government. They really are just that incompetent

Germany and learning the wrong lesson from history...

Even Israel's critics (necessarily) acknowledge its existence. Are people really pretending there's no Israel now? Just uninhabited desert or sea? Or a Palestinian wonderland?

Not pretending it isn't, but saying it shouldn't. Israel is a theocratic apartheid state. They deserve every bit of opposition
