    The devolution of civility in this thread is exactly the reason we don’t allow blog posts and why there’s a rule stating “opinion” pieces may be removed.

    Article is light on details, does this include criticism of the state of Israel or of Judaism as a religion or is it only racist speech against people with Semitic ancestry?

    Why is there need of special law against anti semitism? anti semitism is NOT different from any other kind of bigotry.

    The way western countries engage in jewish exceptionalism like this is one of the major reason Israel has audacity to carry out its crimes, not to mention how these laws will be misused against pro palestine protestors.

    There are orthodox jews worldwide that speak out loudly against the actions of Israel. I wonder if these jews could get jailed for antisemitism. I’m sure it’s already possible in the UK.

      I mean he always did. Russians despite that they are shitty, they knew the truth. And before dumb people jump into conclusions, bad guy can tell the truth about other bad guys too. Though if we compare them, Israel is devilish psycho nazi country and Russia is closer to mafia

    I mean Zelensky is a big fan and supporter of Israel. And also a fascist dictator who has shut down news outlets, banned political parties, and cancelled elections in Ukraine. So this tracks. Although not sure what these means for all the out and proud Bandera-worshipping Nazis in the Ukrainian government and armed forces. They’re probably immune because they’re basically Zelensky’s secret police who, among other things, slaughter ethnic Russians in the Donbas, abduct men off the streets for forced conscription, and murder Ukrainian leftists and socialists who engage in activism against the Zelensky regime.

    Sometimes I think maybe Zelensky is not as wholesome of a human being as we were led to believe.
