It's not just the West, it's any functioning democracy. In India, for example, Islamist and leftist calls to eradicate Hinduism and Brahmins, and separatist calls to divide India up into bits, denigration of the Indian government and army as genocidal and fascist, are commonplace.
Using speech to incite violence is clearly not protected, yet it has been in the case of calling From the river to the Sea, and Free Palestine, and Globalize the intifada. But when the people in power are not on our side, or your side, it is way too easy for them to ban speech they disagree with—as they did during Covid, as they do in Arab countries, as they are doing in Britain and Germany now. We must fight the lies with truth. Shutting down speech, labeling and banning speech we don’t like as “hate speech”—even if it is hateful, is wrong. The ADL labeling Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA a “right wing extremist group” is slanderous and harms Jews—as we are all lumped under the ADL umbrella. The ADL has been smearing people who point out some basic tenets of Islam as Islamophobes, or people who question transing children as Transphobes, not to mention extorting people, or trying to extort people like Kyrie Irving. This backfires and harms us.
Absolutely right.......Free speech is undoubtedly wonderful/Democratic, but unfortunately we're exposed to lots of HATE speech " from the river to the sea ", " by all means necessary " " globalized the intifada ", " genocide ", etc. And like you brilliantly stated, will definitely will incite HATE against Israel and Jews......and now, we can the results, antisemitism all over the world !!!!!.....
What we have seen is rhetoric that has led to assaults on Jews and their institutions.The DOJ’s lawsuit that was commenced today is a very important response that Biden refused to authorize
