Society declaring what I can or can’t say is a slippery slope. I’d have to say France is wrong in giving semites a privileged status. Anti-semitic statements are fair game as long as the person making those statements does not call for violence against the people. A line is drawn at threatening harm to someone and that’s it.

I’m not a holocaust denier (they say it happened I don’t have a reason to doubt it). That said, I support the right of a person to deny holocaust in public space. Getting arrested for making jokes about jews, muslims, christians, satanists, etc is atrocious. No one is forcing you to listen to those jokes. Step away, change the channel, don’t read the offensive book.

I’m not going to stand behind a law just because it’s practiced by a Western nation. The best way to combat bad ideas is by educating people about good ones, teaching them how to think for themselves not banning people from expressing those bad ideas.

They say that freedom is not a right but a privilege, the population misused the freedoms and lost some of them as we are constantly losing ours here.
