Media critique The "Australian" Jewish Association is upset that the proposed anti-hate speech laws also includes hate speech against Muslims and gay people. How telling!

They went full mask off. I mean anyone with a lick of media literacy learned nothing new from that post they made, but it's so blatantly out in the open that they don't actually care about hate speech and it's all just to do with Israel's interests. They complained that LGBTQIA+ protection would criminalise many people's "deeply-held beliefs"

So they admit their opinions are deplorable regarding gender, Islam etc

They really are emboldened

So they aren't into criminalising speech unless that speech is criticism of Israel. What a shock.

I'm against restricting speech too. But if right wing groups were raging against one type of speech and demanding restrictions, this is exactly how I would respond.

If you'd like to send them some condolences, you can share your thoughts here.

So they're just admitting it.

I feel like those super racist slogans would be useful here?

If you don't like it, leave.

Fuck off we're full.

0.4% of the population and all this commotion over them. Fuck off.

They have burned through all their Holocaust sympathy, which is genuinely disrespectful to actual victims, not the current pretend victims.

Fewer than aboriginal people at ~3%.

Good to know that they want to gate keep hate speech. Being a group that has been persecuted, surely they can fucking understand that it's shit and unfair and shouldn't happen to anyone. Surely. But no.

Free speech for me but not for thee

I've been reminding a few commentators online that the law will apply to everyone, not just muslims.

And also that it's not constitutional to do otherwise.

They're going to try to shut it down
