Free speech
It's amazing how people never learn from the mistakes of the past. Haaretz today reports how Elisheva Federman has been charged with racism for statements she has made to the media. She's not charged with hurting anyone, just is making statements the government of the state of Israel disagrees with.
Meanwhile Jonathan Rosenblum just reported how far left Meretz party leader Chaim Maron has introduced a bill to the Israeli Knesset to send anyone to jail for the "crime" of inducing a minor to become religous. Inducing a child to become not religious would remail legal in Israel. As would inducing a child to become anti Zionist and hate the country s/he lives in. Activists at the upcoming gay pride parade will be free to induce minors to enter the homosexual lifestyle would also be unaffected by any restrictions on their freedom of speech. Only those who try and teach children about Judaism would lose their freedom and be jailed.
Free speach for me and not for thee is the mantra of the Jewish far left in Israel. What they forget is that while they hold the power to jail their opponents today, the reigns of power often change. They won't be happy when a future Knesset decides that it is their views that are outside the relm of legitimacy and bans their right to preach their views in public.
Free speech needs to be for everyone, even those you disagree with.

For god's sake, can you actually hear yourself? Do you even know what Zionism is? It's you who are the terrorists, and it's you who are the perverts!

Two points here.
Notice how the anti semite doesn't even have the guts to admit who s/he is.
2 this has nothing to do with zionism. It's about free speech and the right of people to disagree with the government. But this bigot just sees a reason to bash Jews.
