If that is your logic, then Genocide is definitely baked into Christianity (do you know the number of Genocides perpetrated by Christians throughout history).
If that is your logic, then Genocide is baked into Buddhism (Rohingya Genocide).
Similarly, according to YOUR logic, Genocide is baked into EVERY religion.
Learn to differentiate between Jews, Judaism, and Zionism.
Caitlin, why are so many Nazi anti-semites trolling your article today? All these Nazi sympathesizers are using the Gaza genocide and the tragedy of the Palestinians to espouse their Nazism and hatred.
Free speech is an illusion - a made up concept - and you've fallen for it (as have many). Wait till reality sets in, and then you'll realize how 'free' your right to speech is.
Have you lived in China, Russia, Nazi Germany, or Israel? Try your free speech ideology there and see how far it gets you.
In none of those countries I have lived. . However, long time ago, I grew up in a country where free speech could get one & one’s family jailed or killed.
Chuck it up to ‘destiny’ lol. By the way, you can include Bolshevik Soviet Union under Stalin in your list of countries. .The first govt , the Bolshevik govt. there were over 80% jews. Way worse than Germany in the 1940s.
I have 0 problem with, for example, someone saying they don’t believe, in the ‘6 million number’. I believe they have a right to say it. That’s real free speech to me.
I care more about being a moral human being that does not intentionally harm others. 'Free speech' is important, but not high on my list of priorities. I prefer for people to have their basic needs met - food, shelter, medical care, education, etc.
Free speech is useless (and a luxury) if those basic needs above are not met. And what would you know, America has many of these problems - homelessness, poverty, hungry children going to bed every night, lack of adequate education and social services, lack of adequate health care, and more. In this environment, I care LESS about 'free speech' and such ideals than I do about the NEEDS of the people.
I never suggested that free speech was above the basic needs. For example above free speech , to me, is food, medicine, hospitals & housing for Palestinians. Of course, their right to their land is included.
From your comments, you seem to be MORE interested in 'free speech' and 'free speech absolutism' than higher priority considerations.
Free Speech is a complicated and nuanced issue - and it would take many books (and many books have been written on it) to really see it from multiple perspectives and applied in different contexts.

It’s free speech. Either we are for it or not.
