      It is. But that won’t stop charges, fines, and jail for hundreds or thousands until someone rich enough to take it to the right court gets charged.

        Nah, I doubt it will pass the senate and even if it does, hate speech is legal in the United States so if they are equating critiquing Israeli government with kkk and nazi propaganda I’m ok with that I guess.

          Legal and constitutional are different things. Hate speech is, in fact, illegal in many places. But the test that would apply for constitutional muster seems to be clear and present danger. Criticizing a government would not likely clear that bar.

      The constitution is toilet paper for the ruling class.

      They’ll do whatever they want, whenever they want.
