Free speech includes everything.
Everyone seems to be really hung up with Holocaust here even though this law proposition will include ALL such major crimes against humanity.
Some of you might look at a headline like this and think ‘that’s a weird thing to do in this day and age’, but some people need the guidance. My wife’s cousin, a grown ass man, hangs Nazi flags in his living space unironically. Her history teacher in school thought that the Germans and Finns were a do-no-wrong dream team in WWII. Obviously that doesn’t and shouldn’t reflect on the average Finn, but it makes me happier that the government, even our current one and with our current relationship with Russia, finds that shit intolerable.
Where to draw the line on denial? Is saying that there was 600 000 victims instead of 6 000 000 victims denial?
Trivialising the Holocaust by denying it is antisemitic and should be treated as a serious hate crime.
What also trivialises the Holocaust is falsely equating any criticism of the genocide in Gaza by Israel with antisemitism. Defenders of Israel are no different to Holocaust deniers in that regard.
