Hate speech is a political propaganda trick

It has long been the practice of Leftists to use the dodgy tactic of labeling their political opponents’ opinions as “hate speech” — and now, as many Leftists campaign for Palestine and against Israel, they find themselves on the receiving end of this sleazy tactic. How ironic. Talk about chickens coming home to roost.

In the political sphere, there is no such thing as “hate speech”, there is only speech — it does not matter what motivates your political speech, it is free speech, and therefore it must be protected.

Labelling opposing political points of view as “hate speech” is a form of gaslighting. The advocates of a particular point of view may strenuously and truthfully deny that they are motivated by hate, but that doesn’t matter — because, when slimy politics come into play, the truth becomes irrelevant; instead, political activists will be judged by the untrustworthy mainstream media and turned into criminals by laws passed by immoral dodgy politicians, who then use the police and the court system for political purposes, to achieve their personal political aims.

Speaking of gaslighting, there are some pro-Israel advocates who are claiming that the phrase “From the River to the Sea” is a call for the genocide of the Jews in Israel — but that is simply a load of nonsense; the claim that pro-Palestinians are using that slogan to call for genocide either arises out of idiotic ignorance or from malicious intent. The phrase “From the River to the Sea” is simply a call for the Palestinians to have control over that land area.

However, this is what the supporters of the “hate speech” tactic commonly do — they extrapolate, infer, and “interpret” what their political opponents are saying from some perfectly innocent or innocuous statements, and then they deem those statements as “hate”. It is very politically manipulative to do such a thing, but when these dodgy opponents of free speech have influence with politicians and the mainstream media, then those manipulations can become the basis for laws, and then serve as the basis for the jailing of political dissidenters.

The “hate speech” narrative is a completely dodgy political tactic, which has been normalised by the Left, permeated into labor and so-called conservative (“labor-lite”) politics, and now has legislative effect.

It is incredible that the phrase “From the River to the Sea” has been criminalised in Australia — this is nuts! The phrase is simply a call for Palestinian control over that land area, just as various pro-Israel advocates have called for Israel to have control over that area — are those Israelis and their supporters also to be deemed as calling for genocide? If the pro-Palestinian side is to be prosecuted under dodgy “hate speech” laws, then the pro-Israeli side should be prosecuted too — or, here’s a radical thought, maybe both sides should be allowed to have freedom of speech.

If the advocates of a Greater Israel want to remove all non-Jewish Palestinians from that land area, or if the advocates of a Greater Palestine want to remove all Jewish Israelis from that land area, then both sides have the right to say so — and neither idea is “hate speech”. Not wanting to have someone in your home, or on your land, does not mean that you hate them, it just means that you don’t want them there. People may be adversely affected by such a policy, and others may not like it being said, but it is not “hate speech”.

The whole “hate speech” trope is a political propaganda trick, a con job, an authoritarian tactic against free speech.

Don’t fall for the dodgy political shenanigans of political authoritarians who speak with forked tongues; they are slimy snakes who manipulate the masses for their own evil ends.
