Stuff like this is why hate speech laws in Europe should be repealed in favor of American 1st Amendment style freedom of speech.
The existing hate speech laws were basically a response to Nazism, but nowadays they are being used to censor left-wing advocates who speak out against Israel's apartheid regime.
When you start to make ideological or symbolic exceptions to freedom of speech is when you start losing freedom of speech as a whole.
The main issue for me is this people aren't prosecuted for doing a pretty much the same thing.
That's just straight up selective enforcement
There's been no enforcement either way. Check the article.
Also, I can't believe I've never heard the term 'selective enforcement'. It's very useful.
