Hmm. It seems to me that laws and authority go hand in hand. You can't have a law against hate speech unless someone has the authority to define hate speech. Isn't that what judges do for all laws?

Here in the Canada's hate speech against Russia and Russians is broadcast live on CBC. I don't have a list, but IIRC every single prosecution has been for people who criticised "Jews", or who had engaged in holocaust denial.
The holocaust was 11 to 17 million people - 6 million of whom were indeed Jews. It's the people who elide all those victims who are engaged in holocaust denial, but tell that to know nothing Trudeau.
When they passed hate speech laws I thought (fascetiously) now the Muslims will be protected. Not.
For a while in 27 states you had to sign away your right of political free speech (no BDS supporting) to get any money from said state. Even if you were teaching English, digging a ditch, anything. That's when I knew the Constitution didn't mean a thing. Abby Martin challenged it and won. But it is rising from the dead in a mutated form.
Then there's Riyoko Takagi. Possibly the best jazz pianist in the world and a swimsuit model who loves to show off her rack. She's 38 years old but appears to be 26. I got used to it.
Abby was on TeleSur until they ran out of money. She still puts out a little bit. Maybe she's concentrating on her psychedelic art these days.
Except that in many if not most cases, fear leads to hate, so they're quite closely related and informally, though not literally, Islamophobia can be seen as synonymous to anti-Muslim or similar construction.

I was really counting on Nina Jankowicz to sort all that out for us.............
Where is the Ministry of Truth when you need it?
Exactly.
My "Reported" comment was satirical.

I used to see Abby, who is great, all over the place, but not anymore. I don't know why.
Back in the early days I almost did not take Abby seriously as she is so pretty. But hey, she's got the chops. A super model with a brain and heart!
Who knew that was possible? ;)

Islamophobia is the FEAR of Muslims.
Antisemitism is the HATE of Jews.
Hmmm
