Is Antisemitism Free Speech or Hate Speech? | HonestReporting

Is antisemitism free speech? I have heard antisemitism justified as “freedom of speech” more times than I can count.
Whether it’s an antisemitic cartoon in the New York Times, the hateful rhetoric of BDS (the movement to bring boycotts, divestment and sanctions against Israel), left wing  Israel-bashing that crosses the line into Jew-bashing, or right wing neo-Nazism: we hear this same, tired justification.
