Israel’s Efforts to Limit Use of Holocaust Terms Raise Free-Speech Questions

Israeli here. this law-suggestion was only preliminary approved. it still has a long way to go until it will be officially a law, and it probably won't make it. the media here criticized this move harshly once it has "discovered" about it. i say discovered because many law-suggestion are discussed by 4-5 parliament members who are present in the knesset in the preliminary stage, and really nobody hears about them or cares until the later stages...

"What I’m asking is, please put away this special situation that has to do with our history."

Bullshit, Nazi. You're demanding, and threatening people with imprisonment and $30,000 fines. And if they don't go to jail, or pay the fines? You're putting the entire government and it's armed forces behind that threat, and people may possibly die or be killed. This isn't about politeness, or decorum, it's about control. You want to control people, and have them kidnapped or worse if they refuse to submit to your will.

Think about that next time you say "there ought to be a law". It isn't the same as saying "people ought to do such and such". Because with the latter, you're just expressing a preference. With the former, you're attempting to stifle, herd and dominate your fellow human beings, and putting the threat of kidnapping and death by armed goons behind that attempt.

I found the movie "1/3 of the holocaust" to be compelling, might be illegal to watch in your country.
