Excellent! This is the kind of thing we need more off. Thumbs up for culture jammers!
Well of course its hate speech. This is particularly disturbing in the US - that historically called its own original people “savages,” and used their “savage” state to excuse stealing all of their land and attempting to wipe them out. Thanks for posting the link to the mother jones article.
The Zionists have successfully used the holocaust to create genocide against Palestinians. fact

USING THE CONCEPT OF FREE SPEECH TO TAKE THE WORK OUT OF DETERMINING RIGHT FROM WRONG IS BULLSHIT REASONING, DUDE
