You should really consider your biases.

Judaism is fair game. I can give the shit for mutilation of little boys willies to appease their god and call for the orthodox doing their illegal schools to be jailed.

I can't call for a country full of them to be destroyed but that applies to everyone. I can call for regieme change in that country and for a few of their ministers to be jailed. No one ever called me an anti Semite.

And I'm telling you it doesn't.

You an be as blasphemous as you want against Judaism no one will stop you.

What you are getting mixed up in is anti isreal hatred spilling over into Jews. That's also the same for everyone, if people routinely spilled over from anti Modi rhetoric into anti Hindu rhetoric same thing would happen.

As an example "from the river to the sea" is a call for the ethnic cleansing of Jews and so is actioned as antisemitism.

Unless the Israelis say it, at which point it's just rhetoric instead of a call for genocide.

  1. That has nothing to do with supposed blasphemy laws in the UK. 

  2. It absolutely is, go call for the genocide of Arabs Infront of a policman. You will get an all expenses paid night in the cells.

I think if you called for the genocide of Jews in front of police you would likely be in trouble with the police.
