Hitler and
18C
What say ye, Michael Sexton if
Frederick Tobin insisted that Hitler did not kill enough of my brethren? Surely
the lamentable T entity has espoused similar or derivated
obscenities?
Why do you guys regard freedom of
speech as a unilateral right no matter how offensive?
I SAY IT IS A
RESPONSIBILITY!
Note further - amazingly there are
modifiers in 18C - see below ex your article – that essentially emasculates
it.
So why bother?
Arguably forcing Jews to mega –
expensive legal sanction is plainly unfair for many reasons: no time to
elucidate in this simple item.
There are other areas that a keen
legal mind can espouse. Try to appreciate that a broad range of comments could
indeed be regarded as ‘’hatred on the grounds of race /
offence.’’
It indeed begs the obvious question
– what about the above?
Is it exceptional form of offence a
la 18C? Is it likely to lead to someone actuating the idea that Jews can be
attacked or worse? Or merely suggesting so that others merely once removed from
the hypothetical obscenity would act on it?
Far fetched?
NO!
If not – why not? If yes – what is
the point of it?
And what about the quote from the
Koran about killing Jews? About trees and rocks and: ‘’There is a Jew hiding behind me; so
kill him.'’’

‘’If it be
thought necessary to outlaw incitements to “hatred” that somehow fall short of
the urging of force or violence, historically a rare form of
publication in our society, it would be possible to include the
kind of provision present, for example, in the NSW Anti-Discrimination
Act that makes the incitement of hatred on the grounds of race
an offence. This provision refers to threatening
physical harm and inciting others to threaten harm, but it is not limited to
these forms of conduct. There is always a danger, however, that, in the absence
of incitements to violence, these kinds of provisions will be used to stifle
publications that are merely offensive.’’
