Claim that antiphilosemitism is illegal in the UK circulates
Original: Antiphilosemitism is illegal in the UK https:// lemmy.ml/post/54349820
A claim is circulating that 'antiphilosemitism' — opposition to philosemitism, or pro-Jewish sentiment — is illegal in the United Kingdom. There is no such law; UK legislation targets antisemitism and other forms of religious and racial hatred, not criticism of philosemitism. The phrase appears to be a play on 'antisemitism' and is being shared and discussed as a pointed or ironic remark about UK hate-speech rules.
Why now: The paradoxical phrasing is being shared as ironic commentary on UK hate-speech legislation and debates over antisemitism.
