At least in Western Europe yes, noticing some patterns is forbidden by the law.

I have personally ancestors that died during the Shoah so I am especially sensible to the damage antisemitism can do but it’s getting downright absurd at this point

Edit: more precisely I do not believe that censoring such speeches can do any good. If the content of the speech is false there will be reactance and a Streisand like effect and if’s true it will only lead to more comptent and resentment.

Could you give me a pointer to the Dutch law regarding banning noticing some patterns? Thanks!

I was speaking from a French perspective and I broadly thought it was pretty similar in most of W.E. I do not know the legislation and the jurisprudence in the Dutch case. Mea culpa if am wrong outside of France
