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
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.
