False, I said I wouldn't be stoking hatred *in* Jews.
> Your primary argument to allow the statement to have immunity ... is that readers such as Jews could have hate induced in them toward the poster of the anti-Semitic statement.
It wasn't immune to sanctioning. It was sanctioned indirectly.
> you have not explained further your reasoning as to what you base your claim that if you did sanction the statement Jews could have hate induced to the poster of the anti-Semitic statement
It could be in self-defense. If poster Q posts a post that I identify as anti-group G, then members of G could hate Q to ready themselves for an attack by Q.
