This is hate speech and illegal in my country.

It should be illegal in any country.

Sadly, in the U.S., "freedom of speech" has become almost totally meaningless. Our supreme court decided that money is speech, which is why we now have things called political action committees (PACs) which aren't supposed to work with campaigns *wink wink, nudge nudge* and can raise unlimited funds from anyone anywhere in the world legally. Unsurprisingly, Trump's PAC has been paying his legal bills.

Freedom of speech in America means the freedom to call for, advocate for, and organize violence against anyone you like so long as they aren't white and/or Christian.

If you say violence is bad, or call for violence against those Advocating for and organizing violence though - THEN it's hate speech.

speech should not be illegal, everyone should be free to say what they want. If you don't like what someone is saying don't fucking vote for them. Protest against israel are already illegal in many countries, that's what not having free speech brings you.

Got it. Money should equal speech because it's illegal to protest against Israel in many countries.
