Are there really laws in place pertaining to what an individual is permitted to say concerning the Jewish?

Answer 1

Why would you need to know this? Do you usually engage in illegal speech directed toward the Jewish???

To answer your question, no, I don't believe that are any laws that stop you from saying what you want about the Jewish. Like "they" always say, America is a free country and you are entitled to your own opinion. Just don't be shocked or angry when people start making comments directed toward your race or religion (remember: they too are entitled to their opinion)

Answer 2

The only reason why it's an issue in the first place is because Jewish people are very sensitive about their religion.
Its a rather gray area anyway. If you say something against Jews you're anti-semiitic. If you say something against Mexians or Blacks or Italians, etc. you're "racist.
Personally I don't particularly care about a lot of people from many different races and many different religions. On the same page, I like a lot of people from many different races and who embrace different religions.
Same difference really, EXCEPT Judaism is a religion, not a race.

Feeling that way does NOT make me a "racist" or "anti-semitic".

It makes me
"selective."

Answer 3

There are no laws in place that apply strictly to Jewish people.

You can say whatever you want about a group of people as long as you are not promoting hate crimes.

The laws against defimation of character, slander or libel of an individual apply to everyone, not just Jews.

Answer 4

In Germany there are strict laws in place now concerning what can be said about jewish people.

Answer 5

Your question addresses a much broader area regarding the right of an individual to speak his or her own mind, without regard to whether or not the words they speak may or may not offend the sometimes rather delicate sensibilities of others. In our 1984-ish politically correct world, the Thought Police will, now and then, attempt to apply so-called "hate crime" statutes to this or that situation in order to punish speach or ideas that they consider to be offensive. Such statutes can and are applied with respect to groups beyond those of a particular religious affiliation; most often having to do with racial makeup. There are words that can be spoken and regularly used by members of one racial group but, at the same time, can be forbidden to members of a different racial group. (not specifically forbidden by law yet but rather by some kind of subjective societal standard of acceptable speach) There are people who, for whatever reason, would like to strike certain words from the english language and make their use illegal, without regard to the existence or operation of the 1st amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
