SR,

I take that as a grudging acceptance that your vitriolic attack was completely unwarranted.

The issue that I have with 18c is that the entire clause is an attack on free speech, but in particular the word "offend" is almost entirely subjective, which enables the prosecution of people based on unintended inuendo such as seen in several recent abuses of the justice system.

Secondly, while it is theoretically possible to be anti Israel and support BDS while not being anti semetic, the reality is that many or most of the supporters are deeply anti semetic. The prime example of criticising Israel while not acknowledging the abuses by hamas is recognised as anti semetic, and I will call it out.
