It's okay to attack a country of holocaust survivors with several others and
then when you lose the retaliation war to call it an occupation. Technically
fits the description of the word, but perhaps we wouldn't hear so much about
anti-Semitism if people started to realize exterminating the Jewish
population won't be too easy; and stopped trying?

You'll find many many similar laws all across Europe.. calling Canada home
of these censorship laws implies quite a narrow world view. For example,
Mein Kampf is banned in both Germany and the Netherlands. Small slip, I
suppose.

Little surprise it didn't start in the U.S. though, glad we can agree on
that. :-)
