I guess according to that definition, showing a swastika in public can be considered hate speech since the symbol itself promotes genocide.

But I don't think there's anything wrong with comparing Israel to Nazis Germany if one truly feels that it's an accurate comparison. We live in a free country and if someone can make a compelling argument that equates the two regimes then he's free to do so, even if you don't agree with the comparison.

Personally I think both the swastika guy and the Israeli flag wavers were both trying to get a rise out of the other side. I think they both got what they deserve and I think the police rightfully didn't act in both cases. They're also not worth debating since solving their issue has nothing to do with Israel/Palestine and more so with the nuances of Canadian laws.
