You cheer for censorship when it aligns with your beliefs. Yet call the slippery slope a "fallacy."

See what happens?

I can sort of see the point you’re trying to make (as I too in a comment have called for censorship but in a different and very specific context), but I feel that you’re not exactly acknowledging the issue being discussed in this thread which is that people won’t be able to state their thoughts about the government of a country that is killing people en masse.

It’s a moral position that should be easy to support: it’s wrong to ethnically cleanse a population of people.

When I commented that certain speech should be punished, it was in the context of speech that is easy to fact-check and speech that directly harms people. The expression of being against the current government of Israel doesn’t harm anyone (other than the masters behind the scenes, but even then it’s just their money/control being targeted).

Just because your argument is fallacious doesn't mean the conclusion is wrong.

"Black people are hot therefore they should be treated equally" is an example that I can immediately come up with.
