Content: In
 
fighting
 
this
 
dehumanization,
 
one
 
must
 
remember
 
that
 
there
 
is
 
no
 
right
 
of
 
“freedom
 
of
 
speech”
 
to
 
tell
 
people
 
to
 
commit
 
murder. Outlawing
 
hate
 
speech
 
can
 
help
 
save
 
the
 
lives
 
of
 
those
 
targeted. If
 
a
 
country
 
is
 
on
 
the
 
verge
 
of
 
committing
 
genocide
 
it
 
is
 
no
 
longer
 
a
 
democracy
 
(if
 
it
 
was
 
before),
 
and
 
the
 
broad
 
freedom
 
of
 
speech
 
protected
 
in
 
a
 
democracy
 
may
 
need
 
to
 
be
 
limited
 
in
 
such
 
a
 
country. Hate
 
radio
 
stations
 
should
 
be
 
shut
 
down,
 
and
 
hate
 
propaganda
 
banned. Hate
 
crimes
 
and
 
atrocities
 
should
 
be
 
promptly
 
punished. 5. ORGANIZATION: Genocide
 
is
 
always
 
organized,
 
usually
 
by
 
the
 
state,
 
though
 
sometimes
 
informally
 
or
 
by
 
terrorist
 
groups. Special
 
army
 
units
 
or
 
militias
 
are
 
often
 
trained
 
and
 
armed. Plans
 
are
 
made
 
for
 
genocidal
 
killings.
