Florida is about to make it a "hate crime" to "demonize Israel." Utterly insane. These numbskulls in the state legislature are really going to criminalize ordinary political speechhttps://www.thecentersquare.com/florida/florida-legislature-delivers-anti-semitism-law-for-desantis-to-sign/article_55995e22-6ab3-11e9-945f-6bdcae8a6e70.html …

That story is wrong. You can look yourself at the bill text, which I linked to. An earlier version of the bill did amend the Florida hate crime statute to include antisemitism (though that would require an underlying crime, not just speech) but it wasn’t in the passed version.

OK, I deleted one of the tweets out of an abundance of caution.

Read the law not the inaccurate summary. Hate speech is not a thing in America and the bill doesn’t say anything about hate crime. Also, FIRE says this law would clearly violate 1st Amendment. So yes some free “speech warriors” have already commented.
