France: new law against antisemitism?

Myriam Ackermann-Sommer, a rabbi and essayist, argues in Le Figaro that the law is absolutely crucial:

“Supporting the Yadan bill means acknowledging that there is a particular urgency today: the fight against a new form of antisemitism that deliberately uses a new language to mask old hostilities. … The Yadan bill could help to tone down the extreme brutality that seems to characterize public debate today. Furthermore, the law makes it a criminal offence to question the State of Israel’s right to exist, and thus safeguards the principle of the recognition of peoples and their right to exist. … This means that it could also silence the denial of the Palestinian people’s existence.”
