Should a Hated Word Be Banned? Mohammed Abed 811

    In the article " Should a Hated Book Be Banned" by Jodi Rudoren talks about how the word nazi should be banned in Jerusalem. In the article it states the different points of views of different people. In this essay you will be hearing the point of view of Rabbi Dov Lipman. 

     Rabbi Dov Lipman states that "Freedom of speech is important. But in my opinion, every country has to establish certain value-based limits." He thinks everyone should have freedom of speech. He also thinks there should be limits to saying certain words.

   I agree with Rabbi Dov Lipman and think that there should be limits. For example, in the text it says "Should be put in jail" for comparing former Iranian president to Hitler. I don't think comparing people to Nazis should get you in jail. He was going to drop a nuclear bomb on Isreal. 

   In the article "Should a Hated Word be Banned" some people want the word bazi to be banned and some people don't. They don't want it to be banned because it would ruin the freedom of speech in that country.
