Free speech ain't free.
Speak your mind.
Freely.
Speak it well.
Speak it loudly.
Speak it and own it.
Accept the consequences for doing so.
That's the cost.

Germany uses anti-hate crime laws to silence free speech of Jews and Palestinians
‘We Jews are just arrested; Palestinians are beaten’: Protesters in Germany
"German-Israeli activist Iris Hefets was arrested for the first time in Berlin just a few weeks after the start of Israel’s war on Gaza last October – for holding a sign which read, “As a Jew and Israeli, stop the genocide in Gaza”. [...]
She was arrested a second time on November 10 for “inciting racial hatred” when she held the same sign – her charge was recently dropped. Her third arrest was for a sign warning that “Zionism kills”. Again, she was released soon after but, this time, her sign was confiscated."
