He is correct, though. Most of the anti-antisemitism laws only fuel more antisemitism. And, if that's something you care about, it is worth calling out. And, if you're coming at it from a freedom angle, it's still worth calling out, because it's a good logical argument to point out these acts won't even accomplish the stated goals.
As to "courage," which is the main point...while not the most courageous stance he could have taken, I still thinking opening your mouth at all on this issue, especially coming out against it (for whatever reason), is more courageous than keeping your mouth shut. This is a very loaded topic, and he could still get in major trouble for even a stance as relatively milquetoast as this.
I'm willing to give him partial points for this, for sure.
I give him all the credit in the world. Same to Matt Walsh. These two are advocating for a principled equality in the face of brazen philosemitism. Attacking obvious double standards is probably the only safe play for men in their positions. It’s an important starting point for necessary future conversations.

Good point, and agreed.
