1. France and antisemitism go together like

2. France has hate speech laws

The hate speech laws in France are matters of both civil law and criminal law. Those laws protect individuals and groups from being defamed or insulted because they belong or do not belong, in fact or in fancy, to an ethnicity, a nation, a race, a religion, a sex, a sexual orientation, or a gender identity or because they have a handicap. The laws forbid any communication which is intended to incite discrimination against, hatred of, or harm to, anyone because of his belonging or not belonging, in fact or in fancy, to an ethnicity, a nation, a race, a religion, a sex, a sexual orientation, or a gender identity, or because he or she has a handicap.

Maybe they don't apply to antisemitism anymore.

3. "Maybe they don't apply to antisemitism anymore."

That seems to be quite common nowadays. Basically, the "rule" is meant to "show" concern but the actual enforcement..."meh". It is nothing more than a suggestion. Frankly, more seemed offended by calling out anti-Semitism than by anti-Semitism itself.
