No it doesn't. Defense implies that you are planning to be attacked. Regardless though, it is free speech because the word can mean a lot of things. There are countless videos of Democrats like Pelosi saying we are going to "beat" Republicans. I guess those Democrats should be banned from national television for inciting violence.

"I'm going to beat them in a race"? The word is commonly used to mean win a competition and in fact I'd argue it's use meaning physical violence is rarer.

Also being a republican (politican) is a choice and therefore valid to be a target of hatred. People aren't born Republican , however bring Jewish is considered both an ethnic group and religion. This is the key to why it's acceptable to attack a political group verus an ethnic group.

Jews have different views, they don't act as one group, they don't have a hierarchy like republicans, nor don't put out group statements.

Beat is just the tip. There are countless videos of Democrat leaders saying people has to fight, that they're at war, etc. Kanye wasn't telling everyone to go Death (DEF) CON 3 on the Jews, he was saying he was. He could have literally said he hoped that people would die and it still isn't isn't inciting violence according to the law. Conservatives are good at that, where they are constantly advocating for the murder of trans people which according to Musk is okay cause I still see it frequently from many of the right-wing people he is now associating with and their followers. While I don't agree with his statement, it is far from inciting violence and doesn't break any laws in the US.
