Nobody voted against it. What does that tell you? From a disance, I'd hazard a guess that one reason might have been that voting against such a bill could reasonably have been interpreted as being anti-semitic.
If so, indeed it is a pretty good thing if there's a situation where anti-semitism is seen as being political suicide for a politician. Speed the day when all kinds of racism or sectarianism everywhere will be seen as political suicide.
