Amendment No. 5 is in our name. To elaborate on what has already been said, we think it is insufficient to have ""hatred" means hatred" end of story. We want to see an amendment to the definition, that " "hatred" [is] a state of mind characterised as intense and irrational emotions of opprobrium, enmity, and detestation rooted in bias, prejudice or hostility". Those last few words are very important, particularly in the current and future context of what is happening to our society. That is why I think it is very important.
