None of these allow prosecution of hurt feelings, how the target of the hate speech feels or reacts to it doesn't matter at all. In fact in all these cases there doesn't have to be a victim present. The word incitement in the Canadian definition is inciting the aggressors to violence, not the targets. It's not like how it's used in "fighting words" laws.

From this description, I'm struggling to see the difference between "hate speech" laws and laws against inciting crime (eg. imminent lawless action standard in US law). Is your claim that the standards for the two should be the same?
