> Why would you even need to say «call for violence» if speech were violence in itself?

Because violence can take forms other than speech.

> that doesn’t make the speech itself violence

This is not something I agree with. If I say something and hearing what I say makes you reasonably feel afraid or hurt, I have said something violent. If I say something about physically harming another person, I have said something violent. The speech itself is violence.
