BREAKING: The House just passed HR 6090, which expands the definition of antisemitism to include criticism of Israel.
Let me be clear. People have rights. State governments do not have rights. This terrible bill sets a dangerous precedent & does nothing to actually decrease or stop the scourge of antisemitism. The Senate should not pass this bill and Biden should not sign it into law.

“Obviously antisemitism . . . is a vile sentiment. It's an old sentiment. It has been used for bloodshed, for violence, and for genocide. No one should condone it and obviously none of us would ever condone it. But it also has become a tool to silence speech about Israel; and that too has quite a history. The current Israeli government, or rather the numerous governments under Benjamin Netanyahu have been pushing this agenda of arguing that any criticism of his Israeli policies, not least of Israeli occupation policies (this precedes, of course, the events in Gaza [Oct 7th] ) is antisemitic.” – Omer Bartov, Israeli Holocaust Scholar
