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.

“. . . there was tragic case with a Palestinian professor of the Hebrew University: Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian, who was first sort of attacked by the university and later was arrested by the police and mistreated really badly. [She was] kept overnight in a jail, stripped, humiliated (This is a full professor in her 60's and a well known scholar) because she had expressed empathy with what was happening in Gaza. The main difference is that not only did the University leaders did not come out in support of their own faculty member, but there are many students at the universities that are actually supporting these kinds of policies.”
