Antisemitism Awareness Act passes the House

[Anonymous]

Looks like Schumer is trying to get this passed in the senate.

Either he will pass it in a lame duck session or he may attach it as an amendment to the defense spending bill.

The extent to which America allowed its foreign policy to be outsourced to Israel is a disgrace. The tail is truly wagging the dog, except in this case the tail is a filthy, putrid anus.

This legislation now proscribes what "anti-Semitism" means when Department of Education is undertaking a review of a title IV complaint of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and formally adopts the IHRA's "working definition." The issue with the Civil Rights Act is that it does not address religious discrimination.

Here is the IHRA's working definition + illustrative examples:

Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.

To guide IHRA in its work, the following examples may serve as illustrations:

Manifestations might include the targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity. However, criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as anti-Semitic. Antisemitism frequently charges Jews with conspiring to harm humanity, and it is often used to blame Jews for “why things go wrong.” It is expressed in speech, writing, visual forms and action, and employs sinister stereotypes and negative character traits.

Contemporary examples of antisemitism in public life, the media, schools, the workplace, and in the religious sphere could, taking into account the overall context, include, but are not limited to:

-Calling for, aiding, or justifying the killing or harming of Jews in the name of a radical ideology or an extremist view of religion.
-Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective — such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions.
-Accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group, or even for acts committed by non-Jews.
Denying the fact, scope, mechanisms (e.g. gas chambers) or intentionality of the genocide of the Jewish people at the hands of National Socialist Germany and its supporters and accomplices during World War II (the Holocaust).
-Accusing the Jews as a people, or Israel as a state, of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust.
-Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.
-Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.
-Applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.
-Using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis.
-Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.
-Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel.

Antisemitic acts are criminal when they are so defined by law (for example, denial of the Holocaust or distribution of antisemitic materials in some countries).

Criminal acts are antisemitic when the targets of attacks, whether they are people or property – such as buildings, schools, places of worship and cemeteries – are selected because they are, or are perceived to be, Jewish or linked to Jews.

Antisemitic discrimination is the denial to Jews of opportunities or services available to others and is illegal in many countries.

What Congress should do is pass reciprocal legislation for Muslims.

… and Christians.

When Jews put up Black Lives Matter signs do you think they penciled in & Jews and Muslims? They understood standing up for others is important.
People don’t seem to get this isn’t about supporting Israel’s every act, it’s about not normalizing hatred and discrimination for Jews and Israel.

Criticizing Bibi Netanyahu or Israel does not mean anti semitism.

That’s like saying critiquing Sleepy Joe or Trump is anti- American. Critiquing Putin is Russophobic. Critiquing the Iranian government or Saudi government is Islamophobic.

If someone’s on the streets saying We love Hamas!! Or down with Israel!! That’s one thing and I completely understand flagging that as hate but if someone’s just mocking Netanyahu or critiquing Israel’s failure at policy and this war I don’t see why that should be flagged as anti semitic. If anything it seems, they want Israel to succeed which is why a person would critique Netanyahu so often. Many of these people are Jewish including Chuck Schumer as well so how will that work?

Based on what has happened in American politics since 2016 and how that has caused our Federal Government to be as ineffective as ever, we need to be paying a lot more attention to what's going on here in this country and spending a lot less time thinking about who to hate and which "side" to support in the Middle East. How can people find the time to worry about what's happening over seas when our moronic American voters have elected Trump, Biden, Trump in consecutive elections? We have problems to address here.

I hope the bill passes. It will show the country exactly who’s in charge if they didn’t know already
