‘If passed by the Senate and signed into law, the bill would broaden the legal definition of antisemitism to include the “targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity.’"
Please excuse me, but what is this horseshit?

For those who aren’t aware, this bill aims to effectively enshrine into law the IHRA definition of antisemitism, which has been a controversial doctrine since its inception because critics say it unnecessarily curtails freedom of speech.
Hell, even the Zionist Anti-Defamation League say on their website that the IHRA definition is a guideline that should not be enacted into law because it would infringe the First Amendment:
This bill does very little that existing legislation does not already except curtail freedom of speech, and the fact that it got such widespread support from both Democrats and Republicans in the House is a goddamn travesty.
It’s a terrible bill, but I feel fairly confident that this will not get through the Senate, so I’m not all that concerned about it. It’s performative at best.
Cope, both dems and Republicans strongly support this and it will pass both house and senate and Biden will sign it.
