In a move intended to dramatically broaden Department of Education probes of colleges and universities who tolerate students that criticize Israel, the Senate today unanimously passed the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act, which was passed with little debate or fanfare.
Sens. Bob Casey (D – PA) and Tim Scott (R – SC) presented the bill as targeting a growing number of “religiously motivated hate crimes,” warning that the Department of Education needed to take “urgent action” to investigate all anti-semitism at school.
The bill intends to do this by instructing the Department of Education to use the State Department’s definition of anti-semitism, which broadly includes criticism of Israel or attempts to “delegitimize” Israel’s status as a Jewish state, or even “focusing on Israel” for human rights investigations or urging peace.
Though it’s unclear how the Department of Education will ultimately handle this new legislation, the bill is aimed at giving legitimacy to Title VI discrimination complaints against universities related to all of this newly-minted anti-semitism under the broader, State Department definition.
How embarrassing.
The AntiAntiSemitists will be driving their van to your campus soon, their little howto book of the Ministry of Truth in their backpocket.
So where are those “religiously motivated hate crimes”, I haven’t heard much (i.e. nothing at all) about this, just seen Black Lives Matter rioters do undocumented shopping.
Last night I checked under my bed for Russians, Iranians, Chinese and their useful idiots. I can report to my government that the were no subversives; just the same large party of “American” Israelis (“Israeli” Americans?) living off the fat of the land in the land. Not sure it is worth checking every day; so crowded under there that I don’t think Putin will fit.
Just a guess – the people most responsible for this junk are the least religious people around and the most willing to equate religion with an ethnic self- identity.
Let me see, burning the American flag is free speech, so is the vilest, most debased pornography, also, blasphemy against deeply held Christian beliefs is a matter of artistic expression but telling the truth about Racist Zionism is not covered by the Constitutional guarantee. The Founding Fathers labored in vain for we live under a tyranny that George III would never have attempted.
Nice idea but…. You aren’t welcome in Israel, the most racist country on the planet..
This is how tyranny begins when a small number of politicians (535) are given the power rule over a population of 325 million.
The U.S. Congress is too concentrated in its authority. It must be diluted to reduce legislative abuses that usurp the rights of the people.
I am proud I was not allowed to enter Israel with my Syrian and Libyan Passport stamps last time I tried to enter lol
“This act is not meant to infringe on any individual right protected under the First Amendment of the Constitution,” they wrote, snickering like schoolboys who just drank their first can of beer.
Criticizing Israel’s killing children in Gaza is now illegal in American universities?
The USA is a strange collection of contradictions but one thing is for sure buying politicians to enact absurdly unethical legislation is no longer considered corruption.
Nice comment Pat… Not to mention how politically correct this sort of garbage is… Like telling it like it is…. is “insensitive”….
United State &Israel of America
Israel censored freedom
Can you believe it? About time to to hang some Senators. Do you think it would get their attention?
I wonder what they charge for a law like this?
When it comes to hate groups, AIPAC and the ADL have replaced the KKK. They don’t burn crosses; but, they BAN free speech.
And that’s just the beginning..
More fun and games from America’s No.1 Welfare Queen… The “We are here to serve them” attitude blantently on display here.. Just give us your money…And NO BACKTALK… SEE…
If you weren’t already wise how we are BOUGHT and OWNED by our “Special Friend”…… Here is just further BLATANT proof… JUST PAY & STFU………….
Actually these sort of brain dead tactics only force the cat out of the bag… For ALL to SEE…. Thanks a lot…
As treacherous as this bill is, it’s actually a sign of the weakening of the stranglehold the Zionists have on a propagandized U.S. population. That corrupted politicians need to be bribed or threatened to ban American’s free speech, especially in an academic setting, is a sign that there is a growing awareness of the poisonous influence of Zionism.
Want to know who belongs to the Privileged Class? Just find out who you can’t criticize- there you go.
Our government is completely infiltrated by and seeks only to serve these murderous, parasitic kikes.
