“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.”

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:

The 'overall context' in this case is young people and old people and MANY JEWISH PEOPLE want the IDF to stop bombing children and destroying infrastructure in Gaza.

That's the overall context which is clearly applicable to this case.

 

However, keep in mind:

However, criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic. IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism May 2016

In the very document this act is based on, it states that if individuals hold OTHER NATIONS to the SAME STANDARDS, then, by THEIR DEFINITION, it is NOT ANTISEMITISM.

How many of us protested/opposed the brutal U.S. bombings of:

• Iraq
• Afghanistan
• Syria
• Libya
• Yemen
• Somalia
• Cambodia
• Laos
  

How many of us protest against U.S. arming of Ukraine?

The answer is MANY OF US oppose when the U.S. behaves in similar manners and in fact...

Joe Biden is now known as GENOCIDE JOE for his role in the ethnic cleansing in Gaza... so we are CURRENTLY holding our own government accountable as well.

Ergo... by the definitions set forth by the very institution this bill derives it's mandate from, neither the protesters nor writers nor bloggers nor activists of any kind are guilty of antisemitic speech or actions.

This is a hastily constructed bill designed to appease zionists and settler-types both inside Israel and abroad. Clearly they did NOT expect us to read the source material... or the bill for that matter.

They are trying to do to us what Israel did to their own citizens, silence us under threat of financial penalty and even arrest.

Israel doesn't have a Bill of Rights. We do. Or at least we do until we allow them to tear it up.
