          Until a 5-4 Supreme Court decision decides it’s ok actually.

          Actually this being Israel it’ll be a 7-2

          The constitution is toilet paper for the ruling class.

          They’ll do whatever they want, whenever they want.

          It is. But that won’t stop charges, fines, and jail for hundreds or thousands until someone rich enough to take it to the right court gets charged.

            Not on its own it won’t. The bill only affects the Department of Education’s definitions for discrimination (Title IX, I think). I don’t think that’s a criminal matter.

            But it is one step toward what you say.

            Nah, I doubt it will pass the senate and even if it does, hate speech is legal in the United States so if they are equating critiquing Israeli government with kkk and nazi propaganda I’m ok with that I guess.

              Legal and constitutional are different things. Hate speech is, in fact, illegal in many places. But the test that would apply for constitutional muster seems to be clear and present danger. Criticizing a government would not likely clear that bar.

        Will you say that again when it passes the senate?

          Yes. They are not going to regulate my speech. Live free or die!

      Are you lying for exaggeration purposes or something else?

      Edit: how many pissed off downvoters read the bill? How about even a summary of it?

        The bill, titled the Antisemitism Awareness Act, would mandate that the Education Department adopt the broad definition of antisemitism used by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, an intergovernmental group, to enforce anti-discrimination laws.

        Further down:

        The letter pointed in part to an example of antisemitism included in the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition, which says antisemitism could include “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.”

        I downvoted you because you said it was a lie but didn’t specify what the lie or truth was.
