The House on Wednesday passed the “Antisemitism Awareness act” to silence criticism of Jews and Israel as hate speech and empower the federal government to crack down on anti-Israel protests on college campuses.
Rep. Thomas Massie warned Wednesday on Twitter:
TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/
🧵 Today the House will vote on a bill to define antisemitism with the intent to increase prosecutions of activity on campuses.
The bill has a problem beyond violating the 1st Amdt:
The definition of antisemitism appears no where in the bill!

🧵 To find the legally adopted definition of antisemitism, one must go to this website below.
Not only is the definition listed there, but one also finds specific examples of antisemitic speech.
Are those examples made part of the law as well?https://t.co/wbKGNsAGoD

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene also criticized the bill, writing:
Antisemitism is wrong, but I will not be voting for the Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2023 (H.R. 6090) today that could convict Christians of antisemitism for believing the Gospel that says Jesus was handed over to Herod to be crucified by the Jews.
