Where’s that 1984 calendar meme when you need it?
Codifying a definition of Judaism that inherently means thinking that genocide is cool and good - what could go wrong
It implies that the Holocaust was done in self-defense.
If you’re not a colonizer are you actually Jewish? The government doesn’t think so.
Can’t wait until this is extended to mean that criticizing slavery and colonialism, and eventually nazism are banned because not thinking those atrocities are good actually is “anti-white.”
Sure, we’re the snowflakes but they keep expecting US to just silently put up with constant hostility without complaint while they outlaw any verbal retaliation.
The bill passed 320-91
Democrats opposed it
In the 118th Congress, the current party alignments as of April 29, 2024, are as follows:
217 Republicans (plus 2 Delegates and the Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico) and
212 Democrats (plus 3 Delegates), and 6 vacant seats.
If we presume all Conservatives voted Yes, we’re looking at a minimum of 103 out of 212 libs that voted Yes
Ed: lmao, complete voting record on that bill; 133 libs voted for it
320 libs voted for it
True, I should’ve said ‘Dems’ lol
They couldn’t give less of a shit about actual antisemites because that’s like half the republican base but they won’t tolerate criticism of israel because it’s doing god’s work genociding the muslims and it’s the place where the rapture is supposed to kick off.
Worse, this protects actual antisemites! When everyone is antisemitic, no one is. They’re destroying the meaning of the word by doing this.
Yeah I worry about this. It’s already hard to talk about this stuff, now fascists will be more likely to assume I’m in league with them if I express my disapproval of this stuff.
it’s doing god’s work genociding the muslims and it’s the place where the rapture is supposed to kick off.
Honestly I think it’s less about that and more about the fact that Israel acts as a money-laundering scheme for America’s military industrial complex (along with Ukraine and other proxy conflicts). Also, the US military is so intertwined with the Israeli military that they essentially act as the same organization. “Unsinkable aircraft carrier” is a good descriptor.
As if their God would accept them if it existed.
Not sure if it was mentioned in this article, I skimmed it a couple of times, but the working definition of antisemitism:
It requires the Department of Education to use the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance working definition of antisemitism when enforcing federal anti-discrimination laws. The working definition says antisemitism is in-part “a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews.” The definition includes denying Jewish people their right to self-determination by claiming that the State of Israel is a racist state and drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.
Uh… how oddly specific of them to say that calling Israel a racist state and comparing them to Nazis is antisemitic. Its almost like the only purpose of this updated definition is to give Israel a blank check to do as much genocide as they want
My “I am not a fascist ethnostate” shirt has a lot of people asking questions that are already answered on the shirt.
Every day these demons find a way to make me hate this country a little bit more. If it wasn’t so evil it would be impressive. I didn’t even know I could hate this country more but here we are.

This is gonna create a “boy who cried wolf” effect for antisemitism.
Unfortunately, people are now gonna have a difficult time taking instances of actual antisemitism seriously, and that’s really fucking sad.
In the House on Tuesday morning, the Illinois Republican Mary E Miller acted as speaker pro tempore to oversee debate on the Republican antisemitism awareness bill.
As a choice, it was not without irony. Miller made headlines in 2021, when as a newly elected member of Congress she was forced to apologise after saying in a speech at the Capitol: “Hitler was right on one thing. He said, ‘Whoever has the youth has the future.’ Our children are being propagandised.”
So basically the entire US political establishment has decided that saying “Hitler was right” and echoing conspiracy theories of Jewish Marxists corrupting the youth is just a “difference in opinion” whereas pro-Palestinian activists should be shut down without debate.
Okay, are we gonna be consistent and say criticizing any state that (claims) to represent an entire ethnic group is anti-that-ethnic group then? Criticizing China is now Sinophobic! And don’t you dare speak I’ll of Albania!
Deeply unserious country. When they arrest Jews standing against
genocide and standing with Albert Einstein we are going to see America’s foreign policy on trial. It is going to be really funny when laywers sucessfully argue the definition itself is unconstitutional and anti-semetic.America is so concerned about antisemitism that you are allowed to praise Nazi Germany but are not allowed to criticize Israel
Found the damn thing
Terrible calendar btw. He should really ask for his money back
It also skips the weekend at the end of the month
Never buy your calendars on wish.com, people
Ok, even so, wouldn’t the logical response be “so what?” since these freaks excuse nazi speech? They allow confederate statues and slave owners’ names on streets and bases. It’s insane that of all the hateful shit that’s overlooked in this country, fucking Israel will be the cause of your personal downfall. You are literally safer financially and socially if you marched in brown shirts and sig heiled than you are saying you don’t like Israel lol
They’re fucking dabbing on us

Oh no, the same political body that enthusiastically supported the genocide of an entire continent, allowed wholesale theft of indigenous lands, legalized ownership and enslavement of human beings, persecuted people of my same political persuasion, and authorized and pursued wars that killed millions for no reason other than profits…. dares to label my criticism of a racist, genocidal apartheid state antisemitic?! Oh no, whatever will I do.
I guess on the plus side, I don’t know anyone under 45 - regardless of ideology - who thinks speaking out against Israel is anything close to antisemitism, so all this does is further delegitimize the US government in the eyes of young people, so that’s good.
burn stuff
