Known as the Antisemitism Awareness Act, the legislation came in response to the outburst of campus protests over Israel's genocidal actions in the Gaza Strip. Its purpose is to silence students and their professors from speaking out in defense of the Palestinian people who are being slaughtered by Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).
The legislation contains a list of "contemporary examples" of antisemitism that would be prohibited, should it get signed into law. One of the examples presented is a statement made by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) against Israel's actions in Gaza.
Other examples of antisemitism that would be prohibited under the Antisemitism Awareness Act include "using the symbols and images associated with classic anti-Semitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis."
The bill would also prohibit "accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel ... than to the interests of their own nations," as well as making allegations "about a world Jewish conspiracy and / or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government" and "drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis."

The House overwhelmingly voted to pass the Antisemitism Awareness Act with 320 votes against 91. Of those 91 opposers, 70 were Democrats and 21 were Republicans, demonstrating that the "right" overwhelmingly supports Israel at all costs while the "left" is more skeptical of the Zionist state.
In addition to outlawing "antisemitic" speech in all of its forms, the Antisemitism Awareness Act would also require the U.S. Department of Education to adopt the very broad definition of "antisemitism" used by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), which defines it as "certain perceptions of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews."
Rep. Greene, one of the few Republicans who voted against the legislation, commented on X / Twitter that "Antisemitism is wrong," but that she will not support any legislation that "could convict Christians of antisemitism for believing the Gospel that says Jesus was handed over to Herod to be crucified by the Jews."
Unlike with past generations, the current ones with the loudest voices are not as gung-ho in supporting Israel at all costs, which is scaring the Zionists and Zionist sympathizers in charge. For the first time in the United States, there is now an obvious other side to the story about what Israel is doing in the Middle East that does not wholeheartedly accept it all as mere "self-defense."
The type of conservatism that supports legislation like the Antisemitism Awareness Act is an antichrist conservatism that rejects the gospel of Jesus Christ in favor of antichrist doctrines that better suit the Zionist agenda.
"They actually condemned Jesus twice," one commenter wrote. "Once by the religious leaders and once more by the hoi polloi mobs in the market streets (Kill him! Give us Barabbas!)."
Another wrote that the moment Jesus of Nazareth himself overturned the money merchants' tables and exhorted them out of the Temple in Jerusalem, "he was a dead man walking."
"Ditto for U.S. President Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy," this person added. "Go figure ..."
"And here we thought the House of Reps was for American concerns, not Jewish," wrote another. "They all need to be fired once and for all."
