I propose the "Colonization Remembrance Group" and the "Colonization Remembrance Act". Just replace all mentions of holocaust denial with colonization denial, and all mentions of anti-semitism with pro-colonizer.

Did politician just ban themselves?
It’s pretty interesting to see the influence laid bare.
I’m anti hate , so I’m not going to argue too much with the principle - but the timing is magic in terms of giving Israel cover during while they are committing war crimes.
House passes antisemetism bill so they can jail any one they don't like by labeling them antisemites, instead of just name-calling them racist, far-right, misogynist, sexist...
Even Bernie is against this bill. ( He’s a Jew, btw.)
"even"?
Saying someone is "a Jew" rather than saying that they're "Jewish" often comes off as vaguely antisemitic. I'm not saying that it's wrong, just something subtle I've noticed over the years.
Really? (Really asking)
It's not considered offensive for other religions as far as I know... "Peter is a Christian" has zero derogatory connotation
I mean the first point is that there's not much history of widespread systematic anti-christian sentiment in the western world. Secondly, I've noticed antisemitic people tend to say "... is a jew" with a particular intonation even when they're not speaking negatively about someone. In text format where tone isn't able to be conveyed, I've noticed that people are more likely to react negatively.
Maybe I'm wrong, though. 🤷♂️ I'm a stranger on the internet, and you probably shouldn't take my word at face value.
Eh. I'm a Jew.
If they’re still providing weapons to commit genocide, nothing has changed.
Going through it, it seems that most of this is performative, as hate speech laws have more teeth then this bill.
What I don't like is the broad interpretation of antisemitism, however, I don't see how this law can hurt protesters. As most of the protests I've seen aren't including hateful message towards the Jewish population, but more of a criticism of colleges/officials donating to a genocide.
Unless... criticizing genocides are anti-semetic.... then all hail the god emperor.
many bills dont make it to the law stage, but with everything going on (domestically, internationally) this one likely will
We are witnessing a modern day red scare
Close - the difference is that in this red scare we're the reds and McCarthy is neither a senator nor even an American... They're Isreali lobbyists.
I really, really do not want to be lumped in with Zionists.
I don't agree at all with what's happened to the Palestinians at Israel's hands, and I have no trouble saying both Zionists and Israeli govt are wrong here.
I have never visited Israel for how toxic Zionists ironically sounded, considering our history in Germany, and I'm damn glad I never will. You're making us all look bad, you fucking idiots.
Agreed. I'm Jewish but I'm American. I'm not Israeli. I don't support Israel's apartheid or its genocide. I've never cared much about Israel in terms of my "heritage" and I've never even been especially interested in visiting beyond wanting to see some of the archaeology.
I am so tired of being associated with Israel and it's Israel's fault.

That right there, you are going to be engaging in hate speech if this bill becomes law.
