The US House of representatives is preparing to vote next week on a resolution that would deem “Free Palestine” to be “an antisemitic slogan.”

If anybody votes against this, they’ll say they voted to support Colorado terrorist attack.

@Feathercrown US is the only country on earth that prosecutes it's citizens for criticizing anoter country and call for freedom of a third.

it puts a whole new meaning to "land of the free'

Have you heard of Germany?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What about Germany?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

German politicians and media are absolutely bloodthirsty psychos, they will go at any length to shield the Zionists and make sure they’ll be able to finish their genocide. Plus the whole Iran thing backing Israel‘s illegal attack while being all "Woman Life Freedom“.

GOP Rep Introduces Resolution Labeling ‘Free Palestine’ Slogan as ‘Anti-Semitism’ - Activist Post (2025-06-15)

https://www.activistpost.com/gop-rep-introduces-resolution-labeling-free-palestine-slogan-as-anti-semitism/
———

>> Colorado GOP Congressman Gabe Evans introduced a non-binding resolution on Friday that labels ‘Free Palestine’ as “an antisemitic slogan.” The bill seeks to limit immigration of people who oppose Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine and Tel Aviv’s genocidal onslaught in the besieged Gaza Strip. The bill is expected to be voted on some time next week.

The bill reads, “Whereas, while shouting ‘Free Palestine,’ an antisemitic slogan that calls for the destruction of the state of Israel and Jewish people, Mohammed Sabry Soliman attacked the peaceful demonstrators with homemade Molotov cocktails.”

"That's a funny way to spell "destroy Israel""

Insanity

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

How many wars and genocides does Israel have to be involved in before "Destroy Israel" becomes a more popular slogan?

Nobody seems shy about saying "Destroy Russia" or "Break up China" or even "Invade Mexico". Hell, nobody seems shy about saying "Nuke Iran". Beginning to think there might be some kind of regional political bias to which countries we're allowed to fantasize about demolishing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah obviously any countries the old white people hate are oltologivally evil and we can go explode them but if they like them then it's illegal to disagree. I love living in such a free country

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Double down on that genocide, bitches, and the news/public will track the names of the ones that do.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Nah, the news won’t do that. They’re all owned by oligarchs who are responsible for the current state of the world. Corporate news is not on our side.

No one is coming to save us, we have to do it ourselves.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

The further they push, the more regular people will recognize it as insane.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

As someone who is Jewish this is insanity.

I SAY DEATH TO THE FASCISTS AND THE ZIONIST TYRANTS, I WANT NO MORE OF THE LIES

DEATH TO THE TYRANTS

DEATH TO REACTION

DEATH TO DECEIT

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I'm Jewish, technically Israeli. and after what I witnessed in my years there:

FREE PALESTINE

FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA

DEATH TO APARTHEID

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I have visted the occupation, in my time there I saw inhuman evils and indescribable horrors

DEATH TO OCCUPATION

DEATH COLONIALISM

DEATH TO GENOCIDE

Lol land of free speech

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Free speech protections are still in place, and this is why they are important. This resolution can't prevent people from saying it, just signals that the current house of representatives wants to.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Peaceful protests are being quashed by the literal US military/national guard. There are videos of police specifically targeting people with signs/flags they don't like with "less lethals".

Before that campus protests calling for an end to genocide were quashed by local police.

People who attend either of these protests are being jailed and/or deported.

"Free speech" is a myth.

I'm not saying they couldn't be stronger. There is a huge problem with abusing deportations this way, and other forms of legislating speech by enforcement. But please consider how much worse things can get, and what barriers still remain between here and there. That it isn't a crime to say "Free Palestine", that it isn't a simple matter of declaring it a racist slogan to make it a crime, does mean something.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

But please consider how much worse things can get, and what barriers still remain between here and there.

The barriers are largely logistical. And I believe Trump's allies in Silicon Valley are closing the gap between what they want and what they can practically achieve.

That it isn’t a crime to say “Free Palestine”

If you can be targeted, arrested, and deported for doing a thing, it is a crime in every way that matters.

I guess its nice they didn't subject him to torture, indefinite detention, or summary execution. But given how many people are being sent to international black sites and concentration camps, that's hardly a given.

The question isn't whether things can get worse. The question is whether there are any avenues left for things to get better. I'm increasingly pessimistic, given the current state of play.

silly leftists, free speech is for racists

Old Soviet Joke.

Two agents meet in a bar in Germany on the eve of the collapse of the Berlin Wall. The CIA agent says to the KGB agent, "Why do you continue to support the Soviet Union? You have no freedom in your country. Come to the United States. In our country, we can criticize our leaders. I can say 'Death to Ronald Reagan' and nobody will stop me."

The KGB agent shakes his head, smiling. "Why would I want to travel all the way to America in order to say that? In Moscow, we also say 'Death to Ronald Reagan' whenever we please."

Another one: A CIA agent and a KGB agent meet at a bar after talking for a while the KGB agent says to the CIA agent „You know one thing we really admire back in the USSR is your propaganda it’s really top notch“ the CIA agent looks confused and asks, „What propaganda?“

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Congress can deem whatever they want, I'm gonna keep saying Free Palestine until Palestine is free.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

so a slogan, that involves a semitic country with actual semitic roots, is antisemitic? Can't make this shit up.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Reminder that the KKK still hasn't been outlawed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Meanwhile, literal nazis are allowed to say "Blood and soil!" or "Jews will not replace us!" and the House will say "There's good people on both sides."

Palestinian people are semetic.

Semetic does not exclusively mean Jewish.
