Oh so trying to pass bills that is aims to stop people from criticizing Jews under the guise of ''anti-semitism'' is not a restriction of the First Amendment, are you daft? Also the non-Jews(or most likely cryptos) who are introducing these bills are doing it under the behest of who exactly?

Al D'Amato is an Italian. Your talk of crypto-Jews makes you come off like a kook.

And a bill, say, to allocate funds to monitor and propagate against anti-Semitism has no effect on anyone's First Amendment rights. They are as free to voice their views by law as before.

Yeah because Jews would never pretend to be non-Jews and then advocate for jewish interests right? They never change their names, right? It's not like we have thousands of examples of that right?

Also that's a fancy way of saying silencing ''anti-semitism'' because that's the aim of all these bills, they want to eventually criminalize ''anti-semitism'' and they are doing it step by step. For example, you had ''Anti-Semitism Awareness Act of 2016 ''(which passed the Senate), this bill allows, that schools who are investigated for discrimination by the Department of Education under the Civil Rights Act, the Department of Education would have to consider Department of State’s definition of anti-Semitism, which includes criticism of Israel as anti-semitism. This means actions can be taken against a school if they have students, teachers and activist who criticise Israel which also heavily attacks Pro-Palestinian activism on campuses, this obviousy violates the First Amendment.

The bill was of course supported by AIPAC, the ADL, the Jewish Federations of North America and the Simon Wiesenthal Center, so just right there we see who was behind this sleazy bill behind the scenes.

Al D'Amato

Who is Al doing it for, Joe? Eskimos?
