Please reject the Antisemitism Awareness Act recently passed by the US House. This proposed law violates our Constitutional rights to free speech, including our right to criticize nation states and other political arrangements. It enshrines a false and highly politicized definition of antisemitism, the IHRA, which has been pushed by Zionists and other defenders of Israel. A more accurate definition of antisemitism is found in the Jerusalem Definition of Antisemitism, which recognizes that anti-Zionism is not antisemitism. Anti-Zionism is the strong political belief of many Jews, including many Orthodox Jews and secular leftist Jews. By sanctioning the political beliefs of many Jews (not to mention many non-Jews) it is the Antisemitism Awareness Act which is actually antisemitic.
