Keep in mind, under the U.S. House's new bill, criticizing this counts as antisemitism.

[-] card797@champserver.net 44 points 11 months ago

Shit is irrelevant. The House leadership is fucking corrupt and stupid.

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social 43 points 11 months ago

This. Also that bill is unconstitutional

Until a 5-4 Supreme Court decision decides it's ok actually.

Actually this being Israel it'll be a 7-2

[-] CaptObvious@literature.cafe 21 points 11 months ago

It is. But that won’t stop charges, fines, and jail for hundreds or thousands until someone rich enough to take it to the right court gets charged.

Nah, I doubt it will pass the senate and even if it does, hate speech is legal in the United States so if they are equating critiquing Israeli government with kkk and nazi propaganda I’m ok with that I guess.

[-] CaptObvious@literature.cafe 7 points 11 months ago

Legal and constitutional are different things. Hate speech is, in fact, illegal in many places. But the test that would apply for constitutional muster seems to be clear and present danger. Criticizing a government would not likely clear that bar.

The constitution is toilet paper for the ruling class.

They'll do whatever they want, whenever they want.

So is the massive.surveillance programs taking place for decades now. Oh and all those wars without Congressional approval.

[-] krolden@lemmy.ml 5 points 11 months ago

Will you say that again when it passes the senate?

[-] card797@champserver.net 0 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Yes. They are not going to regulate my speech. Live free or die!

Edit: only online forum moderators can do that!

Are you lying for exaggeration purposes or something else?

Edit: how many pissed off downvoters read the bill? How about even a summary of it?

[-] meleecrits@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago

The bill, titled the Antisemitism Awareness Act, would mandate that the Education Department adopt the broad definition of antisemitism used by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, an intergovernmental group, to enforce anti-discrimination laws.

Further down:

The letter pointed in part to an example of antisemitism included in the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition, which says antisemitism could include "denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor."

I downvoted you because you said it was a lie but didn't specify what the lie or truth was.
