Congress moves to BAN parts of Bible that mention Christ being killed by Jews
Known as the Antisemitism Awareness Act, the legislation came in response to the outburst of campus protests over Israel's genocidal actions in the Gaza Strip. Its purpose is to silence students and their professors from speaking out in defense of the Palestinian people who are being slaughtered by Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).
The legislation contains a list of "contemporary examples" of antisemitism that would be prohibited, should it get signed into law. One of the examples presented is a statement made by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) against Israel's actions in Gaza.
Other examples of antisemitism that would be prohibited under the Antisemitism Awareness Act include "using the symbols and images associated with classic anti-Semitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis."
The bill would also prohibit "accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel ... than to the interests of their own nations," as well as making allegations "about a world Jewish conspiracy and / or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government" and "drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis."
