The Antisemitism Awareness Bill expands the definition of antisemitism to the IHRA definition. To my understanding it makes criticism of Israel and jewish groups more likely to be "antisemitic" in the eyes of the law, no matter how right the statement is. Will likely be used to shut down the anti Israel protests.
I mean didn't they ALREADY make it a law in a bunch of states that you can't accuse Jews of being involved in any kind of conspiracy, even if it's true?
What's this about? What does it actually do?
