Most notable is that the term “anti-semitism” as it pertains within the bill has been defined by an international org. to include claiming Jews killed Jesus.
Our alleged conservative, alleged christian speaker is all for it.

Score another one for team perpetual victimhood.

As a rule, I don't like things that infringe upon the 1st Amendment.

I can't really find enough info on this to know how bad it is, but it doesn't look good, to me.

But I wonder what George Soros and Alejandro Mayorkas will approve of these new measures…
The term has been around for at least 100 years.

Peaceful protests are protected. Anything more than that is not. What these morons at the university "protests" are doing is already illegal. Disruptive criminal behavior. They should be prosecuted. But I don't really see a need for the OP presented measure. We already have laws that could be applied to the agitators. Laws that do not infringe on free speech.

My thoughts are the same, although I don't know enough about the bill and don't know enough about the definition it references to be able to say for certain.

But, on second thought, should we even have a bill that references a definition that is so hard to find?
If the definition isn't in front of us, how hard would it be to change it, 1984 style?
(In that book, the government routinely changed what was written in the past to align with what was happening in the present. In fact, that was the main character's job.)

Somewhat, although I wish I didn't feel driven to keep up with it.
Sometimes I wish I were as ignorant as people who make anti Israeli posts.
Ignorance is bliss...

This. Any actual discriminatory action based upon religion or national origin is already covered under existing federal and state legislation.

Does the proposal make any distinction between the State if Israel and people subscribing to the Jewish faith? Because it seems that large swaths of people can't make that distinction.

We banned the Bible so Israel wouldn’t be offended. It’s the least we could do for our greatest ally.

Unnecessary. I don't need the government's "help" not being a nazi. Looking at the products and results of their "education" system, the government is the one that needs all the help it can get. Outside of that, the intentions of this act are almost certainly not what we see on the surface.
