The House of Representatives is trying to pass a resolution making the term “Free Palestine” an official antisemitic slogan.
Republican Representative Gabe Evans from Colorado introduced the resolution in the wake of the attack on a gathering for Israeli hostages in Boulder this week. Mohammed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national, has been charged for the attack, during which he yelled “Free Palestine,” according to the FBI.
“Whereas, while shouting ‘Free Palestine,’ an antisemitic slogan that calls for the destruction of the state of Israel and Jewish people, Mohammed Sabry Soliman attacked the peaceful demonstrators with homemade Molotov cocktails,” the resolution reads. House Republicans are expected to vote on the nonbinding resolution next week.
I’m glad they can just decide what we should think.
Land of the Free!
Land of the free!
This coming from the same motherfuckers that brought you classics like:
“We have to let the Nazis march in the park this weekend, freeze peach”
And
“The klan is just a bunch of good 'ol boys, they never hurt nobody”
Honestly, as much as I hate the opinions of Nazi’s and Klansmen, I still support their rights to free speech. That’s how it works. Otherwise you are doing the same “I’m free you are not” bullshit.
Why were you down voted for that? It’s ridiculous. It’s literally a paraphrasing of Thomas Paine saying, “I may not agree with what you say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it.” FFS. That IS freedom of speech.
I don’t care about fake internet points. I know I’m right.
I also support the community ostracizing them and individuals punching them in the face for being Nazis and Klansmen.
Yeah that’s fine. lol
And “Jews will not replace us,” elon’s nazi salute, nazi flags at their rallies, and “oh no, you’ve got it all wrong! I was totally born in 1988, that’s why it’s in my username. Ignore the 14.”
Free Palestine.
How does the end result (Palestine is free) look in detail?
At this point… bleak.
Please remember guys that “Free USA” is antichristian!
What’s “Free Willy” then?
Free Willy is an illusion! Everything is predeterminy
Even back when I was a wee baby in the 90s, it cost at least $8 to free Willy, and a drink and popcorn were easily twice that.
You would think they would start with an easier one like “heil Hitler” being antisemitic, but they seem perfectly okay with that one.
You mean the “my heart goes out to you” gesture?
Palestinians are semites. Also being against genocide isn’t antisemitism
Saving people a quick search.
What is meant by semitic people?
Semitic describes a group of languages — including Hebrew and Arabic — as well as the people who traditionally speak them. Semitic is rooted in the Biblical name Shem, the son of Noah, who is traditionally thought of as the direct ancestor of the Jews and Arabs.
This is just the right wing weaponizing accusations of antisemitism even as they, themselves, are antisemitic.
Yeah all this bill says is Gabe Evans is an Antisemite.
The Semites thing is a red herring. anti-Semitism is Jew hatred.
our politicians are shameless cuckolds for aipac. american working class is having the worst crisis since great depression and these hacks are busy deepthroating genocider scum
Free Palestine
Yep.
Free Palestine.
I’ll do you one better, Protect

1st amendment baby. Can’t be made illegal and they can’t redefine just like they can’t redefine pi as 3.14. It simply isn’t antisemitism to call for the liberation of an oppressed people.
And this isn’t even a law, it’s a resolution.
That’s literally the least thing Congress can do, after just walking into the building.
And a nonbinding bill that flies in the face of the first amendment isn’t posturing?
We should expect better from elected officials than randos on the internet.

Remember kids, this is cheapening the word anti-Semitism and making it more and more meaningless. In the long run, this will hurt Jews. (Who do you think will be blamed by the fascists for US imperial over-extension?)
I’ll never forgive them for ruining Hollywood/the MCU.
/S
[E: Republicans] portraying Jews collectively, universally as perpetrators of genocide seems antisemitic and hurts Jews.
And when you see someone conflating all Jews with the Israeli government, you are free, nay encouraged, to call that shit out.
But guess what’s NOT happening in this thread? Or this entire comment section?
Israel is committing genocide.
Sincerely, your friendly neighborhood Jew
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I’m agreeing with OP.
The Republicans are painting Jews as warmongers. What the Republicans are doing is antisemitic.
Ah yeah, didn’t read that way haha. Thanks for clarifying 💙
Next up, Republicans prepare bill declaring “Black Lives Matter” is racist against white people.
And to preempt any “all lives matter” bullshit:
Nazi lives don’t matter
I have that bumper sticker on my vehicle. Hasn’t been vandalized yet.
No lives matter, and that’s a fact.
-Cthulhu
All racial groups lives matter.
Which is literally the message of “black lives matter.”
People who say things like this usually act like black and brown lives don’t matter.
Which is the crux of the problem.
I have no clue what you are talking about.
Then find out.
Well that’s a huge surprise

shouting ‘Free Palestine,’ an antisemitic slogan that calls for the destruction of the state of Israel and Jewish people
Holy fucking Moses. It absolutely does not call for that.
“I love X.”
“Why do you hate and want to destroy Y, huh? You piece of shit, fuck X. Y is the best!”
But seriously, fuck X.
Gonna have to start using A and B as variables instead… Because I concur: fuck X.
Are Republicans against being free?
they’re fascist
Yeah I thought that was pretty well established at this point
The fundamental basis of conservatism is that freedom means having power over other people. Therefore they believe that any attempt to extend freedom to others means taking it away from them.
Conservatives have always been against freedom.
THEY can be free… it’s just the rest of us who have to stay within the lines
They aren’t even slightly free.
Look guys, if the people who go around blaming Jews for trying to replace white people say Free Palestine is antisemitic, who are we to argue? I never knew space lasers could be so Jewish until the authorities on antisemitism enlightened me. Was it not a nutcase conservative who taught you the power of a few parenthesis? They’re the experts here.
