The House has passed legislation that would establish a broader definition of antisemitism for the Department of Education to enforce anti-discrimination laws.

‘If passed by the Senate and signed into law, the bill would broaden the legal definition of antisemitism to include the “targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity.’"

Pardon me, but what is this horseshit?

    A law like this is going to have the opposite of the “intended” effect. It’s going to make people hate Jewish folk as a whole. Imagine being part of the genocidal protected class, feeling untouchable, you’re going to push those boundaries more and more until you’re universally detested.

      That’s the goal of the Zionists. They want to make sure Israel is the only safe haven, because they don’t believe in multicultural societies like the US. Everything has to be an ethnostate. That’s why they always make deals with right wing and outright antisemetic regimes like Hungary, apartheid South Africa and Saudi Arabia.

        Jesus Christ, does this mean that a certain toothbrush mustachioed “camp counselor” was onto something? The thought sickens me, but things are starting to get a bit too muddied to be sure anymore.

              The German army had to run on something… and late into the war that something certainly wasn’t food.

                Late? Early in the war, what do you think the Blitzkrieg ran on? Pervitin and Panzerschokolade, that’s what.

                Not like the Western Allies were far behind, apparently their drug of choice was Benzedrine in their “go pills”.

            This is the only correct response. You can make comparisons to Hitler all you want but you better be damn sure you have an actual point or you’re in Nazi territory

          No, why would you get that from my post? What he did consider, however, before settling on the ‘final solution’, was deporting all the Jews, but nobody would take them.

            So there’s probably an alternate timeline where Hitler created Israel to deport all the Jews‽

          No, he loved the idea of shipping Jewish folks away. The real solution is to live peacefully with Jewish folks welcome in your communities. The way to stop those who will make ethnostates is to reject the concept of ethnostates
