US House Passes Bill That Would Enhance Reporting on European Anti-Semitism

An excerpt of the bill that was just passed by the US House:

(B) Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such, or the power of Jews as a collective, especially, but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government, or other societal institutions.

(D) Accusing the Jews as a people, or 21 Israel as a state, of inventing or exaggerating 22 the Holocaust.

This is the stifling of free speech brought to you by AIPAC and elements of Israel Lobby in the United States, along with the Shabbos Goy politicians who are beholden to them. It is nothing more than clamping down on American’s 1st Amendment rights in the name of combating “Anti-Semitism.” 

Below is the text of the bill that just passed the United States House of Representatives. Americans — write your Senators and Representatives — this is unacceptable!!

Ileana Ros-Lehtinen – Clamping Down on Free Speech in the Name of Combating “Anti-Semitism”

The U.S. House of Representatives unanimously approved a bill that would add greater detail to State Department reporting on anti-Semitism in Europe.

The Combating European Anti-Semitism Act of 2017 passed Wednesday requires the State Department to report to Congress on security challenges to European Jewish communities and to the police forces where they live, and on efforts in Europe to educate against anti-Semitism.

The bill, which must be approved by the Senate and then signed by the president, also encourages European nations to adopt a uniform definition of anti-Semitism.

The State Department currently must report to Congress on the level of threats against Jews in European countries.

“This bill would require the U.S. government — and encourage our global partners — to continue to take a hard look at anti-Semitism in Europe, provide a thorough assessment of trends, and outline what the United States and our partners are doing to meet this challenge,” said a statement from the Bipartisan Taskforce for Combating Anti-Semitism.

The co-chairwomen of the task force are Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., who is also the chairwoman of the House Middle East subcommittee, and Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., also the ranking Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee.

Other members of the task force, which was key in advancing the legislation, are Reps. Chris Smith, R-N.J., Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., Ted Deutch D-Fla., Kay Granger R-Texas, Marc Veasey D-Texas, and Pete Roskam, R-Ill.

Congressional leadership backed the bill. Rep. Ed Royce, R-Calif., the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, commended the bill for encouraging the adoption of a uniform definition of anti-Semitism.

“Absent a clear-eyed definition of anti-Semitism, perpetrators of violent attacks have at times been given a pass for their actions due to the flimsy defense of political protest,” Royce said in his remarks on the House floor prior to the vote.

“Adoption across Europe of a single definition of anti-Semitism would provide an important foundation for law enforcement officials, enabling them to better enforce laws and develop strategies for improved security for the Jewish community.”
