Didn’t you hear? Congress just expanded the definition of antisemitism, criticizing Zionism or the state of Israel is now doing hate crimes.
I mean you can still attack people of color while screaming racial epithets and get booked for a misdemeanor, but criticizing a state? Hate crime.
This is totally progressive because we have to protect all of our white passing minorities with deep pockets, they’re clearly the most disadvantaged minority in America…
As a POC it’s kinda disheartening to see just how quickly Congress can move to protect “minority” groups when it suits them. It took them a year of targeted violence against Asian people that culminated with a murder spree for them to attempt anything. Now Israeli nationalist physically attack peaceful protestors and they make it illegal to criticize an entire state?
I feel bad for the Jewish people standing up to their governments genocidal intent. The only logical conclusion of the American and Israeli government forced conflation of ethnicity and state is a rise in actual antisemitism.
