I still haven’t seen an explanation as to why the Jews and Israel can’t be subjected to the same criticisms as everyone else under the First Amendment. From Eric Peters at ericpetersautos.com:
When the Left was in charge, any speech that disagreed with the narratives being pushed by the Left – for example, that “masks” served to “stop the spread” – was delegitimized as “misinformation.” Now that the Right is in charge, any criticism of the policies or actions of the government of the state of Israel is about to be criminalized.
A vote was scheduled to take place in the House this week on something called the Anti-Boycott Act (H.R. 867) that, if it becomes law, will legitimize federal prosecution of anyone who “participates” in boycotts of Israel or its “settlements,” as its land seizures, forcible evictions and occupations of land previously settled by other people are styled.
That comment just indicted me – potentially. Under the tenets of H.R. 867, I could face a fine of up to $1 million and potentially 20 years in prison. Such comments, you see, constitute “anti-Semitism,” a crime far worse than raping underage girls (i.e., the Epstein list) which the institutional Right stopped caring about very shortly after it took power away from the Left. There is now “no specific timeline” for the dangled promise of arrests that are likely to never happen – because those criminals are not a priority.

I don’t believe the law will stand the test against the 1st Amendment of the Constitution, but that will be seen. This one will go all the way to the supreme court if it passes, because aipac wants it to be law.
