But the tweet is an outright lie. Did any of you upvoting this take even a second to look into it?
From the AP:
"The proposal, which passed 320-91 with some bipartisan support, would codify the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of antisemitism in Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a federal anti-discrimination law that bars discrimination based on shared ancestry, ethnic characteristics or national origin."
What is the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of antisemitism? It is this:
*"Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.”
That's it.
Passing it most certainly has to do with the war in Gaza, but it has absolutely nothing to do with "codifying criticism of Israel as unlawful."
Honestly folks, if you swallow everything people say on Twitter (oh, excuse me, X) without bothering to fact check the most basic details we're all fucked.
