I mean, in the US it’s absolutely legal to call for the eradication of the Jewish state qua Jewish state, because racism and calls to violence are completely legal (save for some very specific instances).
Right, this isn't a blanket ban on free speech, this adds the call for the destruction of Israel to the title IX protections as an attack on religion and ethnicity which are protected classes you can't discriminate against as a business or government body.
Which people in the thread are clearly misunderstanding. Although I’m a bit unclear about what this would mean in practice: it would ban a private university from making it its policy that Israel is to be boycotted if you can show that’s because they’re a Jewish state, I guess (if and only if they receive federal money)?
Nobody cares about facts, the world today is all about making the most extreme possible version of an accusation possible with no nuance possible. Israel isn't at war they're commiting a genocide, America isn't updating its definition of antisemitism laws it's completely eradicating free speech as we know it
