House member says Antisemitism Awareness bill protects speech, doesn't allow for hatred
#Antisemitism #Palestine #Israel
So you can criticize Americans not Israelis??
Bs
Worse part is he's gaslighting & not one push back on the words in the bill. This is gold for a anchor. They said nothing.
Yes
You can criticize children with cancer, just not the Jews 😂
Just white Americans.
Calling for a genocide to stop is not anti semitic.
There’s no genocide.
Exactly
Their "definitions" like their proofs change over time or are altered due to reasonable challenges or inquiry, which is why they prefer to handle them with a decisive action. The definition of antisemitism is verrrry broad, similarly to the wide definition of what constitutes "a survivor".. Some people are ALWAYS worried about the truth being told, because they cannot afford for that to happen
The power to define is held by Jews and the politicians they fed.
Then why’d you attack? 🤡
Wow, no one is going to mention that this is a violation of our 1st amendment. Journalism has taken a turn for the worst. They just sat there and let him spew this garbage. Do your job as a journalist and ask the questions we are all asking. Pathetic
Precisely! It also means, as a Christian, I cannot say the Jews killed Jesus - 1 Thessalonians 2:15 This principle is key to Christian faith. They just outlawed the New Testament. JESUS IS LORD AND KING
@@Kev-3006 Well to be fair it was the Pharisees who killed Jesus and there were even some cool Pharisees like Nichodemus.
@@kingkoi6542 100% true!! I should have been more specific. And yes, Nicodemus is a fascinating character.

@@sonotdown998 Actually I’m not. I carry the dna. I just don’t like bullies. I care for Israel but NOT Netanyahu! Murdering children and aid workers solves nothing.
Why do Israeli government supporters keep telling others that they are saying things they aren’t saying ?! People have a right to their own voice. Coverage has been outrageously one sided in this. Re-defining what others are saying as hate speech is wrong.
Including Jewish people who oppose Zionism.
There’s proof of everything. Your gaslighting doesn’t work.
Left and right are two wings of the same bird.
Coverage has been nothing but one-sided in EVERYTHING associated with this people.. the indignation would be greater, IF people knew the truth.. They're afraid of the truth, not propaganda, which they use often on the non-discerning masses.. Its a spiritual warfare because of all of these demons, devils, ba'als, and these witches.

Educated people who read books all know the quote. Google search knows who the quote is. You have no excuse to not know where the quote is from
Protesting against apartheid and genocide is not antisemitic.
Not protesting against the October 7 attack is.
These people r calling for genocide from the river to the sea. While protesting genocide. Hilarious
The only people commiting genocide are Palestinians against the native Israeli population.
They are buzz words. They don't have a clue. They don't want to know the truth. They don't want to know. Ask them Why all the Tunnels and not one child could use them but Hamas did not one family could use the tunnels but Hamas did. And why did they have All the tunnels. Hamas sold the people out for the money for the money for the muhallh in Iran. When they come for them. They will scream You must help me.

So your Social media had a Post and you jumped on the band wagon. Your a sad flying monkey. Wake up for you put Trump back in the White House. And the whole world is watching you due it.

Does anyone at MSNBC ever think to ask how much in donations these politicians are getting from AIPAC? Including the President of our dear United States? No? 😅
They can't because apparently it's against the law now.
MSNBC, FOX. All of them. Right Left and Center
They probably get donations from the same people.
I guess we’re no longer allowed to criticise a foreign country that we send countless billions to every year.
THATS PART...... We Need to WAKE UP.... Revelation 2:9
Over 300 000 000 000 dollars so far if adjusted by inflation.
Intifada means to shake off the Israeli occupation. What on earth is wrong with that?
It's call for Jihadism.
@@KingPingviiniit’s a struggle for national liberation
@@KingPingviini so?
Really "Antisemitism"? Most of us are done with tis term. It has been used as a "get out jail free card" for to long.
Right?!
Yes!!!
Exactly.
Zionism is a nationalistic settler colonial apartheid movement that was founded by a group of secular Jewish people that have committed acts of terrorism. Zionism is not a religion. Judaism is not Zionism. Zionism is not Judaism. “Between the sea and the Jordan there will be only Israeli sovereignty” has been part of the Israeli Likud Party’s manifesto since 1977. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?
He's also lying. The bill says opposite
Zionism is not Judaism just like ISIS is not Islam. Criticizing the apartheid and genocidal regime of Israel is not antisemitic just like criticzing the barbaric and terrorist regime of Saudi Arabia is not Islamophobia.
YOUR HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ZIONISM IS. And furthermore, I totally reject your assertion that Israel is an apartheid and genocidal regime. YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU”RE TALKING ABOUT.
@@davidreidenberg9941lol
But Isis were muz lem extremists. By that logic zogs are clearly j3.i$*h extremists. Let's see how long it takes before they delete this Fact.
@@davidreidenberg9941 who cares what you think. you're wrong.
spot on comparison
A 6 year old Palestinian boy and his mother were killed by their landlord. Where’s your outrage
What kind of inbreed argument is that.
So I can criticize my own government, but it's automatically antisemitic if I criticize the Apartheid regime of Israel? Also, intifada means an uprising. According to international law, uprising and resistance against an occupier is legal.
Nope. You can’t criticize its existence without consequences. Grow up and stop lying.
To find out who rules over you, find out who you’re not allowed to criticize
If there is any silver lining at all, it’s that US foreign policy hypocrisy is more evident than ever. The illusion of Israel has also been shattered for so many people as well.
Tells you who is the big boss
Those in power today won the election by getting money support from AIPAC, go figure.
When everything is antisemitism, nothing is antisemitism.
Anti. f@da - armed resistance is completely legal. According to international law Every occupied nation has the right to resist.
“Armed” isn’t even part of the definition of intifada; however, Zionists have used arms to steal land the land of others and terrorize others from the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River since at least 1946.
@@darthtechnologies553 Israel is not Jews. Zionism is not Judaism. Judaism is not Zionism. Theodor Herzl was a secular Jewish person. Zionists are no more Judaism than ISIL is Islam.
They never stated their definition of antisemitism
Saying anything bad about Iz Rel's actions is anti-semitism...
Antifada does not mean armed resistance in Arabic, intifada simply means resistance. And protesting is a form of intifada
Disgusting
Mind Begs the Question: - Protocols of Zion - Deemed a Fabricated Document - If Protocols can be seen being signed into Law - Fabricated Document or Plan Document?
you can curse anything thing sacred but you can't criticize the brutal acts of a government.
I'm sorry you feel this way, I myself am frustrated with the the government too but more specifically with the Legislature, I'm sure many here feel the same way, so you see we look at our problems differently, I'm sorry but it is quite frustrating when things don't go our way, but change will come as it always does here, it best to let others know what the problem is specifically so a solution could be worked out. Even if you're from outside the US, people can read your comments and be familiar with your hardships, this is a good way to talk about your problems.
@@MyHalcyonDaysAreHere Thanks for your feelings. It is important for voters to be educated on this matter and use their votes to school these corrupt politicians. Making them feel their political future is not guaranteed, is the only language they understand.
Someone please explain to me, what do we owe Israel? Why should we/I give blanket approval of its actions and accept responsibility for the loss of tens of thousands of innocent lives including many thousands of children?
Because AIPAC Pays our Politician ALOT of money during elections to get them elected... thus they control them with money.... literally...
they've done decades of lobbying in our govt and in evangelical churches which are among their bigger supporters, their version of the Bible helped enable this rethoric, hope that explains a bit

Intifada ( انتفاضة intifāḍah) is an Arabic word for a rebellion or uprising, or a resistance movement. It can be used to refer to an uprising against oppression.
Thank you!
No country other than Israel has used these definitions to make them law. Why don’t you disclose the definitions of antisemitism in the bill which makes it illegal to criticize the State of Israel or ANY Jewish person who supports them including American politicians….even if they have taken money from AIPAC.
That’s not the bill. Don’t lie.
Don't forget, it is also illegal to boycott 1srael in 38 US states.
@@the-bob-holly-podcastdont forget in some states you have to pledge loyalty to Israel to get access to support in case of natural disasters.
Is there a bill like this for anyone else, specifically?
How About THE USA! WE NEED IT!
Nope that bill is reserved for Israel. Lol we can protest the American founding fathers but not the Israeli ones! Ridiculous.
@@seeekerman1342 go back to school.
@@seeekerman1342 No, no we do not. It’s UN-American and it is cowardice. Freedom is scary, deal with it.

A surprise to no one Gottheimer receives AIPAC money.
She's right it is dispicable, do not bring up the holocaust to shield yourself from the consequences of your wrong doings, you weren't even alive then
“Between the sea and the Jordan there will be only Israeli sovereignty.” ~ from the Israeli Likud party’s election manifesto in 1977.
Intifada (انتفاضة) : means “uprising”. Palestinians have a right to uprise and rebel against military occupation and apartheid that has been imposed on them by Israel for 58 years.
People aren't buying the media's nonsense anymore. They're terrified and it's hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣
This is normally a great moment for a anchor & they didn't say anything. Pull up the bill & confront him on the lie. Stunning
As children, we were taught that words have no value and to simply ignore bullying, yet as adults and policymakers, we’re literally implementing laws to protect groups from criticism. The irony of the times we live in.
But of course anti-China speech is encouraged, cuz it's not hatred.
They want everyone to hate Chinese and tiktok 😅
Does this mean we can't mention who murdered JFK anymore?
Or who was all over 9/11.
@@jonathandoe2316or the USS liberty
@@Michelle-rj4pj Or the Chinese advances in fighter jets. I could go on forever.
Under this bill it is now illegal to say that there are Js with more loyalty to Israel than their country of residence. How insane.
That is true. American zionists are betraying us and endanger our interests and soldiers.
Which is funny cause literally this bill proves that point You have freedoms to criticize America but Israel
@@Kmcgonigle0 it’s unreal. Next we’ll criminalize saying the sky is blue
Not the bill. lol.
They all let it go. No push back. Very fox news of them.
Want to find out who is in charge? Who is it that you cant criticize?
That student which was interrupted is a tiktoker who continuously wears an |$R@3| military shirt and tries to walk into the encampment…
(•‿•). Hahaha.
Hi want to silence everything to criticize the brutality military occupation of Palestine territory ...
Stop with BS.
Arm resistance from occupation
Armed does not define intifada to begin with but what’s truly rich is the fact arms that have been used by people resisting Zionist occupation, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing have been minuscule compared to what Zionist Israel government and settlers have used to steal land and terrorize others from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River since at least 1946.
You cannot mandate the way people FEEL and THINK. This will backfire eventually!
Democrat Jerry Nadler stood in opposition to the bill, and AIPAC.
🤯👏👏👏
The majority of Jewish House members voted against it.
Really ? Good to know. He's our Congressman.
@@MyHalcyonDaysAreHere Trust me, he is not your friend.
Overwhelmingly outvoted.
We need To put that BS up for Votes
Intifada definition makes no mention of "armed" resistance. Merely rebellion, uprising, or a resistance movement.
Remember who they really serve next time you give away your vote.
But..what about MY feelings!?
Apparently, this bill makes the New Testament illegal.
Yup! Indeed, it does. The Bible could be banned and preaching.
"intifada" just means uprising, the same word that is used to discribe the warsaw ghetto uprising in arabic.
Hmm? His "And everyone else sounded like an afterthought Criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country is not antisemitic. Israel doesn't get a pass to commit crimes against humanity.

Hatred is a human emotion, by passing a bill you can’t remove this emotion. Use common sense.
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” Congratulations you have just violated the first amendment, or you can pass a law similar for Muslims, Christian’s, Buddhist, etc.
Well, it was not peaceful assembly.
@@KingPingviini Correct
Unbelievable. This is the beginning of the end if this passes. You cannot punish people for speech unless they're threatening. I'm livid.

"the Jews killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets" -1 thes. will be banned?
It's about time the history repeating itself you will end up the same way, you never learn dude
Facism
Hamas are fascist.
Remember, before Trump burns America to the ground, Biden`s 1984 level censorship lit that match.
Intifada literally means rebellion or insurrection, palestineans literally live in concentration camps, anyone living in such conditions have a right to rebel against their oppressor, and this happened since the first day the Israel state was created by the British, they took the palestineans out of their homes and sent them to concentration camps
It censors the Bible.
Nope. Not at all.

My shocked face when there is turmoil in the middle East for the 3,500th year in a row. 😳
It was actually a quite successful empire before western intervention. Continuous intervention from western powers including military intervention, economic exploitation ie loans favoring the west and exploiting the oil industry both those create dependency on western powers. This intervention has been present since the 19th century and continues to destabilize the region.
They call that region armageddon for a reason
Where's the Racism Awareness Bill? Why isn't that passed in Congress?
We need fewer bills, not more restrictions.
The internal consortia in the United States are fighting and the American people are suffering.
Gottheimer should ask himself if he wouldn’t be more at home in the Israeli Knesset, representing his people in his ancestral homeland, and not Americans in U.S. Congress. He appeared to be unaware that no loyal American citizen is obligated to endorse Zionism or pledge an oath of allegiance to the Jewish state
The House member said guess where my campaign funds come from?
You don’t need a bill to protect Jewish students just in force your policies. It’s for after this war . That is also why they want to bring Palestinians here so there are less of them over there so they can have Gaza . That’s my best guess
We in our country have the first amendment of free speech which does allow freedom to exPress opinions even hate. As along as people do not use physical violence.
If Biden doesn't stop support for Gaza, I will not vote for him!
What support? Are you referring to humanitarian aid?
I got tired of waiting. Did any part of this video go into detail about what's in the bill? Did you post that clip somewheres else?
Is not Censorship. Its actually freespeech.
"What do you make of the fact that younger voters disagree with you?" "Oh, I just pretend you asked me a completely different question and that they actually do."
Foreign governments have no business dictating definitions for the purposes of US law. Israel especially has NO BUSINESS dictating what Americans can say about it.
Great, now I want to know if my state rep voted in favor of this, so I can vote for someone else.
The bill protects speech, and that's a classic double-speak.
Thirty pieces of silver will buy all but a few of the members of Congress.
"Truth fears no examination"
What in the flying fack is going on in this country.
Yep, it's not gonna be Kenneth Stern who takes the blame, it's gonna be the GOP.
🤣🤣🤣 Bringing legislation does nothing thwart the hatred spewed by corporate media!
If anything it gives credence to the dual loyalty trope of Jewish people They literally passed a law making banning criticism of Israel
Remember when democrats weren’t afraid of their own shadow? 🤔 Neither do I. 🤷♂️
they ARE TRAITORS.
Freedom of speech also includes our right to hate whoeever we want. This is unconstitutional
This what you call “double speak” for all the 1984 fans out there.
Do your job as a journalist and questioned his lies!!!!! getting utterly ridiculous.... 🙄🤮
If it really protects speech then it protects hateful speech as well.
To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.
Be aware its based on truths
See the issue I have with his response was that he equates "resistance" to "elimination of the Jews." That is a bad faith interpretation if I ever heard one.
No such thing as antisemitism. No community is immune from criticism.
The end of America
These people are hypocrites. They passed that bill so fast.
Can this bill be used against christians ? Do u know why i am asking this question. ?
I've always been friendly to Israel but this kind of insanity is making me reconsider
She sounds like Randy on My name is Earl when he insisted he could have been a great debater. “No you wouldn’t”… Randy: “Yes I would” repeat until Randy says he won the debate.

I'm not what you would call pro Palestinian. That said, the pro Palestinian protests I've seen on TV or internet seem pretty peaceful unlike a lot of what we saw after George floyd. Has there been violence and riots breaking out at any of these protests?
