Here’s an example that may help:
There are 100,000 Jews in Australia. Antisemitism is surging there, too. If they get kicked out, they only have one place they can go. Israel. That’s it. We’re not taking 100,000 Jews from Australia, nor is any other country. Except Israel.

I also push on Israel because I need it to succeed. Jews need a Jewish state. That is non-negotiable. Nearly all Jews live in two places - here and Israel. That’s not by choice.
I criticize Israel when I think the government is making mistakes. I do so in part because I desperately want to be part of a generation of leaders that finally achieves a durable peace for everyone in the Middle East - Israelis, Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians, etc.
I’m a pro-Israel Jew who criticizes Israel, as we all do. I sometimes fly to Israel to be sure I look the Prime Minister in the eye and tell him my frustrations and disagreements with decisions he’s made. I believe it has had an impact.
Denying Jews self-determination, or anti-Zionism, is wrong. Denying Palestinians self-determination is also wrong, and why most pro-Israel advocates are also pro-Palestinian.
It’s the folks who believe that only one group deserves security and freedom that is problematic.
It’s so important for Marjorie Taylor Greene to maintain this blood libel, and to do so without consequences, that she opposes this bill.
Some on the Left suggest that the legislation prohibits criticism of Israel.
It does not.
Whether any of us want to admit it, antisemitism is alive and well all across the political spectrum – and across the world.
Some on the Right like to spread the lie that Jews killed Jesus, which is the kind of blood libel that gets Jews killed.
Anti-Zionism is different from being critical of the Israeli government. Anti-Zionism is the position that Israel should not be allowed to exist as a Jewish State.
Israelis criticize their government and, unlike so many other countries in the Middle East, are allowed to protest their government openly.
The bill allows for criticism of policies or actions of the Israeli government, which is exactly how it should be.
The bill requires colleges to use this definition in building out trainings and teachings that help to combat antisemitism. That’s it. It doesn’t punish any speech or stop anyone from being hateful.
It uses the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (IHRA) working definition for antisemitism but nowhere in the bill does it punish people for this antisemitism.
Here is a quick summary of the definition, which I hope folks read.

The bill emphasizes:
➡️Awareness and understanding
➡️Reversing the normalization of antisemitism through education
➡️Expanding communication and collaboration.
This is about giving people the tools to learn about antisemitism and how it is often expressed around the world. It is education and awareness, not punishment.
It does say that some things are antisemitic, which is pretty basic stuff, but it doesn’t outlaw anyone’s 1st amendment rights.
Trump’s actions have had a chilling effect on free speech.
But this legislation doesn’t curb free speech.
Despite what you may hear online, the Antisemitism Awareness Act does not infringe on free speech.
But if he wants to fight antisemitism, he would work with groups like the American Jewish Committee (AJC) that partners with organizations on how to identify and combat anti-Semitism without infringing on anyone’s 1st amendment rights.

Trump’s actions on campuses have not helped. Campuses have become hotbeds of antisemitism that have sparked a debate about where the line between protecting the rights and freedoms of Jews and free speech is.
This is legislation that has been worked on for years, and should pass with unanimous, bipartisan support.
Why is it controversial? A few reasons…
It’s really important to teach people, especially students, what antisemitism is and isn’t, and how important it is to work together to combat antisemitism.
That’s what the Antisemitism Awareness Act does.
