The ad campaigns didn’t work, going after colleges didn’t work, social media is constantly buzzing with new pictures and videos from palestine even though they tried to clamp down on TikTok and even some Reddit boards are starting to turn around on this whole thing.

This is the “Break Glass In Case of Emergency” option. They had the House vote on condemning anti-semitism and now they want to fuse anti-semitism, hatred of jewish people, with anti-zionism, which is criticism of the Is*aeli government. Next step is to pass laws that allow you to legally silence and deplatform anyone not towing the line.

    Funny how they have all this energy for anti-zionism but any time someone floats an anti-fascist/anti-nazi resolution through the UN, it’s crickets out of the Amerikans. Motherfuck Amerika, motherfuck Israel, motherfuck anyone who demands my physical support of either monstrous entity

    If this passes, will the USians finally stop harping about how wonderful their free speech is?

    Surely it has to be a hugely dangerous precedent to legislate against, uh, criticizing a country? Surely that tramples over some highly valued concept of free speech. I have to wonder if they would extend the same consideration to just about any other country, race or religion on the planet.

    Can’t wait for them to try and make it illegal to call someone a fascist or war criminal.
