People are suddenly paying attention to laws in states quashing free speech critical of Israel.

What most people don’t know is that these laws are being used as a template for legislation quashing free speech on other topics.

A quick thread.

I warned back in 2018 - U.S. Politicians Are Backing a Free Speech Exception for Israel — & Creating a Template for Broader Assault on the First Amendment.

In conjunction with his intro of an outrageous res bashing @Ilhan @AOC & @RepPressley, Waltz (R-FL) has helpfully compiled a doc containing what he apparently sees as the evidence of their anti-Israel, antisemitic ways. Let’s review!

Too many “we-support-peace people have for years kept their heads in the sand about the clear intentions behind Israeli policies... 1/
... & about the constant and ever-escalating violations of their basic rights and dignities these policies that inflict on Palestinians. 2/
Good intentions, loving peace, holding on to “hope” - it has long been clear that without turning these into actions, they are just stories people who are privileged by the status quo tell themselves... 3/

@elgindy_ :“They aren’t hands-off in underwriting the occupation; they’re hands-off in terms of things that could help Palestinians or mitigate conflict…"

New thread ft. Members of Congress who've been silent re Israeli actions related to Sheikh Jarrah & Haram a-Sharif/Temple Mt, but who are now moved to speak on missiles being fired into Israel (which, to be clear, is a war crime - but the selective empathy/outrage is striking):
