Love it or hate it - on Monday the House will vote on HR 1867, “The IGO Boycott Act”, the current iteration of the “Israel Anti-Boycott Act” - to impose harsh penalties, incl fines/jail on Americans who, in line with their values/political views, boycott Israel or settlements. 1/
As covered in the 2/27/25 edition of the Round-Up:

“HR 1867, like its predecessors, seeks to amend/expand current US anti-boycott law. That law is based on the idea of preventing US citizens from being **compelled or coerced** into boycotting Israel… 2/
“…as a condition for doing business abroad under the Arab League Boycott of Israel (which included coercive secondary sanctions).” 3/

The fact that backers of the Antisemitism Awareness Act were caught flat-footed by today’s Senate hearing, where there was strong opposition from BOTH sides of aisle to legislating criticism of Israel=antisemitism, shows what happens when you fall for your own false framing. 1/
The false framing here is that the AAA is opposed only by far-left Democrats who allegedly want to enable antisemitism (to be vilified & mocked) & far-right GOP-ers worried they won’t be allowed to say the Jews killed Christ (to be mollified with a chair’s amdt to the bill) 2/
In reality mainstream GOP-ers & Libertarians have long expressed STRONG opposition to the AAA, both on grounds that it violates the 1st Amdt & that it is a form of stealth DEI. They came out in force last year, after House passage of the AAA (receipts at end of this thread). 3/

ICYMI, next week the Senate HELP Committee will be voting on (& for sure passing) 2 bills intended to enable - indeed, to require - the wholesale suppression & punishment of campus free speech/protest critical of Israel, Israeli policies/actions, & Zionism.

1/
1st - the return of the Antisemitism Awareness Act (S 558). Love it or hate it, this bill seeks to enact/enforc the IHRA definition & its examples into Title VI, in order to define criticism/protest of Israel as antisemitism (& once IHRA is law here, apply it elsewhere).

2/
2nd - the Protecting Students on Campus Act (S 163). Love it or hate it, this bill is explicitly about facilitating students complaints re: alleged antisemitism on campus. Coupled with S 558, this bill enables the wholesale suppression/punishment of criticism of Israel.

Over the past 2 yrs, and especially these days, I’ve been thinking a lot about the unquestioned assumptions that define the worldview of many Jewish Americans when it comes to the ideas of safety and vulnerability — a 🧵 (excerpted from a recent essay I wrote, link at the end). Image

Celebrating Purim in Jerusalem by lynching/shooting a Palestinian and getting away with it - a 🧵

As you read this, imagine the exact same scenario if the victim were an Israeli and how differently it would play out both in Israeli court & in the world media. Image
Palestinian in downtown Jerusalem attacked — incl being shot — by mob shouting “death to Arabs” - Image
Victim attacked for being Palestinian in an area where attackers don’t want to see any Palestinians… Image

Israelis' embrace of Trump plan to ethnically cleanse deliberately hides the fact that this has been an Israeli aspiration/plan for decades that was immediately energized/normalized after 10/7/23. Just a few receipts for those with short memories, covering just Oct 2023-Jan 2024:
