People - in the US & Israel - who want to weaponize the fight against antisemitism to shut down criticism of Israel/Zionism are ecstatically seizing on Mamdani’s revoking of an EO, promulgated late in his term by his predecessor, adopting the IHRA definition of antisemitism. 1/
Their faux outrage is predicated on the assertion that the IHRA def is non-controversial, consensus, non-ideological/non-political.

In reality the IHRA def is fiercely opposed, contested, & criticized by scholars/experts of antisemitism, Jewish history, the Holocaust, etc. 2/
Their faux outrage is further predicated on the insistence that the IHRA def is vital to defeating antisemitism [“define it to fight it”]

What they mean is the IHRA def is vital to defeating free speech/protest for Palestinian lives/rights. 3/

Reminder: Don’t buy simplistic narratives about Jewish Americans & their views on Gaza, antisemitism, Zohrani, etc, presented by pro-Israel actors who pretend to represent all US Jews, but in fact deliberately invisibilize US Jews who disagree with them. A quick 🧵with receipts.
On war crimes/genocide: “Many American Jews sharply disapprove of Israel’s conduct of the war in Gaza, with 61% saying Israel has committed war crimes & about 4 in 10 saying the country is guilty of genocide against the Palestinians…”

Hill nerd here again. Remember the bill a while back, to let the Exec target non-profit status using allegations of support for terror, with no real recourse (dead for now)?

Now there’s an effort to apply this approach to target US citizens' passports, & it's moving fast! 1/
On 9/17/25 (this coming Weds) the House Foreign Affairs Committee will mark-up a set of bills (text just dropped) regarding the State Dept, including HR 5300, the "Department of State Policy Provisions Act" 2/

congress.gov/bill/119th-con…
See Sec 226: “No passports for terrorists & traffickers” - to allow passport denial/revocation for anyone charged (not convicted) with supporting an FTO, or who SecState "determines" has "knowingly aided, assisted, abetted, or otherwise provided material support to an FTO.“ 3/

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/
