ICYMI, the ACLU is weighing in opposing the House bill (to be voted in imminently) to legislate the IHRA definition of antisemitism (the Antisemitism Awareness Act - HR 6090). This is consistent with the ACLU's position since this effort first started back in 2016.

1/
Per the ACLU's 4/26/24 letter to Congress, legislating this definition "would lead to more censorship on campus, and change the nature of universities, which exist to promote the free flow of information and marketplace of ideas..."
"While we wholly support efforts to fight discrimination & harassment through Title VI complaints & investigations, we strongly oppose use of the IHRA definition, or any definition of discrimination that threatens to censor or penalize political speech protected by the 1st Amdt."

Another heads up! As the House gets set to pass legislation that would codify/endorse the IHRA definition of antisemitism on US campuses, 2 members of Congress who back that bill have helpfully given us a hint at the future they they envision

1/
Reminder: the SOLE PURPOSE of codifying the IHRA definition is to legally enforce the conflation of criticism/protest of Israel/Zionism with antisemitism, so as to delegitimize/punish/quash/chill ideas/criticism/protest that doesn’t align with unconditional support for Israel.
2/
What might that look like? We don’t need to speculate because 2 House reps are getting set to introduce complementary legislation to add extremely sharp teeth to the IHRA definition on campus.

Hi all. Nerdy policy wonk who follows Congress closely weighing in with a thread on legislation (getting no media coverage) moving rapidly through Congress that targets US non-profit orgs, with the immediate & explicit target being orgs involved in Palestine protesting.

1/
I'm talking here about a bipartisan legislation the House passed last week (382-11) & that was intro'd last week in the Senate -- HR 6408 & S. 1436.

2/

This will gives a single US official authority to strip US non-profits orgs of their non-profit status in a peremptory manner, w/ virtually no limitations, accountability, or meaningful recourse, based merely on his declaration they are “terrorist supporting organizations”

I’m getting lots of journalists asking me about this story and this quote:

“The Biden administration made clear to the Palestinians that current U.S. law compels the administration to veto such a resolution or defund the UN, a U.S. official said."

Here are the facts:
1/
Fact 2: There is no US law compelling the Admin to veto such a resolution.

2/
Fact 2: there are two pieces of law that would, indeed require the US to de-fund the UN if this resolution were to pass.

Rosen (D-NV) et al have intro'd new far-reaching legislation on antisemitism...at the center of which is of course the IHRA definition & the conflation of antisemitism w/ criticism of Israel &/or Zionism. A quick breakdown of IHRA-related elements in this bipartisan bill.

1/
(A) It includes an overarching Sense of Congress that the IHRA definition "should be utilized by Federal, State, and 20 local agencies" -- in direct contradiction to Biden Admin's non-centering/endorsing of the IHRA definition of antisemitism as part of its antisemitism strategy
(B) It includes an overarching statement defining antisemitism according to the definition included "in section 3 of the 25 Never Again Education Act (36 U.S.C. 2301 note)" -- which is, in fact, the IHRA definition w/o attribution to IHRA or listing its examples.

Full article: Antisemitism and Zionism: The Internal Operations of the IHRA Definition - indispensable, timely research/analysis from Neve Gordon tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
“The analysis reveals that the IHRA definition of antisemitism serves as a counterinsurgency tool aimed at shielding Israel from resistance to its oppressive form of racial governance and, following its recent war on Gaza, from accusations of genocidal violence.”
