In recent weeks, I have become deeply concerned about efforts to expand the definition of antisemitism in a manner that will, wittingly or unwittingly, restrict constitutionally protected speech and religious expression. That concern was brought into sharp relief at the latest hearing on antisemitism where Christian views and beliefs were targeted as “antisemitic” for merely expressing concerns about the ongoing conflation between criticism of the state of Israel and anti-Jewish animus.
