On Wednesday, the US House of Representatives passed a bill to enshrine in law a definition of antisemitism that includes anti-Zionist messages. It’s an egregious attack on free speech — and one that gravely insults the memory of millions of anti-Zionist Jews.
Something tells me that Congress isn’t too concerned with protecting the self-determination of Bundists and would be quite irked at any attempt to resurrect the Bund in the US. Though, with the resurgent popularity of labor groups, maybe there’s an opportunity there…
That said, your post got me thinking…
I know there are many varying opinions being shared at the many protests in support of the Palestinians, but I wonder if there’s some appreciable nuance in the IRHA definition where one could claim they aren’t saying any State of Israel is a racist endeavor, but this particular one is.
