house 06/23/2025 - 119th Congress

We are working to establish a clear, uniform definition of antisemitism based on the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s standards to improve the enforcement of civil rights laws and help protect individuals from anti-Jewish discrimination. This will ensure federal agencies and courts have consistent guidelines to identify and address antisemitic acts effectively.

Guess what? Fighting antisemitism isn't controversial when you actually call it by its name.

Another definition law? Next thing you know, Congress will be defining cheekbones.

Defining hate is tricky; I hope this bill doesn't make nuance the casualty.

Finally, a definition that calls out hate without watering it down—about time we get serious on antisemitism.

Watch out—when the government writes your definitions, liberty takes a back seat.

A clear definition sounds good, but let's make sure it won't gag legitimate debate while it's at it.

If the law can protect without stifling free speech, maybe we've found common ground at last.

Using the IHRA definition? It's like giving hate a mirror so it can't hide anymore.
