Notably, the state department has adopted this clearly unconstitutional provision:
https://www.state.gov/defining-antisemitism/
Amongst the definitions:
• Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations. (While I understand the sentiment, how do you accuse an Israeli spy w/o violating this? An American lobbyist for Israel? A talking head blatantly putting Israeli interests above Americas'? Why no provision for Chinese, Russian, Iranian, Mexican Americans?)
• Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a state of Israel is a racist endeavor. (We accused SAfrica of this, we accuse enemy countries of worse)
• Applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation. (This accusation has been made plenty during current conflict by the state of Israel)
• Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis. (lol why? Zero nuance allowed?)
