Would you agree that Jews are already protected under the Civil Rights Act of 1964? Yes or No.
"Yes", I would assume. Correct? What this bill would do, and it is on the dovetails of Trump EO's that expired, as outlined in the bill itself, is to CODIFY a law that Jews, as a group, are to be treated with a favoritism unlike any other group, in Federal law enforcement activities, and in the Department of Education, and in the distribution of funds which it makes, and in decisions of institutions that comprise our "learning" establishments.
It is not about discimination. It is about elevating world Jewry to an EXCEPTIONAL and NEW LEVEL of UNIQUE TREATMENT, when speaking and writing of history, finance, entertainment, foreign affairs, ETC.
(There is important emphasis on certain "historical positions" of the elites in World Jewry here, and some Jews disagree, so it's not only about elevating Jews, but narratives and worldviews.)
Here is the relevant segment of the "working definition" the bill seeks to CODIFY. A police force and/or beaurocratic detective force on the Federal level would be charged with finding and stopping instances in education, or in public which could be construed as:
Manifestations might include the targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity. However, criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic. Antisemitism frequently charges Jews with conspiring to harm humanity, and it is often used to blame Jews for “why things go
wrong.” It is expressed in speech, writing, visual forms and action, and employs sinister stereotypes and negative character traits.
Contemporary examples of antisemitism in public life, the media,schools, the workplace, and in the religious sphere could, taking into account the overall context, include, but are not limited to:
• Calling for, aiding, or justifying the killing or harming of Jews in the name of a radical ideology or an extremist view of religion.
• Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective —
such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or
other societal institutions.
• Accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group, or even for acts committed by non-Jews.
Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.
• Denying the fact, scope, mechanisms (e.g. gas chambers) or intentionality of the genocide of the Jewish people at the hands of National Socialist Germany and its supporters and accomplices during World War II (the Holocaust).
• Accusing the Jews as a people, or Israel as a state, of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust.
• 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.
• 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.
• Applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.
• Using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel
or Israelis.
• Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.
• Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel.
Antisemitic acts are criminal when they are so defined by law (for example, denial of the Holocaust or distribution of antisemitic materials in some countries).
Criminal acts are antisemitic when the targets of attacks, whether they are people or property—such as buildings, schools, places of worship and cemeteries—are selected because they are, or are perceived to be,Jewish or linked to Jews.
