    AIPAC must be registered as an foreign actor. My taxes aren't for Israel.
  • @jamieg9607
    I’ve never seen one country have so much power in the US.
  • @brianagp_
    I get what the white folks mean when they talk about Jewish folks now.
  • @TallulahSoie
    This is a gross infringement on the first amendment. We already have laws for harassment, abuse, and threats. Enforce those.
  • @alpine7313
    The "most oppressed people in the world" except it's fucking illegal to criticize them. Checks out.

    "To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize."

    So protecting Israel's image>the first amendment. -_-
  • The Uniparty disgusts me. We need to vote Anti-Incumbent this year,
  • @scotthawkins28
    It is very simple; you either have freedom of speech or you don’t. So with this vote, we do not have freedom of speech in this “country”.
  • The Jews Killed Jesus. There, now when this bill passes I can now be arrested. I look forward for that lawsuit.

    Meanwhile, my Muslim friend has had her tires slashed and she lives in fear due to hostility directed towards Muslims. It's a shame, but since she's not Jewish, too bad for her I guess. Interestingly, Semitic describes a group of languages, including Hebrew and Arabic, as well as the people who traditionally speak them. Semitic is rooted in the Biblical name Shem, the son of Noah, who is traditionally thought of as the direct ancestor of the Jews AND Arabs. However, antisemitism apparently only includes hostility to, prejudice towards, or discrimination against Jews alone. So it's apparently ok to be hostile towards, be prejudiced and discriminate against Arabs and Muslims all you want.

    Can we still criticize when Isreal bombed the USS Liberty for 6 hours killing our innocent men and women.

    No dual citizens or dual loyalties in America's government! No Marxism, DEI or anti-American ideologies taught or implemented in America's schools or workplaces! No foreign aid! No AIPAC! No more wars for Israel and the WEF! Close and defend the borders! 🦅 Save 🗽 America! 🇺🇸

    Imagine being a people so annoying, disgusting, and sneaky, they have to pass laws against hating you
  • @patrickmace5340
    So now the first amendment no longer applies? Remember this election day. Vote absolutely everyone in office out.
  • @carmenvelez3327
    Free the Constitution, free the USA from AIPAC and Israel, free the first amendment. We are doomed.
