When someone is charged with a crime, we don't add five years onto a sentence because someone once spoke badly of a cow. This bill goes far beyond a mere definition or examples. It clearly targets protected speech. And This bill is incredibly broad. It's an attack on the First Amendment. It does not differentiate between actual anti Semitism and the legitimate criticism of Israel's genocide. And it would be wielded to shut down debate based on the opinion of the speaker rather than any actual harm caused. (00:38–00:42)
