The U.S. Senate on Thursday passed the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act, which seeks to adopt the U.S. State Department's definition of anti-Semitism so that the Education Department may consider it in investigating reports of religiously [?] motivated campus crimes ... The bill is supported by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the Anti-Defamation League, the Jewish Federations of North America, and the Simon Wiesenthal Center ... The bill has attracted criticism from groups including Palestine Legal and Jewish Voice for Peace, who say the proposed definition of anti-Semitism wrongly conflates any criticism of Israel with anti-Jewish sentiments.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today hailed Senate passage of the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act, legislation which provides important guidance for the Department of Education and the Department of Justice for federal anti-discrimination investigations involving anti-Semitism, including on campus ... ADL played a central role in working with U.S. Senators Tim Scott (R-SC) and Bob Casey (D-PA) in crafting and promoting the legislation. The League also urged the House of Representatives to approve the legislation before adjournment later this month.


Disgraceful US Anti-Semitism Awareness Act

... Unanimous Senate passage of the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act is a bone to Israel and AIPAC, its main US lobby. House passage followed by Obama signing it into law is virtually certain. The measure has nothing to do with addressing a growing number of "religiously motivated hate crimes" - everything to do with targeting vitally needed Israeli criticism and BDS support, especially on college campuses ... It disgracefully conflates justifiable criticism of Israel with attempts to "delegitimize" its status as a Jewish state, along with wanting it held accountable for crimes of war, against humanity and other human rights abuses.
