The US House of representatives is preparing to vote next week on a resolution that would deem “Free Palestine” to be “an antisemitic slogan.”

If anybody votes against this, they’ll say they voted to support Colorado terrorist attack.

@Fredselfish

We are really turning into 1920s red scare horror in the US.

Both liberal and fascists are united to crush the left. This time by hiding under antisemitism.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 17 points 4 months ago

they're not bothering to hide it because liberals and facists don't bother to look it up; aoc and bernie both voted for the last time something like this showed up and i bet that they're going to do it again.

Old Soviet Joke.

Two agents meet in a bar in Germany on the eve of the collapse of the Berlin Wall. The CIA agent says to the KGB agent, "Why do you continue to support the Soviet Union? You have no freedom in your country. Come to the United States. In our country, we can criticize our leaders. I can say 'Death to Ronald Reagan' and nobody will stop me."

The KGB agent shakes his head, smiling. "Why would I want to travel all the way to America in order to say that? In Moscow, we also say 'Death to Ronald Reagan' whenever we please."

Another one: A CIA agent and a KGB agent meet at a bar after talking for a while the KGB agent says to the CIA agent „You know one thing we really admire back in the USSR is your propaganda it’s really top notch“ the CIA agent looks confused and asks, „What propaganda?“

Congress can deem whatever they want, I'm gonna keep saying Free Palestine until Palestine is free.

[–] vala@lemmy.world 20 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Palestinian people are semetic.

Semetic does not exclusively mean Jewish.

Free speech protections are still in place, and this is why they are important. This resolution can't prevent people from saying it, just signals that the current house of representatives wants to.

[–] IttihadChe@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago

Peaceful protests are being quashed by the literal US military/national guard. There are videos of police specifically targeting people with signs/flags they don't like with "less lethals".

Before that campus protests calling for an end to genocide were quashed by local police.

People who attend either of these protests are being jailed and/or deported.

"Free speech" is a myth.

[–] Samsuma@lemmy.ml 15 points 4 months ago

so a slogan, that involves a semitic country with actual semitic roots, is antisemitic? Can't make this shit up.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Getting it out while I still can: Free Palestine!

[–] faab64@freefree.ps 10 points 3 months ago (2 children)

@Feathercrown US is the only country on earth that prosecutes it's citizens for criticizing anoter country and call for freedom of a third.

it puts a whole new meaning to "land of the free'

Do it, im gonna keep saying "Free Palestine!" regardless... these asshats are just trying to distract from their other shitty policies with this.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 4 months ago

Palestine will be free!

Fuck fascists.

[–] selkiesidhe@lemm.ee 10 points 4 months ago

This passes and those shitweasels will declare BLM is "an antiwhite slogan" and move to ban it the same way. Then test the waters for other things, like calling Yam Tits "Yam Tits"... Right to jail.

Guarantee this is what they're going for. Systematically destroying our freedoms.

@faab64 @palestine@lemmy.ml @palestine@a.gup.pe
This shows Republicans and people in power are really scared of a movement of solidarity among their own people, and rightly so, imo; it can topple them.
(Angela Davis said Palestine was the litmus test.)

It would be doubleplusungood, negative words like "bad" were discouraged

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Double down on that genocide, bitches, and the news/public will track the names of the ones that do.

[–] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Nah, the news won’t do that. They’re all owned by oligarchs who are responsible for the current state of the world. Corporate news is not on our side.

No one is coming to save us, we have to do it ourselves.

GOP Rep Introduces Resolution Labeling ‘Free Palestine’ Slogan as ‘Anti-Semitism’ - Activist Post (2025-06-15)

https://www.activistpost.com/gop-rep-introduces-resolution-labeling-free-palestine-slogan-as-anti-semitism/
———

>> Colorado GOP Congressman Gabe Evans introduced a non-binding resolution on Friday that labels ‘Free Palestine’ as “an antisemitic slogan.” The bill seeks to limit immigration of people who oppose Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine and Tel Aviv’s genocidal onslaught in the besieged Gaza Strip. The bill is expected to be voted on some time next week.

The bill reads, “Whereas, while shouting ‘Free Palestine,’ an antisemitic slogan that calls for the destruction of the state of Israel and Jewish people, Mohammed Sabry Soliman attacked the peaceful demonstrators with homemade Molotov cocktails.”

Gabe Evans is a fucking loser that barely won that district... but read this thing. Don't just take the headline at face-value, cause that's also wrong.

Read the fucking thing. Here it is again: https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:US:d2810458-ed0c-4ba8-9bb6-185c18b7c95c?viewer%21megaVerb=group-discover

Again, fuck Gabe Evans but this headline is sensationalist bullshit. Read the thing.

For the lazy:

Resolved, That the House of Representatives-- (1) condemns Mohammed Sabry Soliman and his antisemitic terrorist attack on peaceful demonstrators supporting the release of the hostages held by Hamas; (2) prays for the quick healing of the victims of Mohammed Sabry Soliman's antisemitic terrorist attack; (3) affirms that free and open communication between State and local law enforcement and their Federal counterparts remains the bedrock of public safety and is necessary in preventing terrorist attacks; and (4) expresses gratitude to law enforcement officers, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel, for protecting the homeland.

This is embarrassing, but i don't know how resolutions work and I was looking at the same thing and scratching my head.

Is it that along with resolution 1, you area agreeing to the second paragraph here:

Second paragraph

So it's this a "therefore" situation or a wrong headline and interpretation from news agencies? I have no idea.
