The United States House of Representatives has passed a bill that would expand the federal definition of antisemitism. It is largely seen as a reaction to the ongoing Pro-Palestinian protests unfolding on university campuses across the country. The bill would now go to the Senate for consideration. If it were to become law, it would allow the Department of Education to restrict funding to universities perceived as tolerating antisemitism. However, critics say the law could be used to stifle campus protests against Israel's war in Gaza. Rights groups also say that the bill would conflate the criticism of the state of Israel with antisemitism.

It took couple of years for Palestinians to realise they were occupied, they had no say or rights. But it takes Americans(other than politicians) forever to learn they are also occupied.
