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.

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.

I was going off this: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-resolution/485/text/ih?format=txt

I realize how my post can be a bit misleading now. I put up a link to his rough draft, and the one that's in Congress doesn't actually resolve shit.

I'll go a step further. Restore East Palestine to its rightful owners.

Restore all Palestine

Ermagerd, the courts struck down our law as completely contravening freedom of speech! The courts must be abolished!

Maybe they should review the First Amendment first.
