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.

Double plus bad

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.

Getting it out while I still can: Free Palestine!

[–] faab64@freefree.ps 9 points 17 hours 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'

Have you heard of Germany?

[–] shaserlark@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

German politicians and media are absolutely bloodthirsty psychos, they will go at any length to shield the Zionists and make sure they’ll be able to finish their genocide. Plus the whole Iran thing backing Israel‘s illegal attack while being all "Woman Life Freedom“.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Yeah why are you telling me though I'm aware

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago (4 children)

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

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

Not abolished, just uncorrupted. Which... might look like abolishment for a time.

As someone who is Jewish this is insanity.

silly leftists, free speech is for racists

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 12 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

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."

[–] Thebigguy@lemmy.ml 9 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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?“

[–] Xavienth@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 10 hours ago

It's interesting, because Americans will be laughing at an entirely different interpretation of the joke, like "lol the Soviets think American reality is American propaganda because our lives are so great."

Reminder that the KKK still hasn't been outlawed.

[–] faab64@freefree.ps 22 points 1 day ago

@Rom that is free speech and protected by being white.

[–] teagrrl@lemmy.ml 25 points 1 day ago

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

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 60 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's fucked up and unconstitutional (not that it matters to Trumo and co) but I will say it FREE PALESTINE!!! and for good measure FUCK ISRAEL FUCKING NAZIS.

Now I am going go touch some grass, I am done with these fucking racist fascist.

[–] faab64@freefree.ps 41 points 1 day ago (29 children)

@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.

Meanwhile, literal nazis are allowed to say "Blood and soil!" or "Jews will not replace us!" and the House will say "There's good people on both sides."

[–] Samsuma@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 day ago

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

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.”

"That's a funny way to spell "destroy Israel""

Insanity

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 9 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

How many wars and genocides does Israel have to be involved in before "Destroy Israel" becomes a more popular slogan?

Nobody seems shy about saying "Destroy Russia" or "Break up China" or even "Invade Mexico". Hell, nobody seems shy about saying "Nuke Iran". Beginning to think there might be some kind of regional political bias to which countries we're allowed to fantasize about demolishing.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

Yeah obviously any countries the old white people hate are oltologivally evil and we can go explode them but if they like them then it's illegal to disagree. I love living in such a free country

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day 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 7 points 19 hours 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.
