South Carolina Legislature Mulls Bill to Help Fight Campus Anti-Semitism
by TheTower.org Staff | 02.26.17 9:44 am
A bill has been introduced in the South Carolina state legislature that would help fight anti-Semitism on college campuses by fully defining what exactly “anti-Semitism” means.
Bill H 3643 seeks to protect college students by employing the State Department’s definition of anti-Semitism, which includes the following examples:
• Calling for, aiding, or justifying the killing or harming of Jews (often in the name of a radical ideology or an extremist view of religion).
• Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as a collective—especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions.
• Accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group, the state of Israel, or even for acts committed by non-Jews.
• Accusing the Jews as a people, or Israel as a state, of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust.
• Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interest of their own nations.

Good intentions surely, this might impugn Free Speech but if foreign students abuse that privilege, perhaps it is needed.
