New Congress Bill Backs Israel and Targets Palestinians
A Republican congressman has proposed a symbolic resolution labeling the “Free Palestine” slogan as an “antisemitic rallying cry calling for the destruction of Israel and Jews,” according to a report by webangah News Agency.
The resolution, introduced by Congressman Gab Evans, comes amid growing efforts by pro-Israel lobbies in Washington to equate criticism of israel with antisemitism, effectively silencing dissent. The measure also condemns last week’s attack on a pro-Israel rally in Colorado that left 12 injured.
This congressional move represents the latest attempt to suppress palestinian rights advocacy in the United States. Civil rights activists maintain that “Free Palestine” simply calls for liberation from Israeli occupation and apartheid policies.
Prominent political theorist John Mearsheimer argues that the Israel lobby’s influence over Congress and the White House has shaped unconditional US support for Israel while weaponizing antisemitism accusations to curb free speech. Mearsheimer has accused America of being complicit in what he describes as Palestinian genocide.
