South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem (R) on Thursday boasted that she signed the "strongest" hate crime bill in America into law to "stop antisemitism" and "ensure the security of God's chosen people."
Noem said in a press release after signing the bill that South Dakota is giving Jews additional special privileges under their anti-discrimination laws because they are "God's chosen people." Noem's full statement: Ensuring the Security of God's Chosen People No one should ever feel concerned for their safety when going to school, when going to work, when they are just trying to live their normal lives. But that is the reality for so many Jewish people across America right now. We see antisemitism on college campuses, among high school students, and even as young as middle and elementary school students. That is unacceptable.No doubt the Anti-Defamation League, who sued the city of Bladensburg, Maryland a few years ago to have a 100-year-old memorial cross for WWI veterans torn down in the name of "separation of church and state," will also be suing to stop this law that was passed only to protect "God's chosen people!" No doubt that lawsuit will be coming any day now (*crickets*)! The IHRA's definition of anti-Semitism is completely antithetical to the First Amendment. The IHRA defines anti-Semitism as: - Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective — such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions.No other ethnic or religious group in America is afforded any such privileges. The GOP and Kristi Noem have been running on fighting "wokeness" and "safe spaces" but they've all transformed into woke SJWs demanding safe spaces and passing hate speech laws in the name of protecting "God's chosen people" and Israel. As I reported last week, the Jerusalem Post ran a column calling for "antisemitism" to be "criminalized" worldwide in order to stop criticism of Israel amid their genocidal ethnic cleansing campaign in Gaza. "Given the large-scale resurgence of international antisemitism today, it is now essential to universally criminalize antisemitism," said Alan Baker, the head of the international law program at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs. "This must be done despite anticipated negative reactions by Muslim groups and despite the apathetic and misplaced sense of political correctness that is most prevalent in Europe and North America." As I noted last week, this global push to outlaw antisemitism makes it abundantly clear that all those laws states like Georgia, Florida, South Dakota and others are passing to "define antisemitism" are in fact aimed at making it illegal to criticize Jewish people and Israel -- First Amendment be damned. Leaked documents from the Anti-Defamation League obtained by the Jewish Daily Forward in 2018 revealed that even the ADL recognized that "anti-BDS" laws making it illegal to boycott Israel were clearly unconstitutional. They warned that such laws (as Noem passed in South Dakota) would be "harmful to the Jewish community" as they would give "the appearance that the Jewish community exercises undue influence in government." Though the ADL had privately warned against said anti-BDS laws, other Jewish groups forged ahead with them and the ADL not only got on board with the anti-BDS effort but became an enthusiastic supporter. Anti-BDS laws have since been passed in 38 states. Follow InformationLiberation on Twitter, Facebook, Gab, Minds and Telegram. |
