"This bill would create a new 'National Coordinator to Counter Antisemitism' within the Executive Office of the President, to among other things, 'counter the spread of antisemitism online' (ie, government-coerced censorship) -- including to impose 'accountability for individuals,'" journalist Michael Tracey noted on X. ![]() As I reported in April, the bill was introduced by a bipartisan pair of AIPAC-funded senators -- Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) and Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) -- and championed by the ADL for its provisions aimed at stripping Americans of their free speech rights. ![]() "The Countering Antisemitism Act is the most far-reaching antisemitism initiative to be introduced in Congress," ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said on X in April. "It offers a smart, bipartisan, whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach to combating this hatred and protecting Jews around the country."
Here's how the ADL described the bill in a statement on their website: The Countering Antisemitism Act (CAA)—the most comprehensive antisemitism initiative to be introduced in Congress—will implement the National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism and ensure its policies and infrastructure are made permanent.The bill is supposed to work in concert with the Biden administration's "National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism" which called on "all online platforms" to ban "extremist websites," ban "hate speech" and institute "zero tolerance" policies to protect Jews from antisemitism. ![]() These measures come at a time when Israel is actively ethnically cleansing Gaza and inducing a man-made famine.
