more recent edit, i’m dumb the text does appear on the congress.gov version, here:
https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-resolution/485/text
i was looking at house.gov only….
~~edit: this resolution does not say “free palestine” is an antisemitic phrase anywhere… this tweet is a complete lie.
it is condemning the terrorist attack in Bolder… making a lot of dumb claims… but nope.~~
~~Whereas, while shouting ‘‘Free Palestine’’, Mohammed Sabry Soliman attacked the peaceful demonstrators with home-made Molotov cocktails;~~
~~that’s the only time it’s mentioned. it does say that the attack was antisemitism, rather than anti-genocide in israel… but that’s a pretty big leap. btw, all news articles link to this tweet instead of the actual bill….
/edit~~
that’s the first rule:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
Thank you for doing the legwork comrade.
actually i was entirely wrong... the newer version on congress.gov does have that language...
Deep... siggggh.
It's worth noting that they found either Newer or outdated information.
From my own search, direcly from the Congress.Gov page on HR485.
"Whereas, while shouting ``Free Palestine'', an antisemitic slogan that calls for the destruction of the state of Israel and the Jewish people, Mohammed Sabry Soliman attacked the peaceful demonstrators with homemade Molotov cocktails;"
