The US House of representatives is preparing to vote next week on a resolution that would deem “Free Palestine” to be “an antisemitic slogan.”

If anybody votes against this, they’ll say they voted to support Colorado terrorist attack.

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.”
