AIPAC-Owned Senators Introduce Bill To Criminalize Criticism of Israel or Jewish Power

Prominent Jewish Americans Sign Statement Denouncing AIPAC’s Electoral Influence

S.4576 - A bill to strengthen Federal efforts to counter antisemitism in the United States and protect the Jewish community.

[The bill has so far, only been introduced in the Senate, but no details of the legislation are offered to the public.  the following text comes from the highly toxic JEWISH ANTI-DEFAMATION COMMITTEE.]

The bipartisan legislation responds to the growing threat that antisemitism poses not only to the Jewish community, but also to the core values of American democracy.

• • Bolsters protections for Jewish students by:
    • establishing a dedicated antisemitism coordinator within the U.S. Department of Education – ensuring students know their rights and schools their responsibilities under Title VI,
    • improving Title VI enforcement and processing of discrimination complaints, and
    • creating an online “clearinghouse” for school safety and civil rights best practices.
  • Requires federally funded K‑12 schools and colleges to address antisemitism and other forms of discrimination by:
    • designating Title VI coordinators,
    • maintaining clear, well-publicized nondiscrimination policies and grievance procedures to investigate and resolve complaints, and
    • providing support for those who report discrimination.
  • Expands and reforms the Nonprofit Security Grant Program by:
    • increasing authorized funding to $1 billion annually,
    • improving grant administration and support for applicants,
    • broadening allowable uses to support a wider range of security needs, and
    • strengthening congressional oversight to improve transparency, accountability, and fair distribution of funds.
  • Strengthens federal monitoring of antisemitic extremism by requiring annual coordinated assessments – on both domestic and transnational antisemitic violent extremist threats – from the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and National Counterterrorism Center.
  • Increases transparency and accountability for online platforms by requiring large social media platforms to regularly report on:
    • content moderation practices,
    • the sharing and amplification of antisemitic content,
    • inauthentic user accounts, and
    • real-world impact of online hate speech on the U.S. Jewish community
