Chuck Schumer has pledged to sign off on the IHRA bill for college campuses.

France is mulling similar legislation as Germany.

Jewish Currents predicted that this would happen. Each time Israel commits a massacre/war crimes, more people get aware of the issue and protest and minds are changed.

So pro-Israel organizations like the ADL attempt to clamp down further on the discourse.

Since we've reached the point of genocide and the Dems have signaled that there are no red-lines, these pro-Israel organizations will keep pushing for more repressive measures.

Anti-BDS laws are already serving as a template for corporations to combat opposition from activist groups - i.e. the Fossil Fuels industry vs. climate change activism.

So, not only are these anti-free speech laws corrosive to this issue - they are used to censor other topics too.
