    When you say laws, does this mean there are penalties for this kind of speech? I was under the impression it just defined the term antisemitism.

      Adding IHRA’s definition to the law would allow the federal Department of Education to restrict funding and other resources to campuses perceived as tolerating anti-Semitism.

      It says “would” because as the other guy said it still needs to pass the Senate and the White House.

        I’m aware of the current bill before the Senate but was thinking you meant there were laws currently on the books that had punitive measures against antisemitism. Sorry for the confusion!
