This bill would make it a must for the Department of Education to use a definition of anti-Semitism proposed by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance when enforcing anti-discrimination laws. Supporters say it’s vital for “tackling antisemitism” on campuses, but opponents fear it could stifle free speech. Despite a strong 320-91 vote in the House, resistance from both sides suggests Senate approval won’t come easy.

The destruction of camps set up by the demonstrators and multiple arrests are “an example of hypocritical policies of those who teach us lessons of freedom in the Gaza massacre,” he said. Students “are exposed to violence and torture,” while the academics “are fired and lynched,” Erdogan claimed.According to the Turkish leader, the lack of international condemnation of the actions by the US authorities can be explained by the fact that “Israel’s interests draw the boundaries of Western democracy.”

Translation — Barbaric slaughter by the Zionist army tonight against Palestinian children who were hiding from the bombs in the Shaboura refugee camp, in Rafah, south of Gaza.
