US House passes controversial bill that expands definition of anti-Semitism

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

63% : In a letter sent to lawmakers on Friday, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) urged House members to vote against the legislation, saying federal law already prohibits anti-Semitic discrimination and harassment.
59% : The bill is “therefore not needed to protect against anti-Semitic discrimination”, the letter said.
52% : “Not only is the definition listed there, but one also finds specific examples of anti-Semitic speech.
50% : Rhetorical and physical manifestations of anti-Semitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities”.
