The House of Representatives is trying to pass a resolution making the term “Free Palestine” an official antisemitic slogan.

Republican Representative Gabe Evans from Colorado introduced the resolution in the wake of the attack on a gathering for Israeli hostages in Boulder this week. Mohammed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national, has been charged for the attack, during which he yelled “Free Palestine,” according to the FBI.

“Whereas, while shouting ‘Free Palestine,’ an antisemitic slogan that calls for the destruction of the state of Israel and Jewish people, Mohammed Sabry Soliman attacked the peaceful demonstrators with homemade Molotov cocktails,” the resolution reads. House Republicans are expected to vote on the nonbinding resolution next week.

    This coming from the same motherfuckers that brought you classics like:

    “We have to let the Nazis march in the park this weekend, freeze peach”

    And

    “The klan is just a bunch of good 'ol boys, they never hurt nobody”

      Honestly, as much as I hate the opinions of Nazi’s and Klansmen, I still support their rights to free speech. That’s how it works. Otherwise you are doing the same “I’m free you are not” bullshit.

      And “Jews will not replace us,” elon’s nazi salute, nazi flags at their rallies, and “oh no, you’ve got it all wrong! I was totally born in 1988, that’s why it’s in my username. Ignore the 14.”
