In the wake of the proliferation of pro-Palestine student encampments on American college campuses, accusations of antisemitism are back at the center of U.S. and global political discourse.
On May 17, legislation was introduced and referred to the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs. Co-sponsored by Chief Deputy Whip Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) and U.S. Representative Max Miller (R-OH), H.R. 8445 went largely under the radar.

A political entity that is committing the most egregious crimes in the world isn’t being “unfairly targeted” by those mobilizing against it.
Gazans killed while fetching water, waiting for medical evacuation; humanitarian aid trickles in; just months after arriving in Rafah, massive numbers of people are leaving; Israeli violence in West Bank, East Jerusalem; medical negligence in Israeli prisons; accusations against Meta, WhatsApp for leaking Palestinian info for targeted killings; Israel claims young children are informers; former Mossad leader says Israel is losing the war, more
Award-winning journalist James Bamford reports that the Israeli-American Council has worked in tandem with Israeli intelligence agencies for years. Last month, its leaders vowed to shut down the encampment at UCLA.
