US House votes to pass antisemitism bill in response to campus protests

Bill would use language by a holocaust remembrance organization to define antisemitism, which critics say would chill speech

The US House of Representatives has voted to pass an antisemitism awareness bill, a controversial measure sponsored by a New York Republican amid controversy over pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses in Manhattan and across the US, as Israel’s war with Hamas drags on.

The bill passed 320-91 with some bipartisan support.
