What the hell is happening to Texas? I'm a Jew and this law makes me want to vomit. AIPAC must have its claws into state legislatures too.

Agree. And thank you for sharing your background, makes your take on this very interesting. I’ve heard the same from Jewish family members.

The political/religious dogma killed Jesus and I dare say if He showed up today our "leaders" would have Him under house arrest in minutes

I think that’s true in a sense. But the Biblical language is irrefutable.

"The IHRA officially considers the Biblical and historical claim that Jews killed Jesus to be antisemitic. Millions of people killed other people for centuries and still do."

But this one death becomes antisemitism?

Ok.

Christians wake up. Massacres in silence

Church burnings 436 and counting in Canada.

Now this.

Thanks for posting this Jon! Being a native Texan I used your link to send a direct message to Governor Abbot expressing my opposition to this bill.

Oh, please no

Prestor John was prompted by the Jews to go and preach, and it was a big con. The crusades were designed to take their estates.

So reading the Bible makes you an antisemite. Fine. Call it what you will, but it’s our constitutional right to freedom of religion and speech.

I realize that election fraud has resulted in all levels of government NOT representing the populace, but fukn Abbot too?? That guy’s about as predictable as a fart in the wind. If he signs it, he’s without a doubt compromised as well, or as mentally retarded as Obiden.

And proud Texans just go about their business without a care in the world? WTF has happened to the proud people of the state of Tx? I’m really losin respect fast for a state w an attitude I always looked up to. March down to the Gov’s mansion and make yourselves heard!! Don’t be like the palmies across the pond bowing to their pedotyrants. WTF!!

I wonder will they prosecute Jews who lambast the falsehood and brutality of this Israel? The protests I"ve been invited to, were organized by my Jewish neighbors.. How will they untie that?

This law can be challenged as a violation of free speech. "From the river to the sea" is of course highly protected speech as it should be.
