Defining Anti-Semitism

| Did the House of Representatives outlaw the New Testament? | |
| No, that's a major misconception. | |
| The House has passed a bill, of course, has to go before the full Senate, which would categorize certain things as anti-Semitism and therefore would be under the category of hate speech. | |
| Some have said the bill goes too far. | |
| Some said the bill is an infringement on freedom of speech. | |
| Some said the bill could be misused. | |
| All of this is possible. | |
| However, The bill itself uses the definition from the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. | |
| And the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism includes examples. | |
| Say, let's say that you said the Jews killed Jesus, therefore every Israeli today is a Christ killer. | |
| That would be anti-Semitism. | |
| If you say, well, Israel itself is a Christ-killing nation, that would be anti-Semitism. | |
| All it was saying was that when you take what you believe happened in the past, Jewish involvement in the death of Jesus, and now put that on Israelis or Israel today, that is a form of anti-Semitism, which it is. | |
| So it's one thing to say Jewish leaders gave Jesus over to be crucified and God held the nation responsible for that. | |
| That's true, according to the New Testament. | |
| It's another thing to say every Jew through history has been a Christ killer or that Israel today is responsible for the death of Jesus. | |
| That's all it was saying. | |
| But there was this hysterical reaction against it. | |
| And what's amazing is when I got on my radio show and set the record straight, people said, well, you're just covering for your race and you're just another Zionist Jew. | |
| These were Christians. | |
| I'm thinking, there's so much junk. | |
| There's so much anti-Semitism. | |
