“So, she doesn’t want to be helping us protect communities against antisemitism. We’re not surprised,” said Mr. Moskowitz, Florida Democrat. “We’re not interested in messing with the Gospel, nor does this language do that, and I don’t think the Jewish community is worried right now what the ‘Jew laser lady’ has to say. I mean, that’s not who we want on our side,” Mr. Moskowitz said, referring to a controversy involving Ms. Greene.“To somehow use that to say that this bill now is going to Christians. is absurd on its face. It’s inflammatory, and it’s irrational,” he said.
The bill would require the Department of Education to use the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of antisemitism. The group defines antisemitism as a “certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews.”
