Both companion bills were passed with bipartisan support from both Democrats and Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This will give a single U.S. official authority to strip U.S. non-profits [sic] orgs of their non-profit status in a peremptory manner, w\/ virtually no limitations, accountability, or meaningful recourse, based merely on his declaration they are &#8220;terrorist supporting organizations,&#8221; tweeted Lara Friedman (@LaraFriedmanDC), president of the Foundation for Middle East Peace.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The explicit target of this legislation is orgs involved in \/ supporting protest against Israel&#8217;s war on Gaza, most notably SJP (Students for Justice in Palestine). But of course, if passed into law, it could be used against any tax-exempt org working for an objective disfavored by the Admin in power.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>(Related: Did you know that nearly all of New York City&#8217;s top slumlords <a href=\"https:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/2024-04-29-100-worst-landlords-slumlords-nyc-are-jewish.html\">are Jewish<\/a>?)<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you don&#8217;t support Israel 100%, Zionists consider you a &#8220;terrorist&#8221;<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Even in our own comment section there are folks that routinely drop a line about how those who oppose Israel&#8217;s genocide in Gaza are &#8220;terrorists,&#8221; which is the same position the Zionists in government hold as they chip away at Americans&#8217; First Amendment rights.<\/p>\n<p>By simply declaring all speech against Israel to be &#8220;antisemitic,&#8221; Zionists are able to brand anyone opposed to Israel&#8217;s genocide as basically a member of Hamas who hates Jews \u2013 including, bizarrely, Jewish people who also oppose what Israel is doing in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The intent behind the bill \u2014 the targeting of groups engaged in protest for Palestinian rights \/ lives \u2014 has been made explicit \u2013 e.g., here&#8217;s the Chair of the House Ways &amp; Means Committee when it was marking up \/ passing the bill last November,&#8221; Friedman further tweeted, referring to <a href=\"https:\/\/waysandmeans.house.gov\/event\/hearing-from-ivory-towers-to-dark-corners-investigating-the-nexus-between-antisemitism-tax-exempt-universities-and-terror-financing\/\">this hearing<\/a>, which if you are interested can also be viewed below:<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Qu_2afSs97I?si=4y9C1JW_LdfU_aVg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n&#8212;<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;Reminder: U.S. charitable organizations \u2013 like ALL U.S. entities \u2013 are already barred, by law, from providing material support for terror &amp; already face intense scrutiny.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There is still time to stop these bills from being passed and signed into law, but it is going to take a lot of grassroots effort since the media is all but ignoring their existence.<\/p>\n<p>It would seem as though the government and media are working in cahoots to keep this particular legislation a secret since it will not directly affect most Americans in a noticeable way. It will, however, chip away at the rights of those who care about the <a href=\"http:\/\/democide.news\">innocent lives in Gaza that are being slaughtered<\/a> by the Netanyahu regime.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The goal of the new legislation is to dispense with the due process (incl the need for evidence) afforded under law to targeted groups, empowering a single U.S. official to act as prosecutor, judge, jury, &amp; executioner of U.S. orgs whose viewpoints that official disagrees with,&#8221; Friedman warns.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Those whose prioritize shutting down pro-Palestine protest above all else may view this legislation as excellent news. Those concerned with Palestinian rights \/ lives, and those who view with concern the rapid erosion of free speech \/ protest rights in the U.S., may disagree.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Either way, it is remarkable that this legislation \u2013 which has profound implications for protest \/ free speech in the U.S. \u2013 is so far going pretty much unnoticed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Zionist lobby is in a panic over waning support for endless wars and genocide in Gaza.
