The United States House of Representatives passed a resolution on Tuesday, asserting 바카라anti-Zionism is antisemitism바카라. The measure gained support from almost all Republicans, with only one abstention, and a substantial minority of Democrats. The resolution, introduced by Jewish Republicans Max Miller of Ohio and David Kustoff of Tennessee, secured a 311-14 vote, with 92 Democratic members abstaining by voting 바카라present바카라.
Framed as a symbolic effort to counter the 바카라drastic rise of anti-Semitism in the United States and around the world,바카라 the resolution took a firm stance, explicitly stating that the House 바카라clearly and firmly states that anti-Zionism is antisemitism바카라. Additionally, it condemned the slogan 바카라From the River to the Sea바카라, traditionally seen by rights advocates as an aspirational call for equality in historic Palestine.
Moreover, it took a critical view of recent demonstrations in Washington, D.C., where advocates gathered to demand a ceasefire. The resolution referred to the participants as 바카라rioters'' who allegedly 바카라spewed hateful and vile language amplifying antisemitic themes바카라.
All House Republicans but one 바카라 Congressman Thomas Massie 바카라 voted in favour of the resolution.
Democrats questioning the resolution called displays of anti-Jewish sentiment unacceptable, but said equating all anti-Zionism to antisemitism went too far.

On the other hand, Zionism refers to the movement to create a Jewish state in the Middle East, roughly corresponding to the historical land of Israel, and thus support for the modern state of Israel. Anti-Zionism opposes that.
But some say 'Zionist' can be used as a coded attack on Jews, while others say the Israeli government and its supporters are deliberately confusing anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism to avoid criticism.
In "Debunking the myth that anti-Zionism is antisemitic" published in The Guardian, the author argues that "Anti-Zionism is not inherently antisemitic 바카라 and claiming it uses Jewish suffering to erase the Palestinian experience. Yes, antisemitism is growing. Yes, world leaders must fight it fiercely. But in the words of a great Zionist thinker, 'This is not the way바카라.바카라
