We are almost five months into 2024 and Congress has yet to do one single thing that benefits the American people – but its members sure are doing a lot to uphold Jewish privilege.
A new bipartisan bill proposed by a pro-Israel Democrat and a pro-Israel Republican would create a new federal agency, of sorts, to police “antisemitism” on college campuses and universities.
Federally sanctioned “antisemitism monitors” would be deployed all across the country to surveil and spy on students, professors, and any others who dare to express opposition to Israel’s genocide in Gaza, for instance, or who in any way question Israel’s behavior or influence over American politics.
The First Amendment would no longer apply under the newly proposed bill, which is a product of Reps. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) and Mike Lawler (R-NY).
Known as the College Oversight and Legal Updates Mandating Bias Investigations and Accountability Act, or the COLUMBIA Act, the legislation would allow the Department of Education to send a “third-party antisemitism monitor” to any college that receives federal funding. Those that refuse to comply would lose all federal funding.
“The monitor, paid for by the school, would be charged with releasing a public, quarterly report evaluating ‘the progress that a college or university has made toward combating antisemitism,'” Axios reports about the anti-First Amendment bill.

The legislation manifested out of thin air in response to the Gaza solidarity protests that have erupted at America’s top schools in recent weeks. The Jewish lobby wants them stopped, even though the protesters’ speech is protected by the First Amendment.
“My office and I have spoken with countless Jewish students from campuses across America who feel deeply unsafe, purely as a result of their religious and ethnic identity,” Torres said in a statement.
“Jewish students have told my office that they feel completely abandoned by their university administrators and they view Congress as the only avenue for accountability and safety.”
At least 10 other members of the House of Representatives, including Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), are touring the nation right now to denounce free speech as it pertains to the Gaza solidarity protests, calling them acts of “terrorism” that make Jewish students feel upset.
Conversely, a handful of House “progressives” are going around to many of these same schools to show their support for the demonstrators and the message they are trying to send about Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
“Taking money from foreign entities should be illegal,” tweeted someone on X named Torrence LaGoy (@torrylagoy) about how Torres takes money from the pro-Israel lobby – see below:
You literally can not make this up.

Another shared the following video depicting senior Israeli American Council member Judith Varnai-Shorer making racist comments against Black people at a recent gathering – “the major problem with Israel is with the young generation of the black community.”

“The major problem with Israel is its apartheid system that represses the Palestinian people, which the black community recognizes and is in solidarity with as they fight for the Palestinian people to achieve their freedom,” responded someone on X named QuantumLeap (@somastream).
“That is called divide and conquer,” added another to the conversation. “She is singling out a group, and they will put pressure on the leaders of that community. There is a tactic behind the way they are speaking.”
