    The governor of New Hampshire says the protesters are being 100% antisemitic and they’re disgusting, according to that article.

    Funny, though. The state.gov website clearly states being against what Isreal is doing is not antisemitism. “Manifestations might include the targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity. However, criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic. Antisemitism frequently charges Jews with conspiring to harm humanity, and it is often used to blame Jews for “why things go wrong.” It is expressed in speech, writing, visual forms and action, and employs sinister stereotypes and negative character traits.”

      Isn’t that the definition the house just voted to change? Not sure it’ll go through the senate or not
