US House Equates Anti-Zionism with Anti-Semitism in Controversial Resolution
The resolution, denounced by Palestinian rights advocates, passed with a 311-14 vote, with 92 Democrats abstaining.
- The US House of Representatives has passed a resolution equating anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism, in a move denounced by Palestinian rights advocates as a dangerous curb on free speech.
- The resolution, passed by a Republican-controlled House, also condemned the slogan 'From the River to the Sea', understood by rights advocates to be a call for equality in historic Palestine.
- The resolution passed with a 311-14 vote, with 92 Democratic members abstaining by voting 'present'.
- Fourteen House lawmakers, including 13 Democrats and one Republican, voted against the resolution, accusing it of conflating criticisms of the Israeli government with antisemitism.
- The resolution is one of several pro-Israel motions approved by Congress since October 7, amid Israel's offensive in Gaza, which has killed more than 16,000 Palestinians.
