Congressman Dan Crenshaw suggested that criticism of Israel should not be protected under the First Amendment during an event last night.

Crenshaw was asked about federal laws that demand contractors in America sign a pledge that they will not boycott Israel.

Haven't the US passed or planning on passing laws that will prohibit the criticism of Israel. I heard the news from a Jewish person a little while back, so it's not from an antisemitic source.

In essence... the 1st Amendment is basically anti-Semitic. The stupidity of this is hilarious.

*rolls eyes*

Everyone wants to interpret the First Amendment and free speech to support their own ideology. Meanwhile, people who really want freedom of speech are left in between this nonsense.

The First Amendment to the United States Constitution is a part of the United States Bill of Rights that protects freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, freedom of the press, and right to petition

Explains the justification for jihadists to think that they must FIRST get the US out of the Middle East
As long as the "Chrisitian-Zionists" believe that the rights of israel / jews trump that of purely American interests
So long will US meddling in the Middle East be their justification -- for seeing the US as the -- "Great-Satan"
The US is israel's -- "East Bank"?
