Original DHS Announcement on Social Media Screening: https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/news-releases/dhs-to-begin-sc...

State Dept on what is considered Antisemitism: https://www.state.gov/defining-antisemitism/

These definitions are intentionally broad and designed to censor criticism of Israel. You have more freedom to criticize the US Government than to criticize a foreign country.

> Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.

> Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor

> Applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.

> Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.

Many of the examples make sense, but these four above are absurd.

How so? Double standards for the only Jewish state seems like a pretty clear example of antisemitism, at least.

(It's usually difficult to decisively prove that someone is applying a double standard, but I think here we're assuming that was somehow firmly established.)

Why is criticism of the only Jewish state antisemitism but then whites can’t even think of having their own state?
