This is not a W… This boils down to conflating zionists with all Jews. Under these definitions there is basically no differentiation anymore. Which is fine if you’re a Zionist, but otherwise just lumps you in with them. It removes the distinction.

There’s a comment thread below yours that I’d love for you to read. This isn’t a “hey fuck off” but an actual ask since one of the comments is very similar to my mindset of the bill and I believe we can have a pretty good convo once you read the mindset a bit.
I agree that it has potential for misuse, but read the thread and let’s discuss (also it’s bedtime here so expect a delay in response from me please)
