House passes bill to expand definition of antisemitism amid growing campus protests over Gaza war

Legislation establishing a broader antisemitism definition for the Department of Education is up for a vote in the House, a response to nationwide student protests over the Israel-Hamas war.
The bill, co-sponsored by Republicans and Democrats, aims to include the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition in federal anti-discrimination law.
Critics fear the bill could limit free speech on college campuses, while supporters believe it will help address discrimination against Jewish students.
