The UK's right-wing extremist party, which I will call Deform UK, is running disinformationist candidates reminiscent of supporters of today's US Republicans.
The US House of Representatives passed a bill which would judge cases of alleged antisemitism in education based on the criterion promulgated by the IHRA. This criterion mistakes some criticism of Israel for antisemitism and even one of its authors has condemned it.
I have no confidence that Senate Democrats will reject this for the sake of getting the distinction right.
