The Antisemitism Awareness Act would require the Education Department to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition of antisemitism.
Saying someone is “a Jew” rather than saying that they’re “Jewish” often comes off as vaguely antisemitic. I’m not saying that it’s wrong, just something subtle I’ve noticed over the years.
I mean the first point is that there’s not much history of widespread systematic anti-christian sentiment in the western world. Secondly, I’ve noticed antisemitic people tend to say “… is a jew” with a particular intonation even when they’re not speaking negatively about someone. In text format where tone isn’t able to be conveyed, I’ve noticed that people are more likely to react negatively.
Maybe I’m wrong, though. 🤷♂️ I’m a stranger on the internet, and you probably shouldn’t take my word at face value.
Even Bernie is against this bill. ( He’s a Jew, btw.)

It’s not considered offensive for other religions as far as I know… “Peter is a Christian” has zero derogatory connotation
