AI Summary

The bill adopts the working definition of antisemitism from the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, which includes certain expressions of hatred or manifestations of antisemitism directed at Jewish individuals, their property, or Jewish community institutions, while excluding criticism of Israel that is similar to that leveled against any other country.
