(4) clearly and firmly states that anti-Zionism is antisemitism;
I was wondering what the resolution says that the press was interpreting as equating anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism, well there it is
Does this actually have any repercussions or is it just more wanking off over who's the bigger zionist?
I don’t think it has direct repercussions; I think it lays the foundation for future ones.
Only if you're a sitting representative
As we saw with them censoring Tlaib, they want to make sure that we all know the legislative branch is united in their Zionism
It is cool to see the political class screaming "shut the fuck up you prole scum we're not going to let you bully us!"
tbh, a lot of what houses/parliaments pass is "stating" and "affirming" this or that, rather than passing laws
Does this actually have any repercussions
The primary repercussion is that you've got a majority of House Reps on record endorsing this framing. So now that the votes are functionally whipped, we can move on to the "PROTECT ISRAEL Act", which uses the "anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism" language a second time and implements actual legal sanctions against people.

Listen, just cuz I hate one national park in Utah doesn't mean I'm antisemitic
Hey, I ain't no antisemite, I got all of Spielberg's films on tape.
