Antisemitism dispensation for Christians. 

Senate Republicans added an amendment to bipartisan legislation addressing rising antisemitism on college campuses that could be seen as a concession to Christian conservatives who wanted to protect those who preach that the Jews killed Jesus

The added language, which is referred to as a “manager’s amendment” and proposed by the committee’s chair, Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, states that the legislation would not “diminish or infringe upon any right protected under the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, including the free exercise of religion.”

The bill would require the Department of Education to use the controversial International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism — which classifies most anti-Zionism as antisemitic — when investigating allegations of discrimination.

It passed in the House last May by an overwhelming majority of 320-91, but was stalled in the Senate due to some resistance over constitutionally protected free speech. It has been reintroduced in the House this year and is up for a vote at the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee on Wednesday morning.

Specifically, the IHRA (International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance) lists: Using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis.

It also lists: Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.

That's not antisemitism. That's just historical fact, the same as drawing comparisons with contemporary US policy to the Nazis. Also, conflating the Israeli government with the Jewish religion may or may not be antisemitic, but it's wrong.
