Bill passed to condemn anyone who compares Israel to Nazis

That's not what the bill actually says as there are no criminal penalties in the actual text of the bill. Lots of "urges", "whereas", and "condemns". This is a house resolution of support for Israel directed at the President. It is probably in response to rumors about US voting in the UN. With 172 co-sponsors from both parties and a pass without objection is a political statement, not a bill that criminalizes anything.

Where is the part that "criminalizes" anything? This is a resolution, it "condemns", "applauds", and then "urges" the Secty. of State to do certain things. I do not see that is a law, or makes anything illegal.

Did you even read it? It doesn't criminalize anything.

It "condemns" anyone who compares Israel to Nazis. It's not a new provision to the penal code.

Condemns, not illegalizes.

This is pointless finger-wagging, not a bill with an actual legal effect.

I am not an expert in American lawmaking procedures, but this does not appear to criminalize anything.
