Curious about Kristi Noem and Pete Hegseth

posted 34 days ago by MajorSalt 34 days ago by MajorSalt +21 / -0

I'm trying to understand these picks.

Kristi Noem is extremely pro israel, going so far as to pass anti-hate speech laws which IMO goes against the 1st amendment.

I don't have any issue specifically with Pete Hegseth but I do wonder why he would pick a major to be Secretary of Defense instead of a general, especially if we know there are good generals out there that aren't just for show like Mark Milley.

The bill defines antisemitism

The bill provides the most vague and useless definition ever: https://mylrc.sdlegislature.gov/api/Documents/261317.pdf

the term "antisemitism" means a certain perception of Jews that may be expressed as hatred toward Jews, including rhetorical and physical acts of antisemitism directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals or their property, or toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.

Some would say the bible itself is now antisemitism.

Alright fair, I still don't understand the purpose or benefit of such a vague definition because that could be applied to any group of people and labeled as harassment so why make a special law just for antisemitism.

I get it, skepticism is healthy.

antisemitism directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals or their property

This reads like it affords everyone this same protection against this kind of discrimination. So I wonder what the bill even accomplishes.
