I'm getting real tired of this. There are people who are shouting from the roof tops that Israel is corrupt and committing genocide, among a whole host of other criminal activities, but for some reason the US government is supporting it for optics?
Fuck out of here with that "Just following orders" bullshit.
Edit: I love how people downvote on here like cowards when someone makes a point or asks a question, why not respond with your criticism so we can have a discussion and the best argument wins instead of just clicking a button like a child.
how is antisemitism defined
That's the confusing part, it isn't defined. Some state laws define it locally in the actual text of the law but even then it's super vague, other laws refer to Jewish organizations for their definition.
I'm still confused by all the laws for anti-semitism, on the one hand we know Israel is ran by fake Jews and real Jews don't like Israel as it exists, on the other hand it makes people questioning Israel look bad.
I've been wondering if eventually something will come out about Israel that will make the world react to anyone claiming to be Jewish, regardless of their stance, and this is suppose to help prevent that but even that idea seems a little weak.
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.

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.
The position originally was supposed to go to a civilian
That's an interesting idea but if that were true then why was the first Secretary of Defense James Forrestal who was a Lieutenant in the Navy?
Edit: So I did some more research on this and it seems like most Secretary of Defense were not generals. I went off Wikipedia so bare that in mind, break down it below.

He trusted some generals when he took out ISIS, I remember that story he told when they said he went over there and they told him it'd only take a few weeks to deal with ISIS vs the years long time frame someone told him in Washington.
Edit: Source of Trump talking about the generals
Though he does describe them as "central casting" but considering they delivered I think this is him saying they looked good not that they're fake generals.
All the sections referenced in the memorandum talk about selling or transferring nuclear submarines and other equipment to Australia as part of the AUKUS partnership.
I'm not sure this is anything important, the section that says the transfer is only allowed to happen one year after the date of signing which would be December 22, 2024.
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

22.7 MEGABYTES per Second..... Just in case you missed it, that's as fast as it can possibly get, and it had to be DL'ed directly to some sort of Storage device, NOT just another Computer, but directly into another hard drive, an External Hard Drive.....
That's just incorrect, 22 MB/s is far from the fastest data transfer speeds you can get, you can get far more than that from most broadband now.
You can fairly easily setup real 10Gbps networks, and even faster, using fiber cable. Fiber SAN with flash storage, even basic usenet can easily saturate 40MB/s and that's over the internet not local.
I'm not arguing about someone getting these files locally but let's not spread incorrect information (network/storage performance limits) that can easily be dis-proven.
Do you have a source on this? I thought he snubbed the ICC.
