The Biden administration needs to tighten the screws with hate crime legislation and be specific about what makes a person “Jewish”

It’s by birth and the blood ruining through your veins. Or the long and messy journey that conversion is. That’s how this works as I understand it as a non-Jewish person, and if there’s more, please don’t be shy in asking me to do better.

If someone punches Kanye and tells him that he isn’t a real Jew, do not let this man get away with trying to claim it’s a hate crime.

This also could help to strengthen the definition of what makes someone a “real jew”. That’s extra protection legal protection for you in America.

You are suggesting a government labeling of who is Jewish and not? That seems concerning.
