A congressional hearing on religious liberty took a dramatic turn when the discussion shifted to Israel, Zionism, and whether anti-Zionism should be considered antisemitism. One lawmaker pressed witnesses with a direct question: Can someone firmly oppose antisemitism while also condemning Israel’s actions in Gaza or rejecting political Zionism? The response sparked a tense back-and-forth, with witnesses arguing that anti-Zionism is inherently antisemitic, while critics warned against conflating criticism of Israel with hatred of Jewish people.
