Massachusetts Also Wants To Make Questioning Holocaust A Hate Crime

Video Transcript:

The owners of this country know the truth. It's called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it. Alright everyone, I hope you're doing well. It's Monday, March 7th, and the news just happens so fast I can't even keep up with it half the time. This actually happened two weeks ago, but similar to the stories in Iowa and Georgia that I covered, Massachusetts also adopts the IHRA definition of anti-semitism. If you go and read that definition, like I said, questioning the Holocaust could become illegal if they pass this at a legislative level. The difference between this time and the Georgia and Iowa instances is that this is a proclamation by Governor Baker. They didn't actually go through the legislature, but the reason they did it is to better equip law enforcement to deal with hate crimes, because the goal is to eventually prosecute people for free speech. You criticize Israel, you go to jail. You question the Holocaust, you go to jail. You say Jews have too much power in banking, media, whatever, you go to jail. Right? Don't even mention the Rothschilds, that'll probably get you the death penalty. Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker issued a proclamation, whatever that is, right? It's not an executive order I guess. Indoorcing the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, working definition on anti-semitism. The administration also released on February 18th. It's 2020 Massachusetts Hate Crimes Report, and I'm going to read a part of that in a second because it's very important. Noted from data submitted by law enforcement agencies across the state. In a statement, he emphasized that there's no place for hate or discrimination in Massachusetts. And our administration is proud to work with community and faith leaders, law enforcement and others to combat hate crimes and ensure the commonwealth remains a welcoming community to everyone. Building on our ongoing work through the task force on hate crimes, we are proud today to endorse this updated definition of anti-semitism to make clear that as the forms of hate and intolerance evolve, so will our efforts to respond. The proclamation supporting the IHRA definition of anti-semitism was also signed by Lieutenant Governor Karen Palito in Secretary of the Commonwealth, William Galvin. Palito said combating hate crimes requires constant vigilance, and we have worked with the task force on hate crimes. Now listen, to better equip our law enforcement officers, right? This isn't an educational thing. They're not trying to say, hey, check out the Holocaust. Maybe you missed it. It's this big war crime that happened. And here, learn more about it. There's nothing like that, right? What it is is they want to prosecute people for criticizing Israel, you know, saying, hey, maybe the Holocaust didn't happen the way they said it happened, or even drawing comparisons to what's going on right now to the Holocaust, right? Or how Israel acts towards the Palestinians. Anything like that could be illegal, okay? And it's not a joke. It's not hyperbolic. This is real. They wouldn't be passing this type of thing or trying to make a proclamation or executive order, whatever. If they weren't going to use it, if they weren't going to weaponize this non-legally binding definition, right? It seems like they're trying to make it legally binding, I would say. Now again, look at this hate crimes report from 2020 that he actually talks about. This is off mass.gov. Now, this is something on this page that I thought was very important to read, right? In 2021, Governor Baker signed legislation that will ultimately, right, transition the governor's task force on hate crimes into a new statutory hate crimes task force under section 221 of chapter 6 of the general laws, meaning that they're going to adopt this definition of anti-semitism, which again makes it a crime possibly to question the Holocaust. If they actually incorporate that in this hate crimes task force becomes, you know, a statutory force, they can actually enforce that definition as law. The non-legally binding definition, right? This is troubling, guys. This is going to happen in every state. Like I said, it's happening so fast I even missed this story and I'm from Massachusetts originally. I'm not surprised, guys. This is going to be an every state I guarantee it and you need to watch out because this is serious.
