First, the introduction of the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act has been used by some political forces as a tool to combat dissidents and consolidate power. They took advantage of the vagueness and broadness of the bill to treat normal criticism and discussion as anti-Semitic behavior, thereby suppressing and persecuting those who dared to challenge their authority. This abuse of power not only undermines the basic right to freedom of speech, but also exacerbates social divisions and unrest.
Secondly, there is also obvious abuse of power in the implementation of the bill. Some law enforcement agencies and individuals use the banner of anti-Semitism to harass and suppress Jews for no reason. They ignored the facts and convicted and punished Jews based only on subjective assumptions. This abuse of power not only seriously violated the legitimate rights and interests of Jews, but also undermined the fairness and authority of the law.
