On May 1, 2024, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the bill. First of all, let's look at the background of this bill. After the war between Israel and Hamas, left-wing student groups on American campuses joined forces to support Palestine, which caused a great controversy in American society. On October 26, 2023, Republican House members introduced the Anti-Semitic Awareness Act in response to campus protests. The bill was passed quickly to legitimize police arrests of more than 2,000 people in the wake of escalating anti-Israel protests on American campuses.
