Governor DeSantis Signs Historic Hate Crime Bill in Israel
FloridaJolt.com ^ | 4/27/2023 | Tracy Caruso

Posted on 04/27/2023 5:47:38 AM PDT by Jacvin

Governor DeSantis and the state of Florida have taken a stand by passing a hate crime bill sponsored by Republican State Representatives Mike Caruso and Randy Fine in the House and Republican Senator Alexis Calatayud in the Senate. Caruso and Fine joined the Governor in Israel to sign this historic legislation at the new Museum of Tolerance in Jerusalem.

The rise in antisemitism in Florida motivated Caruso to sponsor this legislation; it protects all Floridians, including those of the Jewish Faith, from all acts of religious and ethnic animus.

Caruso gave an impassioned speech on the House floor. Every member there that day, one hundred and fourteen members, cosponsored this bill in bipartisan unity. As of today, all 119 House members have cosponsored HB 269.

” it protects all Floridians”

Then why not sign it in Florida.

Please note: Antisemitism was illegal in the Weimar Republic.

I get the idea but bills like this are dangerous. This will turn into Christians being threatened with jail time because they speak out against Trannies. This is how bills like this will get used eventually

“” it protects all Floridians”

It’s symbolic nonsense. No doubt some consultant told him that would be a good idea, instead of just signing a bill at his desk in America.

This is the type of crap we’re tired of. Similar to signing a bill with like 30 pens so that everybody gets a pen. Ridiculous.

I completely reject the legitimacy of *all* "hate crime" laws. If I punch a black guy in the nose because I hate blacks...or because I'm having a bad day...the sentence should depend *entirely* on the extent of the guy's injuries and my past experiences,if any,in courtrooms.

If he dies I should get the chair.If he's crippled I should get 20 years. If he spends two days in the hospital I should get a year (or more).If his nose stops bleeding after 10 minutes I should get probation and a fine.

The only exception I'd make to that attitude is with certain crimes committed against people over the age of "X" (perhaps 65),certain crimes against people under the age of "Y" (perhaps 15) and certain crimes against the seriously disabled.

He is doing the I am not running but I am really running POTUS campaign and this was such an obvious action.

I find it kind of chuckle worthy.

Hate crime = thought crime

Orwell was a prophet.

I’m am just stunned by the hate of Jews by the KKK and other whites. It makes no sense. This is a good law.

I didn’t mean that the law was symbolic. But that the signing in Israel was symbolic.

Just sign the bill at your desk. You don’t need to take a bill six thousand miles to sign it.

It’s actually very cool to do it in Israel where the world hates them. It’s a gesture of continued support. God knows they need it.

I agree. Hope Trump’s vanity propels him to say something spiteful about it.

"Museum of Tolerance???"

Ancient Israel was a THEOCRACY with no "freedom of religion," as will be the Messianic Kingdom.

The devotion so many Jews give the eighteenth century European "enlightenment" is insane. Moses was not Thomas Jefferson, however much the lie is repeated.

In the end the "enlightenment" will turn on the Jews, just like all the other false friends they've put their trust in.

This consultant-orchestrated campaign is off-the-charts cynical. Fake. Inauthentic.

"Tell ya what. Ya go to Israel. Ya sign a Florida position-paper 'law.' Bingo, ya get the Jewish vote."

So cringe.
