A note of disclosure: This episode was recorded 2 days before the antisemitism bill was signed into law.

GOP Governor Brian Kemp has signed a bill into law that officially defines antisemitism.

Supporters say now Georgia prosecutors and judges can more easily define antisemitism as discrimination or a hate crime. 

Democratic State Representative Esther Panitch, the only Jewish member of the General Assembly, co-sponsored the measure.

"I do know that prosecutors and investigators need to be taught what the definition means and how to discern between things that may be anti Semitic and things that are not necessarily anti Semitic."

The GOP is a united front in support of Israel's war on Hamas. But some Democrats are opposed. 

Strategists Tharon Johnson and Brian Robinson break down the divide, and how some opponents are concerned that the law simply censors criticism of the Israeli government and violence towards Palestinians.
