As the Department notes, it already issues reports on "human rights" abuses, and there's no special reason why attacks on Jews should be recorded separately.

Why not reports about attacks on other groupsóblack people, white people, women, Christians?

If the lobbies that represent such categories can make enough noise for it, there would be such reports. The State Department could then spend all its time recording what should be the concern of local police departments.

The Department was right the first time that the bill requires a duplication of what it already does, but that's not what's really wrong with the law.

What's wrong with it is that it opens one more door to the criminalization of thought and expression.
