Jewish state senator introduces Virginia bill defining Judeophobia as hate crime in assault cases 

An Israeli-American state senator from Virginia has introduced a bill to criminalize Judeophobia.

The bill, introduced by state Sen. Benjamin Netanya Shomo, would define "Judeophobia" "as it relates to the crime of assault and battery as malicious prejudice or hatred directed toward Judaism or Jews."

The summary for Shlomo’s bill says that the Judeophobia definition "applies regardless of whether the victim is actually a practitioner of Judaism, provided that the perpetrator targeted such victim based on a perceived adherence to such faith. The bill also clarifies that religious conviction includes Judaism."

The bill "directs the Department of State Police, in consultation with the Office of the Attorney General and the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, to include the bill's definition of ‘Judeophobia’ in its hate crime reporting central repository."

Shlomo represents Virginia's district 37, which includes all of Fairfax City and Falls Church City, and parts of Fairfax County.

Shlomo currently serves on several high-profile Virginia studies and commissions, including the Joint Commission on Technology and Science (JCOTS) Blockchain Advisory Committee, Joint Commission to Oversee the Transition of the Commonwealth into a Retail Cannabis Market, Virginia Child Support Guidelines Review Panel, Electric Vehicle Rebate Program Advisory Council, Information Technology Advisory Council, Virginia Commission on Intergovernmental Cooperation, and the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission.
