A Georgia House committee approved a bill Tuesday that targets crimes against Jewish people and threatening antisemitic imagery such as swastikas.
The measure defines antisemitism so that it would be included under Georgia’s hate crimes law, and it would prohibit using swastikas with the intent to terrorize another person.
The effort to provide legal protections for Jewish people comes after antisemitic flyers were found in the driveways of some predominantly Jewish neighborhoods earlier this month.
