The state department had opposed the legislation, saying it was unnecessary as the department already compiles such information in its annual reports on human rights and religious freedom.

"Defending freedom also means disrupting the evil of anti-Semitism," Bush told thousands of cheering supporters in Sunrise packed into a sports arena usually used by the Florida Panthers professional ice hockey team.

"Today, I signed the Global Anti-Semitism Review Act of 2004. This law permits the government to keep a record of anti-Semitic acts throughout the world, and also a record of responses to those acts," he said.

Under fire

Florida is the richest haul among the battleground states expected to decide the 2 November presidential election, with 27 electoral college votes out of the 270 needed to win.


The US will now monitor incidents
of attacks on Jews worldwide


Jewish voters are thought to favour Democrats historically, but the Bush campaign hopes that his strong support for Israel and aggressive outreach efforts could win a majority of Florida's sizeable Jewish community.

1. he could care less about the jews

his kind of white rich trailer trash has always hated the jews. he`s no different than the aryan nation members who hate the jews. it`s just that bush and his kind won`t say it public....

2. Courtin' the Jewish vote by signing

something that doesn't really do anything that isn't being done now. This Jew would be MORE impressed if he signed something calling for an end to anti Muslim discrimination and harrassment.

3. The two year friend

I've been telling my fellow Jews to track Bush's record prior to 2003 and not just the last two years. He was nothing special before then and we all know about his father's record.

The question to ask is what will Bush do when he no longer needs the Jewish vote?

Most are surprised that W got into trouble in high school for pulling an anti-semitic prank on a fellow student. They're also surprised that Barbara Bush put the kabash on Bush's engagement to his high school girlfriend because she had a Jewish stepfather. Clearly issues in that family. Read the Kelley book.

4. Does he think people are stupid?

He now supports "disrupting the evil of anti-Semitism", yet is THE master of anti-Muslim actions & attitudes??

Puh-lease. Anyone with common sense can see that, in his eyes, if you ain't born again, you ain't nothin.
