Trump signs executive order combating antisemitism

Dershowitz: “No more important event to turn universities away from being bastions of hatred and discrimination than this executive order being signed today. It is a game changer. It will go down in history as one of the most important events in the 2,000 year battle against antisemitism”

The Trump administration will now classify Judaism as a nationality, rather than just a religion, after the president signs a bill to take on antisemitism on college campuses.

  1. It will of course be challenged all the way to the SCOTUS by the Israel-bashing organizations of self-loathing Jews like J-Street, Jews for Justice in Palestine, etc.

  2. Great action by Trump. Excellent observation by Dershowitz.

    Hours after a Jewish-owned grocery store in Jersey City was attacked, an Americans Against Antisemitism representative went to the scene and recorded local residents gathered outside to blame Jews for their own deaths.

    Former NY State Assemblyman Dov Hikind responded to the incident, saying “While the Jewish blood of terror victims was still warm, local residents gathered outside not to show support, not to offer help, but to condemn Jews, blame Jews for their own deaths, and cheer it on.

    “The big story here is that not only was there a horrible terror attack motivated by antisemitism that occurred, but it happened in a context in which wishing death on Jews seems totally normal,” said Hikind.

    Calls have increased recently to Jewish communities in Europe and the United States not to wait for a signal from establishment leadership but to pre-empt and evacuate the deteriorating environments and move to Israel as soon as possible.

    Israpundit, about how to respond to the rising tide of antisemitic violence. While the MSM has done a fairly adequate job of reporting the facts of these individual incidents, analysis has been inadequate and recommendations for addressing the problem almost completely absent. Jewish sites need to debate the following issues: how to respond to the worldwide increse in antisemitic violence? Aliya? Organized physical self-defense? A massive counter-propaganda offensive? Frequent, angry Jewish demonstrations? All of the above?
    Also we Jews should be examining the relationship between anti-Israel propagand and the worldwide increase in antisemitic violence– including propaganda that is not explicitly and in so many wordsdirect against Jews per se; the role of the Jewish ‘massochists” (as Dr. Gerstenfeld describes them) in causing the violence; how to motivate the Israel government to finally initiate a counter-propaganda campaign; how to cope with the Jewish organizations that are failing to adequately address the violence; and similar issues.
