Republican Jewish Coalition national chairman Senator Norm Coleman said “President Trump has shown himself to be the most pro-Jewish president"with anti-semitism executive order
President Trump continues to reconfirm over and over why Bible believing Christians
voted for him in 2016, and why they will again vote for him in 2020 as well. President Trump, unlike other American presidents over the past 30 years, does more than simply pay lip service to Israel and the Jewish people. He gives them support like they've never had under an previous administration. He
moved the US Embassy to Jerusalem, officially recognized Jerusalem as
the capital of Israel, officially recognized Israeli sovereignty of the
Golan Heights, officially recognized Israeli sovereignty
over the Jordan Valley, and the list goes on and on. Someone must have told Donald Trump about Genesis 12.
"And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed." Genesis 12:3 (KJV)
But Democrats in Washington, even the Jewish ones, do not seem to share the president's love for Israel and the Jewish people who live there. Bernie Sanders said as president he will
divert aid to Israel into the hands of Hamas in the West Bank. Elizabeth Warren said as president she will
force Israel to be split in two and given to the Palestinians. The infamous Squad in Congress support
the demonic BDS Movement designed to economically cripple Israel and Jewish businesses. And all these Democrats loves to use US college campuses as live petri dishes in which they inculcate their slithery and slimy anti-semitic doctrine.
So kudos to you, President Trump, for taking a stand for Israel and the Jews, and against anti-semitism, where it will do the most good, on US college campuses. Thank you for reminding me why you have my vote.
Trump signs executive order to fight anti-semitism on US campuses
FROM JPOST: US President Donald Trump announced the signing of an executive order (EO) on Wednesday that calls on government departments enforcing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism.
Specifically, the order is aimed at federally-funded universities and colleges and will require the Department of Education, when reviewing whether there has been a violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, to consider this widely accepted definition of antisemitism as part of its assessment of whether an incident or activity may be antisemitic. As such, according to an explanation of the EO provided by the Anti-Defamation League, criticism of Israel could be considered antisemitic if it becomes “intentional, unlawful, discriminatory intimidation and harassment against Jews.”
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS BECOME RADICALIZED AND THEIR SOCIALIST, PRO-DEATH AND ANTI-ISRAEL AGENDA SHOULD BE TRULY TERRIFYING TO ALL AMERICANS
The IHRA defines antisemitism as “a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.”
Title VI prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color and national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. The Department of Education could cut federal funding for institutions that fail to remedy antisemitic incidents that fall under the title.
A senior administration official told The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday that antisemitism on campuses is often hidden in an anti-Israel agenda. If campuses that receive money from the government adopt the IHRA definition of antisemitism in cases of discrimination, students who will feel that they are being bullied on college campuses would be able to complain to their institution's administration, who will then need to decide if the incident is considered antisemitic.
"We began to focus on this issue in the late winter/spring of this year when we were alarmed frankly at a rise in antisemitic rhetoric, including unfortunately from leading political figures," the official said. "We looked at the data, and we saw that there'd been a rise in antisemitic incidents, and we began a policy process to figure out physically what we could do on the subject."
The majority of the Jewish community celebrated Trump’s announcement.
Republican Jewish Coalition national chairman Senator Norm Coleman called the move “truly historic” and said that “President Trump has extended to Jewish students very strong, meaningful legal protection from antisemitic discrimination.”
Coleman added that President Trump is not only the most pro-Israel president in American history, but with this EO, “President Trump has shown himself to be the most pro-Jewish president, as well."
Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, said, “this is the right move in the fight to tackle anti-semitism head-on.
“In the face of hatred, one must not remain silent, but respond strongly,” Danon continued. “This will target the BDS [Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement] that has grown in recent years. If academic institutions do not act against this antisemitic movement, they will pay a heavy price.”
