Timothy Snyder: Fomenting #Antisemitism: Not Combating It

"As the assault on American higher education continues, I’ve been asked to explain why I believe this policy is antisemitic.

The #tRump people claim to be fighting antisemitism, and the media often accept that framing. I believe, on the contrary, that these actions are antisemitic in intention and in execution. …"

Continued thread

"If one is interested in combating antisemitism, one has to preserve the concept, one has to preserve the word. If we allow it to become just a stick by which people, including antisemites, beat other people, if we allow it to become just one more bureaucratic tool that the government uses in order to deny people their rights or in order to destroy higher education, then it can't be used for the thing that it's meant to be used for…."

"If we allow the government to claim that it is fighting antisemitism when it is in fact fomenting antisemitism, then we lose the concept. We lose the word. We lose the ability to describe the phenomenon. Antisemitism is a very real phenomenon, one which unfortunately is getting worse all the time, not just the United States, but around the world."

#Press#US#Israel

The most influential promoter of #antisemitism in the United States isn’t Elon Musk, with a Sieg Heil salute; nor is it Kanye West, who tweeted that he loved Hitler, or Candace Owens, who promoted the blood-libel conspiracy theory. The pro-Israel lobbying organization #StopAntisemitism wants you to believe the real danger is actually a lady in overalls and a pink headband who sings about how bubble gum is sticky.

The organization, which has spent the past year and a half publicly identifying pro-Palestine protesters, is now coming after Ms. Rachel, a beloved YouTuber known for her videos for babies and toddlers. In a letter posted to social media on Monday, StopAntisemitism asked attorney general Pam Bondi to investigate whether Ms. Rachel is “being funded by a foreign party to push anti-Israel propaganda to skew public opinion” and referred to her as an “amplifier” of pro-Hamas content.

#BrainDrain

#Trump's admin says billions of dollars in cuts are needed to curb the federal deficit & bring the US debt under control.

His cutbacks on #research come amid a broader clash that has seen Trump criticize #universities as *discriminatory* for their #diversity policies & denounce what he sees as a failure by some institutions to protect Jewish students from #antisemitism.

THIS IS BULLSHIT! (AND ILLEGAL!!!)

Pressed for evidence against #MahmoudKhalil, government cites its power to deport people for beliefs

By Jake Offenhartz, April 10, 2025

NEW YORK (AP) — "Facing a deadline from an immigration judge to turn over evidence for its attempted deportation of Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil, the federal government has instead submitted a brief memo, signed by Secretary of State #MarcoRubio, citing the Trump administration’s authority to expel #noncitizens whose presence in the country damages U.S. foreign policy interests.

"The two-page memo, which was obtained by The Associated Press, does not allege any criminal conduct by Khalil, a legal permanent U.S. resident and graduate student who served as spokesperson for campus activists last year during large demonstrations against #Israel’s treatment of #Palestinians and the war in #Gaza.

"Rather, Rubio wrote Khalil could be expelled for his beliefs.

"He said that while Khalil’s activities were 'otherwise lawful,' letting him remain in the country would undermine 'U.S. policy to combat #AntiSemitism [sez the folks who do the #Nazi salute] around the world and in the United States, in addition to efforts to protect Jewish students from harassment and violence in the United States.'

"'Condoning anti-Semitic conduct and disruptive protests in the United States would severely undermine that significant foreign policy objective,' Rubio wrote in the undated memo.

"The submission was filed Wednesday after Judge Jamee Comans ordered the government to produce its evidence against Khalil ahead of a hearing Friday on whether it can continue detaining him during immigration proceedings.

"Attorneys for Khalil said the memo proved the Trump administration was 'targeting Mahmoud’s #FreeSpeech rights about #Palestine.'

"'After a month of hiding the ball since Mahmoud’s late-night unjust arrest in New York and taking him away to a remote detention center in Louisiana, immigration authorities have finally admitted that they have no case whatsoever against him,' the attorneys, Marc Van Der Hout and Johnny Sinodis, said in a joint statement. "

As Ive been saying continually. American Jews tolerance for the #Zionists entity's #genocide in @palestine was always weak and the amount of rabid JEWISH (emphasizing because there is a LARGER NUMBER of American xtian zionists than jews at any point in modern history) zionists? Literally microscopic.
I stick to the claim what little support the entity had has evaporated .

"Jewish advocacy group questions #DHS on plans to use #antisemitism to deny #immigration benefits "

The Trump administration removed their mask on antisemitism.

We know that in the pro-Palestine protests there have been (and continue to be) a mix of both legitimate political protest and antisemitic hate speech, and the Right complained about the antisemitism, while the Left was silent

I complained loudly that the Left had seeded the moral highground to the Right. Now the true motive has become obvious, as we've seen with the deportation of pro-Palestinian protestors *without a hearing or trial*. In other words, without justice and due process.

Now it extends further with a lawyer representing one of these people being detained at the border simply for having a client!

This is antisemitism because they are using Jews as their pawns in their cynical attack both on the Left and I'd argue on Muslims.

Trust me when I tell you that a) This makes Jews less safe worldwide b) They will turn on us very soon.
