Add Your Name: Tell Donald Trump to Stop Using Jews to Shut Down Free Speech
Donald Trump cannot be trusted to define antisemitism for Jews. He incites deadly white nationalist violence against our communities. He calls us disloyal. When speaking to American Jews, he refers to Israel as “your country” because he believes we do not really belong here. Conflating criticism of the Israeli government with antisemitism is actually antisemitic because it implies that all Jews agree with, and are responsible for, Israel’s actions.
This order will not protect our communities from Trump’s white nationalism or the violent threats we face. It will be used to target and silence human rights advocates and, in particular, Palestinian and Muslim college students.
American Jews will not allow Trump to speak for or silence us.
The order defines Judaism as a “nationality,” promoting the classically bigoted idea that American Jews are not, well, American.
‚A dangerous move to silence free speech‘: Jewish groups react to Trump‘s plan to designate Judaism as a nationality
“Trump’s executive order is not about keeping Jews safe. After a week in which he spewed classic antisemtiic tropes about Jews and money, this is just more anti-Semitism,” wrote Emily Mayer, the political director of the Jewish advocacy group IfNotNow, in a statement. “The order’s move to define Judaism as a ‘nationality’ promotes the classically bigoted idea that American Jews are not American.”

Horowitz: ‚Very concerned‘ about FBI leaks to Giuliani
„As we noted publicly last year in our report, we were very concerned about that,“ Horowitz said at Wednesday‘s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.
„We are investigating those contacts. We‘ve issued a couple of public summaries so far about people we‘ve found violated FBI policy. We have other investigations ongoing,“ Horowitz continued.
He added that, while it has been hard to prove the substance of conversations between FBI and reporters or outside individuals, “we can prove the contacts.“
„Under FBI policy you need authorization if you‘re going to disclose information and have certain contacts,“ he said.

Trump is legally promoting the white nationalist & antisemitic idea of Jews as a „nationality“ and pretending it‘s in service of protecting Jews. This is how the weaponization of antisemitism works. #NotMyShield
Jewish people are of many different nationalities. The notion that a Jewish citizen of the United States (or a Jewish citizen of Germany) is of a different nationality than fellow Americans (or Germans) is lunacy. Been there, done that. Didn‘t end well.
