President Trump is going to change the way the U.S education department investigates anti-Semitism, to include delegitimizing Israel or holding Israel to a double standard that would not be expected from any other democratic nation. This is fabulous news. Anti-Israel and pro-BDS activity is raging on campuses all over the United States. As a result, pro-Israel Jewish students are being terrorized on college campuses.
“Palestinian” and pro-BDS groups criticized the decision harshly, claiming that their free speech rights are being violated. They’re lying. It is the free speech rights of pro-Israel Jews (on college campuses) that have been violated by the supporters of the BDS movement and other radical left-wing groups.
Pro-“Palestinian” groups refuse to allow civilized debate on the Israel-“Palestinian” conflict, because they know they can’t win. Instead, they bully, marginalize, intimidate, humiliate, and assault pro-Israel Jewish students, making it next to impossible for pro-Israel Jews (and non-Jews) to exercise their freedom of speech rights. President Trump’s decision was not only a victory for pro-Israel Jewish students, but also for Americans who care about freedom of speech.

President Trump has quite simply been a godsend for Israel and the Jewish people. President Trump has done more for Israel in less than two years than AIPAC has done in 50. Significantly more. Sadly, President Trump can expect to receive only 25 percent of the Jewish vote in 2020, at best.
“Trump administration adopts new definition of anti-Semitism in schools,” by Michael Stratford, Politico, September 11, 2018:
The Trump administration is changing how the Education Department investigates allegations of discrimination against Jewish students, backing an approach that is favored by pro-Israel groups but that critics worry will stifle free speech and criticism of Israel on campus.
The policy change was outlined in a letter last month by Kenneth Marcus, who leads the department’s Office for Civil Rights, in which he re-opened a 2011 investigation into Rutgers University in connection with alleged discrimination against Jewish students. The letter was obtained by POLITICO.
Marcus wrote in the letter that the Education Department, in its investigations into discrimination, would use the “working definition” of anti-Semitism that is “widely used by governmental agencies” including the State Department.
That definition includes examples in which delegitimizing Israel, or holding it to a double standard not expected of other democratic nations, are deemed anti-Semitic.
That meant the Office for Civil Rights for the first time was using a definition of anti-Semitism that some Jewish activists have long sought as a tool to curb discrimination on campuses. But some civil liberties organizations and advocates for Palestinian rights believe that the definition is so broad that it would label criticism of Israel as anti-Semitic.
Education Department spokeswoman Liz Hill denied that the administration had made a change. “The Department has not adopted a definition of anti-Semitism,” Hill said in an email.
“Secretary DeVos has made clear that OCR will look at the specific facts of each case and make determinations accordingly,” she added. “The facts in the Rutgers case, many of which were disregarded by the previous administration, are troubling.”

Trump and his administration’s tackling of the never-ending anti-Semitism and anti-Israel within the education system will, needless to say, raise the hackles of the copious anti-Semites, administrators, and faculty. Criticizing Trump for trampling on their First Amendment Rights; the right, of course, to disseminate Jew-hatred to the student body; the latter susceptible and in many cases held to ransom by antisemitic professors and teachers. Freedom of speech or thought and intellectual integrity have become a no-no in the hallowed halls of academia. A student who is not abiding by a teacher or professor’s radical, akin to Islam antisemitism, and anti-Democratic diktat is aware he or she will fail.
Progressive/Fascists deem themselves above the riffraff, the KKK and others of its kind while they are the hate-mongers of the same accord or worse. Those of the leftist-Fascist persuasion perceive themselves as the intellectual creme de la creme; therefore, they are not bigots, least of all anti-Semitic. The confirmation that this fetid body’s manipulating the worldview of our children is the rabid anti-Semitism, the Jew-hatred permeating our lower schools, colleges, and universities. The nouveau Liberal-Fascists enabled by the Democrats, the DOJ, and other federal and state agencies.
Finally, a President who, unlike his predecessors, especially the new Messiah, Obama, whose loathing of Jews/Israel was shameless and re-energized by him and his party. Trump is not fearful of the backlash from the Jew-hating Democrats and every other antisemitic leftist/fascist within the education system or elsewhere.
Unlike those preceding him, he, Trump, is a man of principles, Judeo-Christian ethics and is not apologetic. The greatest hate-mongers are those of the leftist scourge, allied with Islam, the making of a toxic concoction.

Agree. Trump was conned by Abbas initially but when he found out the truth boy was he mad as hell at the jihadi http://bit.ly/2rOmfyJ
That’s when he decided enough is enough and that inspite of huge opposition led to shifting of Embassy to Jerusalem and No more funding to the jihadis.

Hitler allied with Islam and sent Muslims out across Europe to kill any and all non-aryans ….. and we know how that ended.
The real insanity of it was that Hebrews are Aryan! They are not a separate race.

Thanks, Sherry, I am with you, it is mind-boggling but there are Jews that see through the fog created by leftist progressives, and their inbreeding with fascism.

Being a “Jew” is not a separate race….it is a religion….a belief system…it’s the same thing if say a Catholic doesn’t follow or agree with the Pope….that doesn’t make them anti-Catholic….many people who belonged to the Catholic Church have turned against the Pope, doesn’t make them “anti Catholic”. …doesn’t mean they don’t believe in God.
The Left would have you think everyone in America is compartmentalized into these different groups …..to set us against each other….Saul Alinsky taught them how to separate groups and then set them against each other….”Divide and Conquer.”
Wasn’t it Jefferson who said that America could never be conquered from without….only from within?
It’s come down to this: No matter the race, religion, or lack thereof……it’s about being an American or being the enemy that wants to bring America and her people down to a pile of dust and despair…..slavery to a Global master….it’s just that simple.

The left doesn’t really care about anti-Semitism (except when used as a convenient political tool against some conservatives).

“Sadly, President Trump can expect to receive only 25 percent of the Jewish vote in 2020, at best.”
If so, then they are not real Jews and owe their allegiance to Islam, Libtards, and those profoundly affected by TDS…..Their religion means nothing to them….only to those who are tearing down America brick by brick…..statue by statue.
Religion is a belief in something bigger than our individual selves..these scum only believe in Godless leaders….
America was founded on Judeo-Christian principles. It’s not just Jews that have turned against their religion and aligned with the hateful….many non-Jews spit in the eye of God every chance they get. They give their heart, mind, and soul to those who want America defeated and crushed into the dirt. These poltroons and bandersnatches have shown time and time again that basically they hate ALL HUMANS….it’s not just confined to religions…
They are reaching a tipping point where even the most sedate and uninvolved of Americans are going to become aware and will rise up in a way the Left and enemies of America have never seen before. It’s coming.

Trump is truly a “Godsend”. Ziggy46 put it perfectly.

I am a retired teacher and unequivocally proclaim that there is no hope for America as long as Christians and conservatives allow our children to be indoctrinated in the pagan schools.
