Trump signed an executive order at the reception extending Title VI protections of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to cover Jewish students on college campuses. He said:

This is our message to universities, if you want to accept the tremendous federal dollars that you get every year, you must reject anti-Semitism, it’s very simple. My administration will never tolerate the suppression or persecution or silencing of the Jewish people.

Love. That. Man. #GOAT

“With one heart America weeps for the lives lost, with one voice we vow to crush the monstrous evil of antisemitism whenever and wherever it appears,” @POTUS said.

Donald Trump Celebrates Hanukkah, Denounces Antisemitic Attack in New Jersey

By Breitbart, December 12, 2019:
President Donald Trump hosted a Hanukkah celebration at the White House on Wednesday, condemning another antisemitic attack in the United States.

“Yesterday two wicked murderers opened fire at a kosher supermarket and killed four innocent souls including a brave police officer who faced down the shooter,” Trump said.

The president condemned the shooting attack Tuesday in a Kosher market in Jersey City, New Jersey.

“With one heart America weeps for the lives lost, with one voice we vow to crush the monstrous evil of antisemitism whenever and wherever it appears,” Trump said.

One of the suspects was linked to the Black Hebrew Israelites, a hate group, according to reports.

The president also welcomed Army Veteran Oscar Stewart and Border Patrol Agent Jonathan Morales to the event, thanking them for their heroic actions to stop a mass shooting at a synagogue in California in April.

Stewart spoke at the event, choking up while recalling scripture and thanking the president for his actions to protect people of faith:

America is a nation of many, many, people and we need to remember, whatever God that you pray to, whatever religion you practice, we are all Americans and we need to love each other and we will conquer hate.

Other guests included lawyer Alan Dershowitz, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, and Evangelical Pastor Robert Jeffress.

Trump also welcomed 102-year-old Rosalee Glass, a Holocaust survivor who came to America after World War II.

“In honor of Rosalee and the millions of Jews who suffered unthinkable persecution, we renew our pledge now and always, ‘Never again.’”

Trump also invited a 12-year-old boy, Austin Polanski from San Francisco, who wrote him a letter about the meaning of Hanukkah.

Trump signed an executive order at the reception extending Title VI protections of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to cover Jewish students on college campuses. He said:

This is our message to universities, if you want to accept the tremendous federal dollars that you get every year, you must reject anti-Semitism, it’s very simple. My administration will never tolerate the suppression or persecution or silencing of the Jewish people.

The president signed the document and presented several pens from the ceremony to those gathered for the event.

Dershowitz hailed the signing of the executive order as one of the most significant moments in history in the ongoing fight against antisemitism:

It is a game-changer, it will go down in history as one of the most important events in the 2000-year battle against antisemitism. You will be remembered by history for all time for having signed this very important order.

The crowd shouted “Four more years!” as the president left the event.

There is but one leader of the West who dares condemn not merely the recent murder in the New Jersey kosher market but all antisemitism, anti-Israel vitriol, Donald Trump.

The Democratic-Islamic, antisemitic, anti-Israel Party will wax insincere banalities while fanning the flames of Jew-Israel-hatred. Many Jews, blindly, trust the hypocritical platitudes from the Democrats’ gobs, antisemitism, and, more so, continue to support their nemesis. Happy Hanukkah!

It sounds like UK Jews have seen the light and not voting for Labor.
I hope more see that here when it comes to NOT voting for DEMS.

God bless President Trump V.S.G. … and God bless America!

Now if we can just extend the same privileges to Americans on the basis of ethnicity and national origin …

Exactly, Dan, the hate-mongering Left, whether it be the Democrats or a so-called educator, it affects all Americans whose politics or faith does not align with the hate-mongers. The blatant indoctrination of students by fear-mongering, bullying remains untethered. One can only hope that the President goes full tilt by reestablishing all students’ rights to intellectual integrity, freedom of speech, and thought.

All the best to you and yours!

EXCELLENT.

Now lets see if those Democrats have the gaul to repeal that law in the years to come.

For someone the Dems and the rest of the left calls an antisemite he proves them wrong time and time again.

In reality he treats everyone the same unless he catches you in a lie or being two faced, and then he calls you out straight to your face. Hardly the bigot the left labels him. Race and religion play no part in his behaviour.

The definition of mensch.
