Summary
US universities are bracing for funding cuts and investigations as President-elect Trump and his allies target them in their anti-“woke” campaign, using the IHRA definition of antisemitism, which conflates criticism of Israel with antisemitism, to justify crackdowns on pro-Palestine activism.
Measures include threatening federal funding, revoking accreditation, and pressuring institutions to suppress protests.
Critics warn these efforts will chill free speech, stifle academic inquiry, and escalate censorship.
Civil liberties groups and educators vow to resist these attacks on higher education and political expression.
Curious how they’ll be using antisemitism as a justification to attack Jews.
The only antisemitism here that’s happening is the State attacking anti-zionist Jews
They’ve been doing it for decades, and the media is always complicit. It’s like Chomsky wrote “Manufacturing Consent” specifically with Zionism in mind.
I only saw the movie. Did he specifically reference Zionism?
It won’t be Jews this time it will be Muslims. The hate verbiage is already there: moose-lambs, sand-removeds, towel-heads, terrorists, etc. etc. Soon it will just be “well let’s just kill them all they aren’t human anyway”
What do you mean ‘soon it will be’? It has been like that for Palestinians. And despite the complicity and even AID by Egypt and Jordan the way how Israelis talk about those countries is as if it is still 1948 and Gamal Abdel Nassir is saying he will push the Israelis into the sea.
Its both
No way. AIPAC pumps too much money into the government and republicunts are already in a frothing rage at Muslims for having the audacity to exist. I’m sure Jews will get caught up in it like every other group, but Muslims will be the primary target.
Many of the recent events where police attacked peaceful occupations against the genocide were exclusively Jewish protestors (JVP, INN, etc)
