When “the Jews” on side “will finally speak against their enemies?

The Trump administration movements to address unbridled anti-Semitism on American university campuses have finally provided Jews something that the White House of Biden-Harris did not fail so frustratingly, a feeling that Washington is taking this crisis seriously.

The appointment of the veteran civil rights lawyer Leo Terrell to direct the task force of the Department of Justice to combat anti -Semitism; the freezing of $ 400 million in federal funds for the University of Columbia; demands to protect Jewish university students for new Secretary of the Linda McMahon Department of Education; and the controversial arrest and the possible deportation of the anti-Israel activist Mahmoud Khalil point to Trump’s commitment to Jewish security through the fiscal procedure and the force of the law.

Many American Jews have received Trump’s hard line approach and with good reasons. According to a January January report, the Jews were directed in almost 350 hate crimes Incidents in New York City last year – more than all other combined minorities. (In comparison, there were only 43 reported incidents of Islamophobia during the same period of time).

At the national level, antismitical incidents increased more than 200% in the year after the invasion of Hamas in southern Israel in October 2023, According to the Anti-Defamation League.

As certain Jewish groups applaud Trump’s repression, civil liberty organizations require Khalil’s release and allege the head of the green card and the legal permanent The American resident has been “unconstitutionally”.

But beyond current failures, the White House anti -Semitism impulse provides a much more significant opportunity in this current moment of fear and threat: the opportunity for Jews, both in the United States and abroad, more fully (more fully (and finally) Get up and advocate for your own safety.

In fact, while post-oct. Period 7 has seen the emergence of “accidental activists” committed to addressing anti -Semitism, many Jews have been left out: silence, scared, anxious and uncertain. Others, such as the author Peter Beinart and the filmmaker Jonathan Glazer, have actually used their public profiles to attack Israel, which seems to blame the Jewish nation as the cause of the current anti -Semitism emergency.

At a time when Jewish unity has never needed more, many Jews are promoting divisions exploited by groups that sing by “intifada” and prevent Jewish university students from attending classes.

This is not entirely surprising. Few minorities have supported or invested more in leading left ideologies such as Dei and other racial preference programs than US Jews. In fact, during the apogee of the #BlackliveSmatter protests in August 2020, more than 600 Jewish groups signed an open letter published in the New York Times Supporting the Pro-Negra Social Justice Movement. And they did it despite the disconcerting hug for BLM leadership of anti -rhetoric In his 2016 seminal manifesto, which declared Israel a “state of apartheid” and accused him of “genocide.”

Meanwhile, in the University Campus, the leaders of Dei as the former administrator of the University of Michigan, Rachel Dawson, have supposedly Jewish students framed as “rich and privileged” With little need for institutional support that your office provides to most of the other minority groups.

The result: the Jews have drowned by an excess identity policy industry that has benefited from their philanthropy but could not defend them in return.

In fact, even during the apogee of the controversy surrounding the recent book of the author Ta-Nehisi Coates, “the message”, many Jews regretted their antisemy tropes privately, but they told me that they were too scared to be “canceled” or called “racist” to publicly denounce their writing.

Much of this fear is linked to the activist judicial systems that have not been able to prosecute the agitators Antijudío and Antiisraelí. Almost all students at Columbia University arrested during the camps last year, for example, They were allowed to return to their classroomsAnd almost everyone saw their positions Left by Manhattan prosecutors. This is the type of impunity and lack of responsibility. Trump’s new efforts aim to reverse, along with the silencing and intimidation that have accompanied him.

While Khalil’s destiny is still uncertain, the White House has made it clear that the anti-Semitic tide of the Biden-Harris era must be reigned. And they are providing the muscle for this to happen. But the White House can only do a lot; Ultimately, Jews themselves must demand that their needs be heard, their guaranteed security, as well as the other minority groups for those who have defended so vocally.

There is no more powerful weapon for Hamas and its global band of flatterers and facilitators than Jewish silence. That is why the time for Jewish shyness is over. He loves Trump or hates him, if he can commit to defending the Jews worldwide, the Jews, even throughout the barrier, he must certainly also do so.
