In an interview actually with a member of the Heritage Foundation, they said something along the lines of, If Jews were doing their job countering anti-Semitism, we wouldn't be in the position we're in now. So the plan really derides Jews throughout it.

The Book of Esther, it's a text that Jews read once a year on the holiday of Purim. In the story, Queen Esther makes an intervention with the king in which a mortal decree that the king's advisor had made against the Jewish people is instead turned against the advisor. So the victims become the heroes.

But within the story is also the idea that those lines are not so binary and that what is good and what is evil may change. The story of Esther has been repurposed by far-right Christian political movements. There's a phrase from the text that Esther was put into a position of power for such a time as this.

And that phrase has been used by extremist groups like Moms for Liberty, protesters at the US Capitol on January 6th, the Esther call to the mall that brought hundreds of evangelical women to DC to protest reproductive rights.

Queen Esther is invoked for this idea of spiritual warfare that must be waged against evil in the world, this battle against demonic forces that Christian nationalists believe they are in. So it makes sense that the Heritage Foundation would invoke this Christian nationalist frame for a kind of warfare against liberal civil society.

Next question. No, just kidding. We cannot terrorize or incarcerate or deport. port or fire or infiltrate our way out of antisemitism. That's just not how it works. And we certainly can't dismantle constitutional protections as a way to combat antisemitism when we know that Jewish safety in the U.S. depends on constitutional democracy and minority protections.

So, deporting international students doesn't combat antisemitism. Public firings don't combat antisemitism. Withholding funds from research institutions doesn't combat antisemitism. Arresting activists doesn't combat antisemitism.

And there is no city or country in the world where these kinds of actions have been applied that have seen any increase in Jewish safety or decrease in antisemitic ideas or behaviors.
