"The Democrats today try to call Trump’s actions extreme. However, if you’re a Jewish student aware of what’s happening — from violent protests on Ivy League campuses to overt antisemitism misrepresented as activism — you understand that strong action is not extreme. It is necessary."
"As a young Jewish American, I have always been proud of my family’s history and perseverance: some members of my family survived the Holocaust, others escaped Soviet oppression, and almost all rebuilt a life in America with little other than determination and faith. Their stories taught me early on that freedom is fragile — and that you have to fight to protect it.
"'Now, as I prepare for college, I see antisemitism rising in places that are supposed to be civilization’s great centers of learning and intellectual freedom. Recent reports indicate that antisemitic incidents on college campuses are increasing, affecting real students who face harassment, threats, and even violence simply for being Jewish. This reality has shaped my political views and made me appreciate leaders who don’t just talk about protecting minorities — they actually do it. That’s why I support President Trump.
" 'President Trump’s actions against antisemitism are real, not symbolic. Under his direct leadership, his administration made it clear that colleges and universities will lose federal funding if they allowed antisemitism to flourish. Schools had a choice: take meaningful steps to stamp out anti-Jewish harassment, intimidation, and violence or face serious consequences. Columbia University, the University of Pennsylvania, Brown University, and Harvard University, among others, have been explicitly warned that inaction would lead to a loss of federal support, ensuring that Jewish students could attend campus without fear.
" 'Earlier, in his first term as president, Trump also strengthened protections under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. For the first time, antisemitism was formally recognized as a violation of civil rights on college campuses. Previously, universities could overlook antisemitic harassment, but now they can be held legally accountable.
" 'Beyond the campus, Trump’s Department of Justice established a task force dedicated to fighting antisemitic hate crimes. Working closely with local law enforcement and community groups, this task force has led to a notable increase in hate crime prosecutions related to antisemitism — data from official reports indicates a significant rise in cases compared to previous years.
" 'When it comes to immigration, Trump is taking a tough but fair stand. He made it clear that foreigners on student visas who participate in antisemitic hate could be deported. The Democrats label this approach as harsh, but I call it common sense. If you come to this country to spread hate and division, you don’t belong here. The United States should welcome people who respect its values — not those who seek to destroy them." . . .

Greta Thunberg named 'Antisemite of the Week' by Jewish advocacy group
“She has sadly transformed her activism into a platform for vile Jew-hatred,” the organization added.
She joined pro-Palestinians just days after Oct. 7, posting a photo of herself holding a sign reading “Stand with Gaza” — alongside a toy octopus, which some read as an allusion to the Nazis’ antisemitic propaganda visualizing Judaism’s supposed network of control over the world.
"Thunberg — who is autistic — later removed the photo and claimed she was “completely unaware” of the historical use of antisemitic octopus imagery and clarified she meant for it to represent her emotions."
"“The toy in the picture is a tool often used by autistic people as a way to communicate feelings,” she said.". . .
