Trump’s actions on campuses have not helped. Some campuses have become hotbeds of antisemitism, but his actions could have a chilling effect on speech.

The bill doesn’t say it’s antisemitic if you criticize the policies of Israel. Israelis criticize the policies of Israel. But denying Jews self-determination is seen by some as antisemitic, including me.
Denying Palestinians from self-determination is anti-Palestinian.
The antisemitism bill that has stalled in the Senate would help. It establishes a definition that would be profoundly informative for people. It offers education and training.
Some people have convinced themselves that Israelis are genocidal and evil; that Jews associated with and supportive of Israel are also genocidal and evil. That’s a blood libel, and it’s been spreading like wildfire for 18 months. I believe it’s why Yaron and Sarah were executed.
Israel has gone after Hezbollah in Lebanon, too, and there have been very few civilian casualties. The difference is Hamas.
Hezbollah allows civilians to flee.
Israel has gone after Hamas. Because of the tunnels & Hamas’s tactic of using civilians as human shields, innocent people & children have been killed.
But innocent Gazans have been killed in this war. It’s terrible and I want this war to end. I’ll continue to push for a ceasefire that brings every hostage home and a surge in humanitarian aid.
The war in Gaza against Hamas has also been awful. Hamas cannot remain in power. Neither Israelis nor Palestinians are safe with Hamas in power.
What happened to Israelis on October 7th, 2023, was barbaric. Kidnapping Israelis, holding them hostage in Hamas tunnels, some of whom were executed, is also barbaric.
A blood libel is a lie about Jews killing innocent people, usually children. Ancient in its form, it spreads, Jew hate follows, and usually – Jews are killed.
A second explanation has to do with blood libels, which are core to understanding antisemitism. encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/a...
We allow people to “otherize” and demonize folks, and we forget to appreciate that it often turns violent.
Everyone has to do a better job of ensuring disagreements don’t lead to this disturbing and dangerous process.
“Otherization” is very real and refers to the process of treating a person or group as different and alien – and it can lead to marginalization, exclusion, and murder. The tragedy of war throughout the globe should never lead to violence against its diaspora communities.
One answer is that what happened on Wednesday is similar to the outrageous murder of Wadea Al-Fayoume, a 6-year-old Palestinian-American child outside of Chicago in 2023.

So how does someone execute two innocent people outside of a Jewish event in DC about supporting humanitarian diplomacy in the Middle East?
Most just want Palestinians to be safe and healthy, and to be in a position to rebuild. They want self-governance and self-determination for Palestinians.
I do too.
To be clear, most of the protestors aren’t violent. They hate the war and suffering of innocent people.
I hate the war and suffering of innocent people.
We worry about being on Capitol Hill, too. Without going into specific security concerns, we know that what happened to Yaron and Sarah could happen to one of us as we move around the Capitol.
We think about it every time we leave our offices, leave a committee hearing, or cross the street.
Many other Jewish members of Congress and local advocates who have also been vocal about Israel and the war deal with similar safety issues.
Some members have constant police protection when they’re home.
Anti-Israel protesters have followed me around for the past year and a half. They don’t just protest. They get in my face, screaming about the “genocide” I’m causing. They threaten me & my family. “You will pay for this,” they say.
We woke one morning to this. They slept outside our home for days.
