Why Trump's Executive Order Protecting Jews Is Both Legal and Necessary
By Paul Dowling
"This administration's commitment to open debate and the pursuit of truth on our nation's campuses is unwavering. In enforcing Title VI against the wider spectrum of prohibited discrimination, government agencies will continue to respect the free flow of ideas, even those that are detestable, and enforce critical protections for free speech and political debate. But we will stand firmly against using taxpayer resources to entrench and subsidize invidious discrimination." —Jared Kushner, senior adviser to the president
An Emergency Meeting at Valley Beth Shalom
Five years ago, this author attended an emergency meeting of Jewish congregants that was called on a weeknight at Valley Beth Shalom, a synagogue in Encino, California. A UCLA student had been invited to speak about the problem of anti-Semitism on campus. Apparently, Jews were being targeted by Palestinian Muslims, due to their support for the Boycott, Divest, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel. Jews were being told they could not run for office on campus, were being told they were unfit for certain other roles or jobs, and were even being violently attacked. These were mainly American students who were being mistreated, based on hatred being directed toward Israel for its government policies affecting Palestinians living in Gaza.
