The extent of radicalization and Jew hatred in America cannot be underestimated. It has become systematized in our education, from kindergarten to college. It has become normalized in our media and everyday life.
Progressive politicians and academics are accelerating the entrenchment of an anti-American agenda to destroy our democratic values ​​and replace them with failed Marxist-Islamist ideologies. “Death to America” and “Death to the Jews” are steadily chanted on our streets and campuses by people carrying Hamas and ISIS flags.

The so-called Intifada has become globalized and its consequences are being felt around the world streets of New Orleans and on our campuses. The Trump administration has pledged to use the tools – and the people – needed to coordinate a government response to this crisis.
In previous administrations, the government office charged with combating anti-Semitism was the Special Envoy for Monitoring and Combating Anti-Semitism, an ambassadorial role whose primary responsibilities include tracking anti-Semitism worldwide and representing the United States in addressing the issue internationally . However, the Special Envoy will not be considered a moral authority if we fail to effectively contain extremism within our borders.

Given the scale of the problem and the fact that domestic anti-Semitism is inherently linked to systemic radicalization, either the role of Special Envoy should be expanded to address domestic anti-Semitism and its causes, or the government would benefit from an additional position: an ‘Anti-Semitism Czar’ to coordinate the government’s response at home.
Modern anti-Semitism in America stems from a broader anti-American ideology often labeled “progressive,” which has adopted elements of Marxism, embraced radical Islam, and promoted narratives of “oppression” to justify violent actions. Such radicalization has taken root in our media, academia, and among certain individuals in government. It is reflected in the Diversity Equity and Inclusion doctrine, critical race theory, efforts to defund the police and occupy campuses.
During the Biden-Harris administration, we have witnessed a disturbing wave of domestic ideologies that justify the murder of insurance executives in New York and pedestrians in New Orleans, and endorse Hamas’ kidnapping of American hostages as “resistance by any means necessary.” ‘.

President-elect Trump has shown unwavering moral clarity in addressing anti-Semitism as part of the larger, more systemic problem that it is, making protecting the civil rights of Jewish Americans a key part of his vision to restore democracy. recover and make America great again. .
An “expanded” special envoy or anti-Semitist czar would coordinate federal law enforcement’s response to Jew-hatred and its root causes, ensure the National Guard is deployed when needed, root out malign foreign influence and dark money, non- help prosecute registered foreign agents, coordinate investigations into shadowy entities parroting terrorist propaganda, and oversee Office of Civil Rights investigations to ensure anti-Semitism is remedied.
After October 7, 2023, people will become aware of the threat that anti-Jewish hatred poses, not only to Jews and Israel, but also to the stability of the West.
Many of the tools used by previous administrations to combat anti-Black extremism can also effectively address Jew hatred: ensuring the FBI opens field offices where they are needed most, dedicating resources to ensuring federal laws are enforced , and closing loopholes in the law. law that has allowed Jew-haters and other bigots to escape the legal consequences of their actions.
Of paramount importance is establishing a link between international law and domestic radicalization, especially with regard to attempts to distort international law and delegitimize Israel’s right to defend itself against terrorism. These actions serve as justification for domestic radicalization and the motivating factors behind acts of homegrown anti-Semitism.

After October 7, 2023, people will become aware of the threat that anti-Jewish hatred poses, not only to Jews and Israel, but also to the stability of the West. The call for genocide of the Jews is part of the larger call for the destruction of Western democracy, and I have long argued that combating Jew-hatred must be an instrumental part of addressing and maintaining the issues affecting all minority communities of the civil rights of all communities.

Americans voted for Trump believing he can achieve this, and I have every reason to believe he can. He understands, as I do, that anti-Semitism is not just an attack on the Jewish people. It is an attack on all of us. Expanding the role of special envoy, or appointing an anti-Semitic czar, would be monumental.
Whichever option President-elect Trump chooses, treating anti-Semitism as a domestic civil rights issue with national security implications will be essential to an effective response.
