Rabbi Jack Moline said the president himself is 'fanning the flames' of bigotry by using anti-Semitic tropes.
Others have warned that the EO will help the government crack down on Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions-related movements, which are pressuring the Israeli government to improve its treatment of Palestinians and stop its violations of international law.
"Now, just days after Trump deployed anti-Semitic tropes in a speech, including ones about money and dual loyalty between America and Israel, he plans to sign an executive order that further weaponizes anti-Semitism and limits free speech," Moline added. The White House has rejected the charge that it is classifying Judaism as a nationality. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 allowed the Department of Education to withhold funding for institutions or programs that discriminate"on the ground of race, color, or national origin." Religion was not included in the definition, but Judaism now is.
