In addition to naming pro-Israel lawmakers to key positions in his cabinet, Trump made a new campaign promise at a recent antisemitism event in Washington DC, pledging to protect Jewish students on American campuses.
"Here is what I will do to defeat anti-Semitism and defend our Jewish citizens in America," he said. "My first week back in the Oval Office my Administration will inform every College president that if you do not end antisemitic propaganda they will lose their accreditation and federal support," Trump pledged. "We will not subsidize the creation of terrorist sympathizers and we're not going to do it certainly on American soil; we're not going to do it anywhere. "Next, I will inform every educational institution in our land that if they permit violence, harassment or threats against Jewish students the schools will be held accountable for violations of the civil rights law," Trump added. "It's very important Jewish Americans must have equal protection under the law and they're going to get it. At the same time, my Administration will move swiftly to restore safety for Jewish students and Jewish people on American streets. |
