62% : The pro-Israel campaign to 'protect' Jews by punishing anti-Zionist speech often targets Jews.
51% : The entire "US education system", according to Project Esther, has been "infiltrated" by "Hamas-supporting organizations" that now "foster antisemitism under the guise of "'pro-Palestinian,' anti-Israel, anti-Zionist narratives ... within the rubric of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and similar Marxist ideology".
51% : Of course, by linking Palestinian solidarity with longstanding rightwing bogeymen like antiracism and communism, Project Esther gives away the game; their "antisemitic" charge is a tool to silence Maga's left-leaning critics in higher education.
46% : Under pressure from the Trump administration, Columbia University expelled a Jewish graduate student and United Auto Workers local president who demonstrated against the war in Gaza. To be clear: the pro-Israel campaign to "protect" Jews by punishing anti-Zionist speech often targets Jews.
44% : American pro-Israel groups including the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), Hillel International, Aipac and the Heritage Foundation have united behind Republican measures to crack down on higher education and its putative antisemitism.
41% : Of course, unlike some pro-Israel groups, the Trump administration has a broader antipathy toward higher education.
33% : Maga's pro-Israel partners do not protect Jews; they help Trump in his war on our academic freedom and open society more generally.

27% : Ultimately, Trump and many in the pro-Israel movement have allied against free speech in higher education because it is a pillar of an open society that threatens both of them.
