October 7, 2024 – Just one year after the US-backed Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip, they have now killed more than 53,000 Palestinians.
The conservative think tank is the same force behind Project 2025, a blueprint for integrating US executive power and building the greatest right-wing dystopia of all time. The “national strategy” proposed by Project Esther, is named after the Biblical Queen, who is believed to save Jews from the extinction of ancient Persia, but it basically consists of criminalizing Israel’s opposition to current genocide and extermination of freedom of speech and thinking.
The first “significant takeout” mentioned in the report is that “the toxic anti-Israel, anti-Zionist and anti-American “pro-Palestinian movement” in America is part of the Global Hamas Support Network (HSN). Don’t worry that in reality there is no such thing as the “Global Hamas Support Network.” HSN’s allegedly “related Hamas Support Organization (HSO)” has never been the Heritage Foundation to take freedom of invention. Among these suspected HSOs are prominent American Jewish organizations such as the Jewish Voice for Peace.
The second “important point” of the report is that the so-called HSN is “supported by activists and funders dedicated to destroying capitalism and democracy.” This is unquestionable from think tanks that, as we speak, are doing their best to eradicate the rest of the democracy in America.
The phrase “capitalism and democracy” appears more than five times in the report, but it is not clear what it has to do with capitalism, except Hamas governs Palestinian territory that has led to billions of dollars in military destruction that we fund over 19 months. Genocide is the best capitalism, at least from the arms industry perspective.
And to follow Project Esther’s genocide logic, protesting against the massive genocide of Palestinians is fundamentally anti-Semitic. Therefore, “the need to pursue a defined national strategy to exterminate the effects of HSN from our society.
The October publication of Heritage Foundation Report came from surveillance of President Joe Biden’s administration. This was diagnosed by a think tank diagnosed as “clearly anti-Israel” despite its complete and complete accomplice in Gaza’s genocide. The report included many suggestions on “how to combat the tragedy of anti-Semitism in the United States.”
Fast forward seven months, and a recent New York Times analysis shows that since President Donald Trump took office in January, “the White House and other Republicans are seeking actions that appear to reflect more than half of Project Esther’s proposal.” They reject efforts to deport legitimate US residents for crimes expressing solidarity with Palestinians, from the threat of withholding huge sums of federal funds to US universities that refuse to silence their resistance to systematic massacre.
Infiltrating American academia “in addition to spreading “anti-Zionist stories” in “universities, high schools, elementary schools” across colleges, high schools and elementary schools, often within the rubric of diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI) and similar Marxist ideology,” and Project Esther’s writers, no matter how big or small, from all networks across the country.”
And that’s not all. “HSN and HSO have spitted anti-Semitic propaganda of prolific and unchecked use of social media platforms such as Tiktok across the digital ecosystem.”
For all these purposes, the policy paper provides many recommendations on how to break down the pro-Palestinian movement in the country and the general humanitarian and ethical attitudes. “HSO-Supporting Fanculty and Staff from educational institutions, “Fearing partnership with HSO” and “Antisematic intos” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit intersing” from “Antisemit inter
Still, despite all of Project Esther’s Rackus to the superficially existential anti-Semitic threat posed by the HSN, “major Jewish organizations either appear to have not participated in drafting the plan or have publicly approved it since it was published,” according to a December article by the Forward.
The Forward, a news outlet for American Jews, reported that the Heritage Foundation “has struggled to attract Jewish supporters due to anti-Semitism plans that appear to have been framed by several evangelical Christian groups, and “focuses on Israeli left critics and ignores anti-separation issues from white hegemonists and other polar groups.”
Meanwhile, in an open letter released this month, influential American Jewish leaders warned that the US “scope of actors” is currently using concerns about higher education, due process, checks and balance, freedom of speech, and the safety of Jews as udgels to undermine the press.”
Now, if the Trump administration appears to employ Project Ester and run with it, it is less of a concern to breed a white Christian nationalist agenda that utilizes Zionism and anti-Semitism accusations for their own extremist purposes. And this, unfortunately, is just the beginning of a much more elaborate project.
