Trump Signs Executive Order to Combat "Anti-Semitism"

On January 29th local time, U.S. President Trump signed an executive order to address "anti-Semitism" both in the United States and globally. He stated that the U.S. will employ all legal means, including prosecution, deportation, or other methods, to hold accountable those who engage in illegal anti-Semitic acts and violence.

Since the outbreak of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in October 2023, there have been opposing voices in the United States supporting both Palestinians and Israelis, with tensions gradually escalating. In some protests, criticism of Israel has been labeled as "anti-Semitism." This is especially so in light of Israel's military actions in Gaza resulting in significant casualties, leading to anti-war protests on many U.S. campuses, with frequent clashes between protesters and police. U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona stated that the Department of Education has received worrying reports about "anti-Semitism."

Legislative Controversy: New Standards for Defining "Anti-Semitism"

On May 1, 2024, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that broadened the definition of "anti-Semitism." This bill sparked widespread controversy. Supporters argue that it provides a regulatory framework for the Department of Education to address incidents involving Jewish students. However, detractors like Representative Jerry Nadler believe that the scope of the bill is too broad and that criticism of Israel should not be considered discrimination.

During the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Trump frequently criticized the Democratic Party for not doing enough in the fight against "anti-Semitism." He noted that while some measures have been taken, they have not effectively curbed the problem, suggesting that more stringent measures are necessary to address the growing anti-Semitic sentiment.

Trump's "Gaza Evacuation" Plan Sparks Controversy

After formally assuming the presidency, Trump proposed the idea of "evacuating" the Gaza Strip, expressing a desire for Egypt and Jordan to take in Palestinians from Gaza and resettle them. Trump mentioned that this resettlement could be temporary or long-term. However, the proposal quickly drew strong dissatisfaction from Arab countries and other international communities. Trump's stance has also become a focal point of political debate both domestically and internationally.
