I could go on forever about this, but I’ll just say—a healthy democracy functions best when its people are informed, and it’s extremely important that journalism remains an independent & robust enterprise. Many issues with the industry, but its current dismantling is a net negative for any community

Here we see the Heritage Foundation explicitly accusing Jewish Voice for Peace and many other Jewish people of being "antisemitic."
They want Jewish people to be harassed and terrorized as "antisemites" if they don't participate in the Christian Nationalist project represented by gentile Zionism.

After helping elect Trump, the billionaire backed Heritage Foundation is following up Project 2025 with Project Esther, a playbook for repression against the anti-war movement in solidarity with #Palestine.
Using anti-Semitic tropes against "Soros,' it seeks to directly target anti-Zionist Jews.
