A U.S. government plan is being enacted right now to surveil, silence, and deport people who speak out for Palestinian rights.

It’s called Project Esther — and it makes “cancel culture” look like child’s play.

Project Esther is a plan led by the Heritage Foundation to criminalize Palestine advocacy in the U.S. It seeks to equate support for Palestinian rights with terrorism, pushing for firings, deportations, defunding, and censorship. It’s a blueprint to silence a movement and… pic.twitter.com/T4WGUmcjY4

It is reprehensible how corrupt governments weaponize identity politics to try to get away with mass murder. Standing up for Palestinian children does not mean you are anti-Semitic. It means you are a decent human being who is against the mass slaughter of innocent children. pic.twitter.com/TQbviWhg99

Republicans’ real issue is with free speech and education—not addressing antisemitism and other forms of hatred on college campuses.

No one should be punished for peaceful protest; no one should be threatened for exercising free speech; and no one should be deported for speaking out for human rights. All students should feel like they belong on their campus and are free to be themselves without being harassed…

Netanyahu has violated the ceasefire agreement with continued mass bombings in Gaza. Families are being wiped out, hospitals have collapsed, children remain buried under the rubble. Congress must act now to stop the flow of weapons and end U.S. complicity in this massacre!

In BBC coverage, mentions of Israeli and Palestinians deaths competed for space since 7th October. That’s despite far more Palestinian deaths. There’s one exception – a huge spike in the mentions of Palestinian deaths in early April. The reason for this should disturb you.
