They conflate antisemitism with anti-Zionism & anti-crimes against humanity in order to trample on people’s first amendment rights to speech & assembly.

Palestinian-Americans get thoughts and prayers, Jewish Americans get extra protection from the god damn FBI.
I want to see some fucking action. Words are words, and until Biden does literally anything I’ll assume he’s ignoring it.
Again, please read the article. There’s nothing in there about Jewish Americans getting FBI bodyguards or something. They said federal law enforcement agencies are partnering with campus police to help them track hate related threats, which they consider both anti-semitism and islamophobia to be. These actions they’re doing aren’t specific to anti-semitism.
FTA "Just last month, two weeks before the Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel, the administration rolled out additional actions to combat antisemitism and Islamophobia more broadly across several federal agencies, citing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.
For the first time, federal agencies clarified that the 1964 law prohibits “certain forms of antisemitic, Islamophobic, and related forms of discrimination in federally funded programs and activities.”
You expect me to click on links? lmao
I wonder why the title excluded Islamophobia?
Because it’s an article about anti semitism on college campuses? Articles can be about different topics. But the article did actually have a lot of info relevant to the administration’s Islamophobia response too, since they’re using the same change they made to title vi regulations to help them assist with hate crimes and threats on campus to allow them to help with both. Specifically updated to add both Islamophobia and antisemitism.
Okay, but Biden unveiled these new actions at the same time right? Antisemitism and Islamophobia? So covering campus antisemitism without also covering anti-Arab/anti-Palestinian/Islamophobic hate seems to be leaving a lot of people out for no reason.
And that’s why they included it in the article (that my dumbass should have read). Just not the title for some reason.
