TOI: At Hanukkah party, Trump signs controversial executive order on anti-Semitism

“This is truly the arsonist attempting to serve as the firefighter,” said Halie Soifer, executive director of the Jewish Democratic Council of America.

The order itself, she suggested, was a cause for concern.

“Any overreach by the administration in the enforcement of this executive order could chill protected speech, making it even harder to fight legitimate anti-Semitism,” she said.

“And if anyone needs examples of what anti-Semitism looks like, one need to look no further than the words of President Trump (and charges of dual loyalty), which would be classified as anti-Semitic according to his own executive order.”
