NSPM-7: Project Esther in Overdrive

from #TheVoiceMemo
by Stefanie Fox [Executive Director of #JVP #JewishVoiceForPeace in #USA]
Oct 20, 2025

One year ago, the Heritage Foundation released #ProjectEsther, which is best understood as an addendum to #Project2025. It was released quietly, but with ambitious tactics; it contains everything needed to defame, defund, and ultimately dismantle groups like JVP “within 12-24 months.” This is the #Trump administration’s blueprint to destroy civil society, starting with attacking Palestine solidarity.

Twelve months in, and they are well underway, judging by the giant stack of paperwork on my desk from JVP’s lawyers laying out the active lawsuits brought against our organization from Trump-aligned law firms and government requests for information...

Op de foto staat een man met een koptelefoon wachtend in een rij met dierenliefhebbers die iets gedaan wilden krijgen van de Russische staat en muziekliefhebbers die een petitie wilden indienen. Toen ik die koptelefoon zag (een JBL?) dacht ik: "bezit van de zaak is het einde van het vermaak." Man leunend tegen het hek bij de 2e pilaar rond het midden.

#UK Home Office loses bid to block #Palestine Action from challenging ban as terror group
The British government lodged its appeal after Palestine Action's co-founder Huda Ammori successfully won a judicial review to overturn its ban

from #MiddleEastEye #MEE
Published date: 17 October 2025 12:44 BST
last update: 1015 EDT

The Court of Appeal on Friday dismissed the government's attempt to stop the judicial review of its decision to ban the group.

During the judgement, 4 judges, including the Lady Chief Justice, also granted #PalestineAction's co-founder, Huda Ammori, two further grounds to challenge the ban, that were previously rejected.

These grounds include that the Home Secretary, at the time, failed to consider relevant information or/and considered irrelevant information, and that she failed to follow her published policy "which prescribes that certain factors may be taken into account".

Palestinian student #MohsenMahdawi returns to Columbia University: ‘They have failed to silence me’

Mahdawi was targeted and arrested for deportation due to his activism but the permanent US resident is resuming postgraduate studies

Tue 2 Sep 2025 16.33 ET

Mohsen Mahdawi, the 34-year-old #Palestinian student and #US permanent resident, returned to #ColumbiaUniversity on Tuesday and vowed to continue speaking out.

“They have failed to silence me, and in fact, now I am more outspoken than before, and I will continue to work for peace and justice. I do this work not for myself alone – I do this for the future of children, whether they are Palestinians or #Israelis,” he told the Guardian on Tuesday in his first interview since stepping back on to campus to begin his graduate studies.

New Trump Order Among 'Scariest Things I've Seen in US Politics,' Civil Rights Attorney Says

The new order, he says, would essentially allow "random fascist vigilantes" to "sign up to be a Brownshirt" for Trump's militarized occupation forces.

from #CommonDreams
Stephen Prager
Aug 26, 2025

...it orders the secretary to create a "standing #NationalGuard quick reaction force" that "can be deployed whenever the circumstances necessitate," not just in the nation's capital but in "other cities where public safety and order has been lost."

Monday's order calls for the creation of "an online portal for Americans with law enforcement or other relevant backgrounds and experience." Agency heads then "shall each deputize the members of this unit to enforce federal law."

If you want to protest in UK against a government that outlawed the pacifist organization "Palestine Action" with the anti-terrorism law, here is a plan for you:

1) Print the T-Shirt of the image below
2) Make a trip to UK
3) Wear the shirt at a public rally
4) Get unduly arrested under terrorism act for speaking the truth as nonviolent resistance against the authoritarian nature of regimes supporting ongoing genocide.

I spent decades at Columbia. I’m withdrawing my fall course due to its deal with #Trump
Rashid Khalidi

from #TheGuardian #Guardian
Fri 1 Aug 2025 06.00 EDT

Columbia’s capitulation has turned a #university that was once a site of free inquiry and learning into a shadow of its former self, an-anti university, a gated security zone with electronic entry controls, a place of fear and loathing, where faculty and students are told from on high what they can teach and say, under penalty of severe sanctions. Disgracefully, all of this is being done to cover up one of the greatest crimes of this century, the ongoing genocide in #Gaza, a crime in which #Columbia’s leadership is now fully complicit.

Prominent historian cancels course at Columbia University over Trump deal

#RashidKhalidi, in open letter published by #Guardian, accuses university of ‘capitulating’ with $200m settlement

from #TheGuardian
Dani Anguiano
Fri 1 Aug 2025 06.00 EDT

“Although I have retired, I was scheduled to teach a large lecture course on this topic in the fall as a “special lecturer” but I cannot do so under the conditions #Columbia has accepted by capitulating to the #Trump administration in June,” Khalidi wrote.

Columbia announced last week that it would pay more than $200m in a settlement with the federal government after the White House claimed the university failed to adequately address alleged antisemitism on campus amid protests over the #Israel-#Gaza war, and threatened to pull significant funding.

“When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not ill-treat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God."
— Leviticus 19.33-34

Pew pew.

A line of black-uniformed Imperial Stormtroopers advance on the rebels in a scene from Andor, a sci-fi show that is part of the Star Wars franchise.

Wait, no. It's a line of heavily-armed riot police advancing on protesters in Los Angeles, June 2025. All the stormtroopers carry long arms (rifles, etc). One is in the act of firing a shot, creating a large flash from the muzzle of his weapon.

In the background are two pieces of graffiti on a concrete wall. One reads "Leviticus 19.33-34". The other, "Pew pew".
