US Anti-Semitism Czar Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun details the Trump admin's "anti-Semitism" crackdown: "Over 250,000 visas have been revoked… We have reinvigorated hate crime prosecutions. We have been involved with the Saudi government to have their [education] curriculum changed…"
US Anti-Semitism Czar Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun says he "enjoys" getting governments to bend to his will by using "gentle" or "not-so-gentle persuasion" and wielding "the power of the American government" to advance Jewish interests.
He boasts he got Ireland to pull BDS legislation, is pushing Armenia to adopt IHRA, and got Belgium to give funding to Jewish day schools and synagogues for "security."
The 250k visa revocations Kaploun cited form part of broad Trump admin continuous vetting for crimes, fraud, birth tourism, national security threats and violations, spanning many nationalities. Reports note many involved antisemitic activity, including foreign students from diverse backgrounds (e.g. Turkish, Palestinian, Indian, Chinese) in related protests. Actions centered on individual conduct, not exclusive ethnic or religious groups.
