This looks like it is intended to stop persons from protesting Israel......

The times article:

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/10/us/politics/trump-antisemitism-executive-order.html?smid=tw-nytpolitics&smtyp=cur

Quote from article:

Among those welcoming the move on Tuesday was Jonathan Greenblatt, the chief executive of the Anti-Defamation League, who said the group recorded its third-highest level of anti-Semitic episodes in the United States last year.

Here's the thing.... we know antisemitism is up.... but if anyone thinks it is because of college kids opposing Israel's oppression of the Palestinians.... they haven't been paying attention. It is the dog whistles from drumpf and company towards ANY person that is not a white, male, evangelical that are driving up attacks on EVERYONE.
