Ih, se a lei for ser posta na prática, demitirá inúmeros professores de humanas. Quando eu estudei em Cambridge, no Reino Unido, havia um professor tão radical ao ponto de colocar a bandeira da Palestina na janela de um prédio histórico da universidade e ninguém tinha coragem de mandar ele tirar de lá. Se ele colocasse a bandeira de Israel, não passaria um dia lá.
A lei proíbe financiamento do governo a universidades e faculdades que propaguem o anti-semitismo.
Além disso, com a lei (tipo um decreto lei) o governo Trump vai designar o judaísmo não apenas como uma religião, mas também como uma nacionalidade. Assim, evita questões jurídicas, quando alguém disfarça o anti-semitismo atacando ou boicotando Israel.
A lei vai ajudar ao Trump ser ainda mais odiado nas universidades, mas Trump "could not care less" (não está nem aí).
Reconheço vários problemas em Israel (como encontro em qualquer país), mas quando eu encontro alguém que detesta raivosamente Israel, isso pra mim é uma barreira intransponível de amizade. Não conseguirei ser amigo dessa pessoa.
Abaixo vai o relato da notícia no The Jerusalem Post.
Trump to issue executive
order to fight antisemitism on college campuses
Title VI prohibits
discrimination on the basis of race, color or and national origin in programs
and activities receiving federal financial assistance.

Israeli Foreign Minister
Israel Katz praised US President Donald Trump on Wednesday ahead of his
expected issuance of an executive order later in the day invoking Title VI of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to fight antisemitic rhetoric on college
campuses.
The new
executive order would also label Judaism as a nationality in addition to a
religion, so it would fall into the category of Title VI and, according to
Katz, "enable a more effective fight against the anti-Israel boycott
movement on campus.
"I congratulate US
President Donald Trump on his intention to sign a presidential order to combat
antisemitism on US university and college campuses, and to prevent funding from
going to those institutions that will not prevent antisemitism," Katz
continued.
The move will also direct
federally funded agencies to consider the International Holocaust Remembrance
Alliance definition of antisemitism in cases of discrimination.
"I urge more countries
to adopt similar measures," Katz said.
Title VI prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color and national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. The Department of Education could cut federal funding for institutions that fail to remedy antisemitic incidents that fall under the title, once the order is made.
A senior administration
official said on Tuesday that antisemitism on campuses is often hidden in an
anti-Israel agenda. If campuses that receive money from the government adopt
the IHRA definition of antisemitism in cases of discrimination, students who
will feel that they are being bullied on college campuses would be able to
complain to their institution's administration, who will then need to decide if
the incident is considered antisemitic.
