Antisemitic Extremism in the White House

If you’re genuinely committed to fighting antisemitism, you don’t hire Nazis.

You don’t elevate white supremacists to high-level government positions. You don’t weaponize Jewish pain when it suits your politics, then ignore real threats when they come from your own ranks.

NPR reported that at least three Trump officials—including speechwriters and homeland security advisors—have ties to openly antisemitic, pro-Nazi ideologies. One praised Hitler. Another pushed white nationalist propaganda. https://www.npr.org/2025/05/14/nx-s1-5387299/trump-white-house-antisemitism

Meanwhile, this same administration weaponizes “antisemitism” to attack racial justice movements, equates all criticism of Israel with hate speech, and tries to divide Jewish people from other communities fighting for liberation.

Let’s be clear, white supremacy IS antisemitism. And when the U.S. gives asylum to white Afrikaners from South Africa but slams the door on Black and brown refugees from Sudan, Congo, and Afghanistan, we are advancing a white supremacist agenda that is also deeply antisemitic.

Jewish safety is tied to Black safety, to immigrant safety, to Palestinian safety.

Our liberation is collective…or it’s a lie.
