As if Project 2025 – the 900-page repressive blueprint for the US put together by scores of Donald Trump-tied political staffers – wasn’t enough, the Heritage Foundation has released another lengthy and radical document, this time targeting pro-Palestine and anti-war Americans.
The 10,000-word “Project Esther: A National Strategy to Combat Antisemitism” targets what it calls the “Hamas Support Network” (HSN), made up of groups that the document claims are “decidedly antisemitic, anti-Israel, and anti-American” and "involved in furthering Hamas’s cause in contravention of American values and to the detriment of American citizens and America’s national security interests.”
The network, the project says, revolves around American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) with “action arms” comprised of what the project falsely claims are “Hamas Support Organizations” (HSOs), including Jewish Voice for Peace and Students for Justice in Palestine, that recruit members, spread propaganda, and conduct rallies with the support of “a coalition of leftist, progressive organizations” such as the Open Society Foundations and Tides Foundation.
