Flattening all opposition to (or support for) a candidate to Israeli control isn't commentary, it's conspiracy.
Removing agency from voters is a tool to prevent good faith discussion & debate. And dismissing concern about antisemitism as purely a product of Israeli influence is itself antisemitic.
Any increase to the Nonprofit Security Grant Program should be welcomed. Every extra dollar helps ensure people of all faiths and beliefs gathering to pray, learn, celebrate, and mourn together can do so without fear of violence.
But we still have a long way to go.
