“President Donald Trump will sign an executive order on Wednesday to interpret Judaism as a nationality and not just a religion, a move that the Trump administration believes will fight what they perceive as anti-Semitism on college campuses.”

Are the Jews a nation? I recognize the unique historical identity of “Jew” as being more than a religious identity, but does it deserve to be considered a nationality?

Is this a genuine effort to combat anti-Semitism or is it an attempt to suppress criticism of Israel on college campuses? Seems a bit ironic given Trump’s former concern about the suppression of free speech on college campuses.
