Project Esther
Project Esther is a project of The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank based in Washington, D.C., that aims to suppress pro-Palestinian protests and what it classifies as antisemitism. The effort has received support from several evangelical Christian organizations but no major Jewish ones. According to ''The New York Times'', ''Slate'', ''Haaretz'', ''The Forward'', and ''Jewish Insider'', Project Esther does not address right-wing antisemitism. It has also been criticized for incorporating antisemitic tropes into its rhetoric. Project Esther broadly labels criticism of Israel as terrorism and calls for targeting universities, students, and American progressive politics and politicians. ''Politico'' described Project Esther as "a lesser-known blueprint from the same creators of Project 2025." In May 2025, ''The New York Times'' found that the second Trump administration had called for or acted upon more than half of Project Esther's proposals. History The Her ...

Christian Zionist
Christian Zionism is a political and religious ideology that, in a Christian context, espouses the return of the Jewish people to the Holy Land. Likewise, it holds that the founding of the State of Israel in 1948 was in accordance with biblical prophecies transmitted through the Old Testament: that the re-establishment of Jewish sovereignty in the Levant—the eschatological "Gathering of Israel"—is a prerequisite for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The term began to be used in the mid-20th century, in place of Christian restorationism, as proponents of the ideology rallied behind Zionists in support of a Jewish national homeland. An expectation of Jewish restoration among Christians is rooted in 17th-century English Puritan thought. Contemporary Israeli historian Anita Shapira suggests that England's Zionist Evangelical Protestants "passed this notion on to Jewish circles" around the 1840s, while Jewish nationalism in the early 19th century was largely met with hosti ...
