Project Esther is being enacted by the Heritage Foundation. The main goals of Project Esther are as follows:
1.Deportation of Foreign Students and Activists: The plan recommends revoking visas and deporting non-citizens who participate in or support pro-Palestinian protests, labeling them as supporters of terrorism.
2.Defunding Educational Institutions: Universities and colleges perceived as sympathetic to pro-Palestinian causes could face withdrawal of federal funding.
3.Curriculum and Faculty Overhaul: Curricula deemed supportive of Hamas would be removed, and faculty members endorsing pro-Palestinian movements could be dismissed.
4.Social Media and Online Content Regulation: The initiative calls for the removal of online content considered antisemitic, which may include pro-Palestinian expressions.
5.Legal Actions Against Organizations: Project Esther suggests using legal tools, such as the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, to target groups like Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace.
6.Public-Private Partnerships: The plan advocates for collaboration between government agencies and private entities to implement these measures.
