Great investigative journalism from the New York Times.



The Washington DC Heritage Foundation recently dispatched a team to Israel to meet with major players in Israeli politics, including the Israeli Foreign Minister, the Israeli Defense Secretary, and U.S. ambassador Mike Huckabee.

The Heritage team was in Israel, in part, to discuss a secret policy paper: Project Esther, the foundation’s proposal to rapidly dismantle the pro-Palestinian movement in the United States, along with its support at schools and universities, at progressive organizations and in Congress.

Project Esther outlined an ambitious plan to brand critics of Israel as “effectively a terrorist support network” so that they could be deported, defunded, sued, fired from their jobs and ostracized

It singled out anti-Zionist groups that had organized pro-Palestinian protests, but the intended targets stretched much further.

In pitch materials for potential donors, Heritage presented an illustration of a pyramid topped by “progressive ‘elites’ leading the way which included Jewish billionaires such as George Soros and Governor JB Pritzker of Illinois.

Imagine being such a philosophically and ethically bankrupt coward that you're compelled to devise a strategy for silencing critics.

How does someone even live that way? They have to know at some level that they're foul, pathetic pieces of shit - how does that not eat away at them?
