US Jewish group publishes 'Shofar Report,' a liberal alternative to Trump's antisemitism strategy

A liberal Jewish group, the Nexus Project, has published the Shofar Report, a new strategy for fighting antisemitism that directly challenges the policies promoted by the administration of US President Donald Trump and conservative organizations. The report calls for reversing measures such as slashing university funding, deporting student protesters, and tying synagogue security grants to immigration enforcement, arguing that these steps undermine efforts to combat antisemitism. Instead, the authors advocate for protecting democratic institutions, civil rights, and coalition-building as essential to Jewish safety within a liberal democracy. The report also recommends restoring education funding, student visas, and civil rights enforcement, while urging the administration to stop accusing nonprofits of supporting terror and to ensure security grants are not subject to ideological whims. While some recommendations align with Trump’s policies on Gaza, the overall message is a call for a return to strategies that prioritize civil rights and broad-based coalitions. The authors acknowledge the challenges ahead, given current political dynamics, but remain optimistic that their proposals will inspire more concrete action and bipartisan support in the future.
