Documentary filmmaker Ami Horowitz said he's "incredibly proud" to be part of a push to combat antisemetism within American campuses. This week President Trump signed an executive order defining Judaism as a race or national origin under the Civil Rights Act.
The move is designed to combat rising anti-Israel sentiments, which some claim is rising on elite college campuses. Mr Horowitz, who helped spearhead the move to widen the definition of antisemitism, told Sky News the move will "defund universities who don't protect Jews and don't fight against antisemitism". "The Jews have always been the nation of Jews," he said. "They can still be a nationality and still be American".
