Scoop: Internal Project Esther documents describe conspiracy of Jewish ‘masterminds’ seeking to dismantle Western values

The Heritage Foundation’s Project Esther, a conservative plan to counter antisemitism, sees the problem as one in which a handful of “masterminds” including Jews like George Soros and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker are seeking to “dismantle Western democracies, values and culture,” according to internal Heritage documents obtained by the Forward.

The documents, a pitch deck that Heritage used in trying to build support from Jewish foundations and other organizations, also outline several tactics the group plans to use to undermine a collection of anti-Zionist nonprofits and progressive groups that it refers to as the Hamas Support Network. The actions include identifying “foreign members vulnerable to deportation” and enlisting law enforcement to “generate uncomfortable conditions” for progressive activists.

Heritage did not respond to an inquiry Friday about the presentation.

The think tank, which also produced the controversial Project 2025 blueprint for a second Trump administration, has struggled to attract Jewish supporters for its antisemitism plan, which appears to have been assembled by several evangelical Christian groups.

Project Esther focuses exclusively on left-wing critics of Israel, ignoring the antisemitism problems from white supremacists and other far-right groups. James Carafano, who runs the Heritage Foundation’s antisemitism task force, said in October that “white supremacists are not my problem because white supremacists are not part of being conservative.”

Blaming Jews for anti-Semitism. Claiming to work to stop or curtail anti-Semitism without input from Jews. Next, we will have those sanctimonious "champions of anti-bigotry" "complain" about Jews spending too much time talking about/pointing out/fighting against anti-Semitism. Sounds about right.

1. 'Wow' seems wholly inadequate -- DUers outside the Jewish Group really need to know about this.

Yeah, we all know conservatives are a bunch of double-talking -- or maybe Newspeaking -- hypocrites who constantly redefine the meaning of the word 'hypocrisy'. But it's genuinely scary to see the directions they're trying to go, and if you don't read about it because "it doesn't apply to me", you really need to re-read the history lesson from Niemöller, in whatever version you like -- the idea is the same in all.

Also, it really pisses me off when they adopt these super-hypocritical names as camouflage, naming their vile plans after the people who would be vehemently opposed to them (or passages from Scripture which openly contradict them) -- like they're trying to honor these people and principles, when they're really trying to steal their respectability for their own underhand purposes.

2. Giving this the name Project Esther is particularly offensive to me.

Queen Esther, the shining example of bravery and loyalty to the Jewish people, should not have her name co-opted by haters of true liberty and democracy.
I have little doubt what these people in The Heritage Foundation have to say about Jews when outsiders aren’t listening. They surely eat tropes for hors d'oeuvres.
