Ultra-Zionist groups like Canary Mission and BETAR create lists of people that they want harassed, deported, fired, or expelled from universities (and now the country). They give these lists to Republican and Democratic Party politicians along with millions of dollars in campaign contributions via groups like AIPAC, NORPAC, etc. The politicians then harass, arrest or deport people on their lists. I recently came across a Mondoweiss article that highlighted a case where pro-Israeli regents of the University of Michigan bought off state attorney general Dana Nessel (a Democrat), who used state law enforcement and the FBI to raid, arrest and harass US citizen protesters of the Gaza genocide and used ICE to harass their attorney. It's the new McCarthyism.

A lot of attention for this is focused on Trump and Republicans, but he doesn't come up with the lists. Pro-Israeli groups came up with the lists and are basically paying to have people harassed and removed. It's similar to purges of Jewish institutions currently happening in the US.

In some ways, we're at war with ourselves.
