Haley announced that she would be adopting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IRHA)‘s definition of anti-Semitism regarding anti-Zionism. She said the following on the topic:
“You can’t fight antisemitism if you can’t define it. Joe Biden and the Left refuse to call anti-Zionism antisemitism. As president I will change the official federal definition of antisemitism to include denying Israel’s right to exist, and I will pull schools’ tax exemption status if they do not combat antisemitism in all of its forms – in accordance with federal law. College campuses are allowed to have free speech, but they are not free to spread hate that supports terrorism. Federal law requires schools to combat antisemitism. We will give this law teeth and we will enforce it. The United States of America will not use taxpayer dollars to fund antisemitism. Period. The Oct. 7 massacre and the ensuing weeks have proven what many of us have long known: There is no difference between anti-Zionism and antisemitism. In order to combat antisemitism, we have to define it, and that starts at the top.”

A quiet day for Haley.
It was all about Israel once again this week as the conflict shows no signs of abating. Haley hammered home her policy on anti-Semitism and Zionism at home and abroad, all whilst slamming what she calls weakness on the side of President Biden. Her polling has steadily improved over the weeks, but she’s still far, far behind Trump, who is sitting pretty at the top. With Mike Pence out of the race, will Haley gain some votes?
