A bill introduced Wednesday, backed by the Anti-Defamation League, claims to target antisemitism on social media. But the two congressmen who introduced it have indicated it is also meant to force social media companies to silence criticism of Israel.
Greenblatt has expressed support for activist deportations in the second Trump presidency.[42][43][44] In a June 2025 speech before Republican state attorneys general, Greenblatt said that the “real deal threat” to American Jews came from “this convergence of what I call the radical left and, like, Islamist groups here in the U.S.” Greenblatt compared pro-Palestinian student protesters to ISIS and Al-Qaeda, and said regarding Mahmoud Khalil, “I am sure we’re going to find out about his ties to groups overseas.”[45] In an appearance on Fox News, Greenblatt said that college graduates and social media influencers who criticized the Gaza genocide were responsible for the Boulder fire attack, and falsely accused graduating MIT class president Megha Vemuri, who had criticized MIT’s ties to Israel, of spreading “blood libels”.[46]
