Project Esther is a project of The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank based in Washington, D.C., that aims to suppress pro-Palestinian protests and what it classifies as antisemitism. The effort has received support from several evangelical Christian organizations but no major Jewish ones.[1][2]
According to The New York Times, Slate, Haaretz, The Forward, and Jewish Insider, Project Esther does not address right-wing antisemitism.[1][2][3][4][5] It has also been criticized for incorporating antisemitic tropes into its rhetoric.[6] Project Esther broadly labels criticism of Israel as terrorism and calls for targeting universities, students, and American progressive politics and politicians.[2]
Politico described Project Esther as "a lesser-known blueprint from the same creators of Project 2025."[7] In May 2025, The New York Times found that the second Trump administration had called for or acted upon more than half of Project Esther's proposals.[2]
