Things like this have happened before…
Ostensibly, the University of Pennsylvania’s leadership refused to submit and cower to the Trump administration’s threats of withholding government grants and other funding if it did not twist to its will.
The Trump regime argued it needed the lists to interview primarily Jewish faculty in documenting supposed antisemitic comments and actions on the campus in order to “protect” Jewish people and organizations. The government claimed that Penn’s resistance had been hyperbolic and radical.
I understand that Donald Trump neither knows about nor cares about history, but even this heartless sociopathic narcissist must know how triggering and insensitive it is to subpoena any institution for its “list of Jews.”
Trump echoed 1936 Germany and the so-called “Nuremberg Laws,” the antisemitic and racist laws the Nazi regime declared as “the Reich Citizenship Law” and “the Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor.”
These proclamations codified the systematic persecution of Jews, which culminated in the eventual murder of an estimated six million Jewish people throughout the continent of Europe and elsewhere under the Nazi domain.
If you don’t like being called a Nazi, stop doing Nazi things!
I wonder what makes AIPAC think emboldening fascists serves Israel’s interests. Like what do they know, or think they know, or what are their immediate priorities that tell them funding the alt-right and weakening their historical geopolitical sponsor is a good idea?
When the dam breaks it’s going to be scary. What will we do when our empire starts splintering, and which military aid will be the first to go? Ukraine, sure, but Ukraine is peanuts compared to the war on Iran. Hegseth is already talking tax hikes, and the kayfabe fkr republicans is to emulate “no new taxes” Reagan. Then again maybe kayfabe is entirely irrelevant at this point? Idk man, I wish I understood how these people think.
A couple reasons, but mostly their main narrative that Jews will never be safe anywhere other than their own ethnostate. Every instance of actual discrimination and threats against jews serves their interests.
