Don’t be fooled. Trump is not an anti-antisemite.
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “I find no comfort in the Trump administration’s embrace of my people, on college campuses or elsewhere," the first Jewish president of Wesleyan, Michael Roth, writes. "Jew hatred is real, but today’s anti-antisemitism isn’t a legitimate effort to fight it.”

This—what Trump is doing now in trying to destroy American universities, research, and free speech while blaming it on pretend offense to the Jews is certainly the most profoundly antisemitic act I’ve seen from US government in my lifetime.

I don’t doubt that some of my co-religionists have experienced antisemitism. Sometimes aggressively so.But it’s use as a cudgel to destroy institutions essential to our country has absolutely nothing to do with that.
