Title: Trump's Jewish Cover Story [Analysis, Opinion]
Source: Atlantic
Link: theatlantic DOT com/ideas/archive/2025/04/trump-anti-semitism-agenda/682285/

The administration claims to be protecting Jews while advancing an agenda that most Jews oppose.

[…]

The Trump administration has not surgically targeted these failings at America’s universities for rectification; it has exploited them to justify the institutions’ decimation. Jews are caught in the middle — used by the White House to shield its agenda from criticism, yet attacked by Trump’s critics as enablers of that agenda due to their advocacy for themselves and against anti-Semitism.

Jews constitute just 2 percent of the American population and are a famously fractious people. A minority of this minority supports Trump’s policies, seeking the shelter of a strongman amid the anti-Semitic storm. But the lesson most American Jews have drawn from their history as a persecuted people is that narrow nationalisms never end well for those who are different, because no matter their patriotism or contribution to the collective, their difference will always make them suspect. Jews may be inside the circle of concern today, but that circle is always shrinking, and Jews will ultimately not determine who it includes.

There's something historically ironic about using the aegis of protecting Jews as a means of hobbling Universities.

"The Atlantic"? Really? Del likes to use the phrase 'fish-wrap' to describe publications that he deems worthless. I don't think I would be so generous in describing The Atlantic.

The article seems like a basically fair analysis, regardless of the source.

The fake-news propaganda is skilled in sounding like they are fair and reasonable.

Just knowing that The Atlantic is unreliable.... and then seeing the title: "Trump's Jewish Cover Story."
You just gotta know it's going to be flowers & sunshine.

The logic probably goes like this:

1) Trump is cracking down on anti-Jewish protests on campuses and backing Israel in their war of survival.

2) But most secular Jews vote for Democrats.

3) So therefore Trump is a Nazi.

I came to this thread to share an insight from Greg Gutfeld's show tonight:

"Have you sat down recently in a quiet moment and considered what life would be like if Kamala had won?"

If ever a news item deserved to be posted on CPS, this is it:

Bill Maher reports on his dinner with Donald Trump

https://x.com/billmaher/status/1910900483709096262

Maher delivers 13 minute monologue full of good news and good humor.

Worthy of full watch, whether you love/hate Trump/Maher.

CNN pollster reports on Trump, voters, and immigration/deportation policy.

Let's just say that the Jesuit propaganda has not influenced many people....
