Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

Rep. Jerry Nadler accused Trump of exploiting antisemitism to justify political crackdowns on elite universities.

Nadler said Trump “doesn’t give a damn about antisemitism” and is weaponizing Jewish concerns to impose control over academia.

The administration has suspended or threatened over $10 billion in federal funding to schools like Columbia, Harvard, and Princeton.

Nadler warned that curbing campus free speech would harm Jews and condemned Trump for gutting civil rights enforcement. He also criticized universities for capitulating and urged legal resistance to what he called unconstitutional coercion.

I disagree. Trump is quite the supporter of antisemitism. His own daughter and son-in-law refused to sign a document that stated he has never been antisemitic. The whole Kushner family has spoken to the media about his long history of antisemitism.

However he loves Netanyahu. There’s just something about a genocidal authoritarian megalomaniac that really makes the man swoon.

They certainly like to talk and represent they aren’t, but if someone speaks up against war in Gaza they are picked up by ICE. It doesn’t mean the same thing to others as it does to them.

Opposing Israel is “antisemitic” to them.

When there are Jewish students participating in these protests, there should be no room left for the "antisemitic" argument. But here we are.

Israel played the religion card, and by doing so they did a great job of establishing the narrative that opposing Israel means you are an antisemite. The word has been weaponized. Actually antisemitic people like Trump who support Israel for political reasons get to hide behind it as a shield, meanwhile semitic people are being labeled as antisemites.

Nothing makes sense anymore.

Zionism is a genocidal ideology that never made sense.
