"I’m also wary of the directive from the Trump administration to compel the University of Pennsylvania to compile and provide lists of Jewish employees and students. Perhaps it is a coincidence that Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania, is an ardent critic of the administration and Jewish."
Although I'm a big fan of your books, I would bet money that Trump wants those lists to find out if those people have suffered anti-semitism discrimination or intimidation by anyone at or around Penn U. I would think Governor Shapiro would want that info too. For goodness sake, Trump mediated the Abraham Accords and led the way to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
I would not suggest that President Trump himself is anti-Semitic, and to be fair, the government claims it needs the lists to interview Jews about any discrimination. But why not Muslims, Blacks, Atheists, Hindus, Asians, etc, too? The targeting of Jews clearly has an historical precedent, and that is why I am wary. THank you for being a fan!
I never thought you suggested Trump was anti-Semitic. But I also thought the connection between the lists was unfair. I apologize for the misunderstanding. And I'll continue reading your books - I enjoy them.
Compelling article Tom. I didn’t know there were so many killing camps. Humans never learn and shown evidence of horrific deeds still say no. I pray that violence against Jewish people, their houses of worship, and businesses stops forever. May we as educators and parents teach what happened in those camps to our children.
Man's inhumanity to man seems to know no bounds and sadly continues to this day.
