A lot worth reading in this excellent piece from Rob, but to me this anecdote tells a lot of the story. We wanted to post about Project 2025 on Kamala HQ. Others wanted to rename it “Donald Trump's Extreme Agenda” because they thought that would test better in focus groups. Project 2025 was a real plan with a real name. The instinct to sand down every sharp edge, run everything through a filter, and replace a real thing with a poll-tested substitute is how you end up with tactics but no brand.

If Park East Synagogue wasn’t hosting an event to auction off stolen land, then nobody would be protesting in front of it. It’s that simple. If these groups are antisemitic, why aren’t they also protesting other synagogues that don’t hold auctions for stolen land?

SCOOP: CAIR-CA leader Zahra Billoo advises her followers that they can express hatred against Jews in private, but should not write "I hate all Zionists" on their social media profiles, in order to be "strategic." Gavin Newsom gave her group $40 million.

At today’s University of Michigan graduation, Professor Derek Peterson thanked anti-Israel protesters for 2 years of campus chaos. Turning a commencement speech into a political rant like this is grounds for termination. Sickening.

UK Muslim journalist Jaafar El-Ahmar, who insists that Islam is a religion of peace and jihad is not violence, has explained why Israel should be blamed for the stabbing of Jews in London. According to him, the stabbing of two London Jews was not an antisemitic attack. Instead, he claims the Muslim attacker wanted to protest Israel’s treatment of Hamas in Palestine. So let me get this straight: Islam is supposedly a “religion of peace” that obligates Muslims to rape and murder non-Muslims, just like Hamas did on October 7, but when Jews are stabbed in London by a Muslim in Islam’s name, the explanation is: “It’s Israel’s fault.”
