Jewish Federations CEO to local leaders: JCPA statement opposing antisemitism, exploitation of our community, and the undermining of democratic norms is not "speaking for our whole community."
that misleading headline illustrates perfectly what you said about yourself in the opening of this piece, that you don't report the news your job is to talk about how it "makes you think and feel." Well you need a little more journalistic discipline pal. By including the email you insinuated about, you revealed your own in aptitude at parsing truth from inflammatory rhetoricical manipulation. And I say that at age 70 as a lifelong Democrat.
"Memo Defends Trump, Alleges Due Process.". Seriously?! I read the memo three times it does not mention Trump wants, it uses the term government but any connection to Trump is only vaguely implied. This was a memo written around the time of Passover if I am not mistaken. And yet somehow you expected some kind of over political diatribe? The headline was so much more inflammatory than anything actually said in the memo and I am really tired of this kind of hyperbole. It's exactly what Sean Hannity does on Fox News, no thank you.
Thanks for your response. To be clear, I didn’t expect JFNA to do …anything at all. They chose to push back on a communal rebuke to the Trump administration. They didn’t have to wade in against the JCPA letter. I would have been happy if they just stayed out out it.
But they didn’t. They lied in their memo about what is happening (due process). They continued to laud Trump’s very actions that the JCPA letter opposed.
This letter is a literal shield for the Trump administration against jewish communal outrage and rebuke.
you are reading everything into that. I suggest you take two steps back and recognize that leadership in an organization like that requires diplomacy, not reactionary hyperbole which is what your post was guilty of. As I said I am really sick of misleading inflammatory headlines that missed the point by trying to overstate what they think they see between the lines. That that's the biggest problem in politics right now.
Did you read the @ronkampeas article linked in my post? He’s a decades long veteran jewish communal journalist. No “hyperbole” there. I’d suggest you check it out

Thank you for your comment. What in the headline do you consider misleading about the email?
