Antisemitism?
Trump & Musk Perpetrate It!

Mar 17, 2025

President Trump has suddenly become the champion fighter against antisemitism, practically threatening Columbia University’s mere existence for the role some of its students and faculty played in last year’s pro-Palestinian protests. The Trump administration is demanding Columbia expel them.

Seriously?

This is the same billionaire-trash Donald Trump who praised neo-Nazis who carried out a torch-lit parade on Charlottesville, Virginia during his first term, shouting, “Jews will not replace us!” and saying there were good people on all sides there.

This is the same Trump whose unelected hatchet man Elon Musk has made his antisemitism crystal clear. In his inauguration day speech, Musk twice gave the audience what appeared to be a stiff-armed “Heil Hitler” salute. Days later, Musk responded to criticism of his gestures, by cracking puns using the names of Nazi mass murderers like Rudolf Hess, Heinrich Himmler, Joseph Goebbels and Herman Goering. Then, Musk traveled to Germany to show his support at a campaign rally for the far-right party Alternative fur Deutschland, telling the crowd, “There is too much focus on past guilt....”

How dare these powerful scum pretend to be defenders against antisemitism? When will they be brought up on charges and made to suffer the consequences? Only when the working class organizes to hold their feet to the fire!
