The threat of ‘de-Judaification’
The term “de-Judaification,” coined by the Nazis, refers to the systematic exclusion of Jews from civic life. It happened in Germany. It happened in the Soviet Union.

The article discusses a perceived rise in "de-Judaification" in America, a term it defines as the systematic exclusion of Jews from civic life, drawing parallels to historical events in Germany and the Soviet Union. It highlights several incidents:
- Alleged reductions in Jewish student admissions and increased harassment at elite colleges, including a blockade preventing Jewish students from passing at UCLA.
- Publishers reportedly rejecting manuscripts by Jewish authors, such as Dark Horse Comics canceling a book by Rafael Medoff for refusing to add criticism of Israel.
- Instances of Jews being denied service in public accommodations, citing a cafe in Williamsburg that refunded Rep. Dan Goldman after discovering he was Jewish.
- Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel reportedly fearing verbal assault at the state’s Democratic convention.
- The appointment of no Jews to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s Judicial Advisory Committee, despite a significant Jewish legal population.
The article also criticizes the Democratic Party for allegedly supporting "antisemitic radicals and Islamists" and points to votes to cut aid to Israel. It suggests "lawfare" and careful voting as strategies to combat this trend, lamenting a potential loss of America as the "land of kindness" for Jews.
