The sad truth is that many orgs & leaders have been primed for years for this.
They've been conditioned to think:
1. Jews are more uniquely in danger than others
2. Even if others are in danger, we must protect ourselves first
3. It's okay to work with fascists if they claim to be on your side
@joelhs.bsky.socialThe Trump administration is trying to divide Jews from other marginalized communities at a time of rising antisemitism and fascism, by forcing Jews to choose between supporting ICE or rejecting federal security funding. It is an unacceptable choice,. www.jta.org/2026/02/11/i...

American synagogues are being forced into a terrible choice: Collaborate with ICE or risk our own safety - Jewish Telegraphic Agency
Jewish federations should fund security so synagogues don't have to accept the federal government's conditions, a Philadelphia rabbi urges.
