As Passover begins, I am reposting my open letter to Elon Musk.

Thanks and Happy Pesach!

The Trump people claim to be fighting antisemitism, and the media often accept that framing. I believe, on the contrary, that these actions are antisemitic in intention and in execution. I explain in a short video: snyder.substack.com/p/fomenting-...
