The WASPs Funding Antisemitism

In the wake of the October 2023 Hamas attacks, Jewish leaders were shocked to read the egregious statement put out by Darren Walker, the President of the Ford Foundation, who declined to acknowledge the massacre of Jews in Israel. They shouldn’t have been—not only because the foundation’s namesake was a notorious antisemite, but because the Ford Foundation is at the center of an elite nonprofit complex fueling this crisis both at home and abroad. In addition to the major nonprofit foundations, the American establishment remains dominant in two other areas of life: elite prep schools and universities, and the “deep state.” It’s not a coincidence that these three sectors—NGOs, higher ed, and the federal bureaucracy—have become the power centers of wokeness. The face of “resistance” may be a young radical, but the funding, strategy, and power are decidedly not. On Sunday night, Walker issued a second press release. With no explanation given, it was not clear why two statements were released. “Henry Ford, our founder, was among the twentieth century’s most virulent American antisemites. And yet, to me, our past confers a special obligation to engage, not to retreat—no matter the complications or the consequences.”

Uncover the Blood in Buenos Aires

Argentina must remove the piles of deceit and do justice to the memory of the dead

byAvi Weiss

“O earth,” Job pleaded, “do not cover my blood, and let there be no resting place for my cry.” Today is the 30th painful anniversary of the bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, which killed 85 people and injured 300. The blood still seeps up out of the ground, and the cries remain unstilled. The AMIA bombing was the greatest attack against the Jewish community in the diaspora since the Holocaust. In those 30 years, one Argentine leader after another has tried to bury that blood, and has tried to still those cries. But that blood will continue seeping out of the ground, and those cries will remain unstilled, until the earth those leaders have heaped on the dead to cover up the truth of what happened—the truth of who did the killing and who in the government abetted it—is swept away. A day after the attack, I flew to Argentina. It was as if something—someone, a congregation of holy souls and their bereaved families—was calling me. While there, I met privately with then-President of Argentina Carlos Menem. My first words to him were, “Mr. President, why Buenos Aires a second time?” Here I was referring to a similar attack against the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires two years earlier, which killed 29 people. My message was clear: If terrorists are not quickly apprehended, prosecuted and punished, they are emboldened to strike again. Sensing that I was charging him with a cover-up, Menem pushed back, insisting that Argentina would find the truth. But over the years he did all he could to try to bury the blood and the screams with ever more earth.
