The Tikvah Fund’s Alana Newhouse and the Lysol Trump Coronavirus Talking Points
Tablet magazine has continued to adhere to the Lysol Trump Coronavirus talking points with great fidelity:

We would expect nothing less from Alana Newhouse and her Tikvah Fund cohorts.
As the Trumpdeath Pandemic continues unabated, she is doubling-down on her commitment to the Fearless Leader.
First up, we have Lee Smith, one of Tablet’s most hardcore Neo-Con writers, doing the “Wuhan Virus” Lysol thing:

Attacking China definitely makes Trumpworld feel better.
It is officially a Trumpist talking point, as we saw when the RNC counseled its candidates to harp on it, while keeping mum on Trump himself:

Next, we have a perfectly-timed attack on The New York Times written by Sean Patrick Cooper:
https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/arts-letters/articles/covid-19-berenson-new-york-times
The rant is an unhinged paean to someone called Alex Berenson, a former NYT reporter now turned mystery writer, who is a Tucker Carlson favorite for his questioning of how serious Coronavirus really is:
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ex-nyt-reporter-challenging-the-coronavirus-narrative
The article speaks of NYT “Unearned Arrogance”; a classic Trumpist Projection given Tikvah hubris and the way it crowds out voices not conducive to its cult-like mentality.
“Obnoxious” is not a word that Tikvah people should be throwing at others!
Then we have a new Tablet series by an actual doctor that gives us a historical view of “plagues”:
https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/science/articles/doidge-plague-journal-immunity
The mishmash article by Norman Doidge pompously counsels us not to worry; plagues have been around for a very long time and we are getting much better at dealing with them!
I feel much better now for having read the article.
And finally, just for good measure, we have the ever-dependable Trumpscum Liel Leibovitz doing the Harvard Coronavirus jitterbug in a distinctly Lysol way:
https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/harvard-coronavirus-greed
We will of course recall how Nero Trump himself went specifically after Harvard, the home of elites like Jared Kushner:
https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2020/4/22/trump-harvard-return-cares-money/
The idiot Kushner got in through some very propitious 1% bribery:
Trump singled out Harvard, but left his Confederate buddies alone:

Texas and Arizona are states he needs to win:
Arizona State University, for instance, was allocated the most, $63.5 million, because it has 83,000 students and 40,000 of them are low-income, according to the trade group.
The formula for disbursing funds to universities did not take a school’s endowment into account. The University of Texas system, which had a $31 billion endowment in 2018, the second-largest in the country, will get $172.5 million from the stimulus package, including $31 million for its flagship institution, the University of Texas at Austin.
Like Trump, Leibovitz goes after the Blue State school rather than the “Real America” schools.
Is there a little Bengelsdorf in him?
But Leibovitz was not done:
https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/new-york-mayor-deblasio-coronavirus
The very next day he loudly attacked New York City mayor Bill De Blasio, just as Bari Weiss had done earlier:
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/22/opinion/coronavirus-culture-war.html
Tikvah does not like the current New York mayor.
At all.
We saw an outpouring of vitriol against De Blasio for having the effrontery of calling out the Hasidic community for its continued violations of stay-at-home orders and social distancing measures:
How would you like to be walking down that street on a trip to the grocery store?
The following FOX News post presents the Lysol position succinctly:
Perhaps The Jewish Press put it best when they titled their daily e-mail “DeBlasio vs. NY Jews”:
A second JP article by the same writer quotes a Haredi rabbi exhorting the Brooklyn Hasidim to make Aliyah:
“Before it’s too late”!
The Civil War is coming!
Indeed, Hasidim know a lot about that, as we have seen throughout their turbulent history:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misnagdim#Winding_down_the_battles
I am sure that Israel would love to have them come:
https://time.com/5815426/israel-orthodox-jewish-coronavirus/
But they always have their apologists in the media, like Rabbi Avi Shafran:
https://cross-currents.com/2020/04/28/how-coronavirus-sparked-an-open-season-on-haredim/
Indeed, the Hasidic community has been especially hard-hit by the Trumpdeath Pandemic because of its insular nature, its refusal to accept modern science, and most of all because of its blind herd mentality adherence to Da’as Torah authoritarianism:

Here we see once again how the different socio-political factions of White Jewish Supremacists band together when one of them is attacked – even if it is for legitimate reasons.
Blood is thicker than Reason.
The hypocrisy of double-standards is nothing new for the Neo-Con Jews who go after De Blasio while staying silent on Trump, and defending other Jews who are violating public safety measures as they put us all in danger.
It is the Tikvah way.
This is the sort of toxic drivel that Alana Newhouse takes pride in sending out to her readers, as she continues to demean and debase the Sephardic heritage.
And, if you did not know, Tikvah is still hiring:

Just make sure to wear your Leo Strauss lapel pin to the interview!
You’re a shoo-in to get the job.
