Hunger Pangs in America

The Passover Plot Against Josh Shapiro Is as Old As Jewish History
Can we go back to the fact that someone tried to kill Governor Josh Shapiro on Passover? Where is the outrage? Where is the activism? Does anyone really believe the Trump administration cares about anti-Semitism when they go after universities?
