When NYC's Jewish museum bans DeSantis, it sends a clear message to all Jews
|
[NYP] History shows us that forced ideological conformity never ends well for Jews, but liberal Jewish institutions keep wanting to give it another go.
In a Wall Street Journal piece, Elliott Abrams and Eric Cohen, respectively chairman and CEO of Tikvah and co-chairmen of the Jewish Leadership Conference, reveal that Manhattan’s Museum of Jewish Heritage canceled a planned JLC event because Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was an invited speaker.
Write Abrams and Cohen: "We were working closely with the museum on the details for the June 12 event — until, out of the blue, we were told by the museum staff that Mr. DeSantis didn’t ’align with the museum’s values and its message of inclusivity.’ Either we disinvite the governor, they said, or our event was unwelcome."
The museum gingerly pushed back. On its Twitter account it said this wasn’t a "free speech or censorship issue" but "simply a contractual and logistical decision," which doesn’t actually contradict what Abrams and Cohen are alleging.
Yes, the museum made the "contractual and logistical decision" to deny rental space to Tikvah, an organization that has hosted many events at the museum, because DeSantis was to be a speaker. It’s not a "free speech or censorship issue" since that implies government is stopping the speech, and that is clearly not happening here.
