I read this today written by Ross Sorkin in the Times...very, very disturbing.

When business moguls pressed N.Y.C.’s mayor on university protestsIn public, prominent business leaders including Robert Kraft and Barry Sternlicht have been outspoken opponents of the pro-Palestinian protests that gripped college campuses like those at Columbia.In private, others appear to have gone further: Several moguls held a Zoom video call with Mayor Eric Adams of New York City last month, urging him to more forcefully disperse the Columbia protest, according to The Washington Post.

The report — which the newspaper said it based on named and unnamed participants in both the call and a broader group chat, as well as chat logs that it verified — underscores how strongly some business leaders feel about what they fear is rising antisemitism, as well as what steps they’re willing to take to combat it.The call arose out of a WhatsApp group chat involving top executives,according to The Post. Formed after Hamas’s Oct. 7 attacks on Israel, the chat group members include Howard Schultz, the former Starbucks C.E.O.; Michael Dell, the tech mogul; the financiers Bill Ackman, Dan Loeb, Sternlicht and Josh Kushner; and Daniel Lubetzky, the founder of Kind snack bars, the Post reported. (A number of the business leaders confirmed to The Post that they were members of the group chat.)Since the group’s formation, some of its members have discussed a $50 million anti-Hamas media campaign that was reported earlier by Semafor and held background briefings with top Israeli government officials.

Note Josh Kuhner is a part of this group. I fear cognitive dissonance is at play here....and political bribery that is no worse than the oil companies and what Trump is on trial for.
