Leftist antisemitism illustrated: Jewish Currents embarks on a Nazi-like attack on "Jewish Power"

The editor of Jewish Currents tweeted, "At @JewishCurrents, we are launching a dedicated investigative reporting fund to do  hold Jewish institutional power to account."

The article he links to says that the target of these one-sided "investigations" include:

Jewish communal funding, Jewish communal institutional accountability
Israel/Palestine and its intersection with US politics and Jewish communal politics
Dark money organizations
Israel-advocacy lobbying
#MeToo in the Jewish community or progressive spaces
It is pretty clear that the point of this initiative is to find dirt about Jews and Jewish institutions. The type of dirt isn't important as long as the targets are Jews and purported "Jewish power."

And the purpose of the investigations isn't to help fix any problems inside those institutions, but to publicize Jewish evil as widely as possible:
Your story should attempt to:

Hold those in power accountable by investigating important issues that are not covered, or not covered sufficiently, elsewhere.
Effect change in public attitude, policy, and conversation via your reporting.
Generate news-cycles based on those reports.

This is virtually identical to these guys who protest "Jewish power" and Israel outside a Maryland synagogue every week,  but in a somewhat more respectable way:





The myth of Jewish institutional power and assumed corruption is really a slightly warmed over version of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. And today's far-Left "As-A-Jews" enthusiastically embrace the worst antisemitic philosophies of the past century.

But I suppose it is all mere criticism of Israel.

I wonder how an investigation into David Klion's affiliations would come out. He has been an active Twitter member since 2009, but he has erased all of his tweets before 2020. What is he hiding?

(Since Jewish Currents is paying $1 a word for these "investigations," this essay exposing a "Jewish" institution as functionally antisemitic should be worth over $250.)
