BuzzFeed Accuses Ivanka of Hiding Her Jewish Faith to Remain “Publicly Palatable”

Buzzfeed’s senior culture writer, Anne Helen Petersen, has accused  Ivanka Trump of downplaying her Jewish faith so she can “remain as publicly palatable as possible.”

From The Daily Caller

The piece, in which the author the claims to “analyze” her social media accounts, is a lengthy attack on Ivanka and President Trump. It concludes, “Together, they compose a particularly 21st-century propaganda aesthetic — one that attempts to blind us to the discrimination and destruction committed by her father and performed in the name of rebuilding America.”

Complaining that both Trumps have not been vocal enough in their condemnation of a rash of anti-Semitic bomb threats to Jewish community centers and vandalism of Jewish cemeteries, Peterson write of how Americans would be too uneducated to understand that “#JCC” would mean Jewish Community Centers in Ivanka’s tweet on the subject.

She writes, “There was no invocation of her own identity as a Jew, and in fact, no invocation of Jewishness at all — save the hashtag, #JCC, whose meaning, for most, would remain opaque.”
