Tablet Magazine is worried that New York City Mayor Eric Adams' indictment on charges of taking bribes and illegal campaign contributions from Turkey could be used against the Israel Lobby.

Tablet's editor-at-large Liel Leibovitz wrote an article on Thursday lamenting the indictment titled, "The Jews Should Stand With Eric Adams."

Tablet praised Adams for shutting down pro-Palestine protests at Columbia University but failed to mention that the Washington Post revealed he was pressured to do so by a private group chat full of Jewish billionaires.

Here's the kicker:
[INDENT]Adams may also be the canary in a very deep and very dark coal mine. For here is where the logic of this indictment is leading: Small-scale donations by disfavored political players—like Turks in Queens, or Zionist Jews who support AIPAC, the ADL, or Bnai Brith, let alone those who have a nephew studying in a yeshiva in the West Bank—will be criminalized, with every donation subject to suspicion of a violation of the fuzzy laws governing interactions with foreign governments, followed by federal prosecutors (remember when that term was a synonym for apolitical application of the law?) and SWAT teams. [color="Red"]One might reasonably suspect that the sequel to the Adams horror show will be an investigation of a major Jewish organization for "bribing" legislators with fact-finding trips to Israel, and thereby acting as arms of the Israeli government—which will make anything connected to the "Jewish lobby" politically radioactive.
