The Washington Post has come under fire after New York City deputy mayor for communications Fabien Levy slammed the newspaper for peddling antisemitic tropes.

In its recent article, “Business titans privately urged NYC mayor to use police on Columbia protesters, chats show,” the Post alleges that a group of high-profile pro-Israel business leaders used their influence to pressure Mayor Eric Adams into deploying police against anti-Israel protesters at Columbia University.

During a conference call with Adams, some attendees, including former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz and Dell Technologies CEO Michael Dell, reportedly discussed making political donations in exchange for the mayor’s help. Some members also reportedly offered to fund private detectives to help NYPD deal with the unrestrained Columbia protests.

Levy, who is Jewish, took to social media to express his shock at the antisemitic article.

“The insinuation that Jewish donors secretly plotted to influence government operations is an all too familiar antisemitic trope that the Washington Post should have been ashamed to ask about, let alone actually publish,” Levy wrote on X.

“To be clear, both times the NYPD entered Columbia’s campus — on April 18th & April 30th — were in response to specific written requests from Columbia University to do so.”

Although The Post hasn’t issued an official response to Levy’s charges, an insider at the paper told Fox News that they were “baffled by the accusation.” The source pointed out that the Post routinely covers wealthy and powerful people who attempt to use their influence, irrespective of their race or religion.
