The APA's silence on antisemitism, hysteria on Musk's cuts and other commentary
Briefly

A collective of over 3,500 mental health experts is pressing the American Psychological Association (APA) to confront antisemitism, asserting that Jewish members face harassment in APA forums. The group accuses the APA of not adequately responding to these issues, despite quickly addressing concerns for other minority groups. Moreover, a commentary notes media hysteria surrounding Elon Musk’s corporate cuts, contrasting actual public support for efficiency measures, revealing broader implications for media and governmental credibility amidst budgetary reforms.
More than 3,500 mental health professionals have sent a letter calling upon the president and the board of the American Psychological Association to address anti-Jewish hate in the APA.
The letter claims Jewish APA members have been harassed, marginalized, and silenced on APA community forums even for attempting to challenge antisemitic rhetoric.
The organization has been quick to speak out on behalf of other marginalized or minority groups, but not Jews, which has severe consequences for the welfare of Jewish patients.
The media reaction to Elon Musk's efficiency cuts is just hysteria, as exemplified by exaggerated reports that miss the ongoing support for Musk's reform efforts.
