Commentators blasted those on the left and members of legacy media for allowing “antisemitism” to flourish following the murder of Israeli Embassy staffers outside the Jewish museum in Washington, D.C.
While it is true that the attack on the Jewish couple, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, is being condemned by many on both sides of the political aisle, more than a handful have pointed out that this is a problem of the left’s refusal to admit the hatred towards Jews that we have seen on public universities and the media’s not calling it out over the last few years.
“We have allowed this hate and antisemitism to flourish,” Meghan McCain wrote on X. We have normalized this behavior. We have useful idiots both in our schools, in media/podcasts, and in elected offices who perpetuate this hate of Jews. They wear their Keffiyehs and shout FREE PALESTINE. Am Yisrael Chai.”
CNN commentator Scott Jennings responded to a report that the alleged suspect was reportedly a member of the “party for socialism and liberation” in Chicago. “The violent war on Western civilization emanates from the radical left. Make no mistake – it is here right now, and we cannot look the other way.”
Later, he wrote on X,” If Biden or Harris were president, we’d be getting a scolding right now for this epidemic of Islamophobia.”
Townhall’s Guy Benson reminded everyone that, “Just days ago, the FBI stopped an attack by a jihadist in Michigan. His stated goal was to murder Americans & Jews, among others. His ISIS handlers ended up being feds, thankfully, but he’d reportedly made contact with sources in ‘Palestine.’ They’re globalizing the intifada.”
Barstool President Dave Portnoy made a lengthy post on X, calling the murder the “natural progression of events” of leftists running our colleges, leading our country, and in the media.
A domestic terrorist went hunting Jews last night in [Washington], D.C., opening firing outside a Jewish event, killing 2 Jews. The [alleged] terrorist Elias Rodriguez yelled ‘Free Palestine’ as he got arrested. This type of tragedy is the natural progression of events when the morons running our colleges, far-left politicians, and hate merchants on social media continue to normalize and seemingly encourage antisemitism in this country.
The least surprising part about this tragedy is that the [alleged] killer hated America long before the conflict in the Middle East. He was an active member of the Party for Socialism & Liberation and the People’s Congress of Resistance. He was a serial agitator, as so many of the Free Palestine movement are. For them, this isn’t just about the war in Gaza. This is about hating America and our way of life. And the more that antisemitism is normalized in this country, the more it emboldens these lunatics to commit these heinous acts.
“The bottom line is that nobody in this country should be intimidated or fear for their safety because of their religion, but here we are,” Portnoy concluded.
Political leaders and commentators have been united in calling out the murder of the young Jewish couple, including Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), and Republican Vice President JD Vance, among many others.
“Yaron Lischinsky. Sarah Milgrim. A beautiful young couple, about to be engaged, just starting their lives, gunned down seemingly because they were Jewish,” Schumer wrote on X. This was a cold-blooded murder of two Jewish staffers from the Israeli Embassy. Such a blatant and targeted act of antisemitism should outrage everyone.”
The vice president wrote, “My heart breaks for Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky, who were murdered last night at the Capital Jewish Museum. Antisemitic violence has no place in the United States. We’re praying for their families and all of our friends at the Israeli Embassy, where the two victims worked.”
