Welcome to the Global Intifada
(Free Press) Bari Weiss - A gunman opened fire outside of the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington and murdered two young people because he thought they were Jews and because they were at a Jewish place for an event hosted by a Jewish organization. Yaron Lischinsky was born in Israel to a Jewish father and a Christian mother. He was raised partly in Germany and spoke German, Hebrew, and Japanese. Sarah Milgrim was an American Jew who began working at the Israeli Embassy in November 2023. She had two master's degrees, including one in natural resources and sustainable development from the UN University for Peace. The event they attended was about delivering humanitarian relief across the region, including to Palestinians in Gaza. The shooter's evil worldview says that Jews and those who support the Jewish state - wherever they live - are now acceptable targets and deserving of death. Since Oct. 7, the professional talkers have dismissed chants to "globalize the intifada" as a metaphor and not what it always was: a demand for open season on Jewish people worldwide. Venomous, untrue statements about Israel, its supporters, and the war against Hamas in Gaza chipped away at the old taboo against open antisemitism in America. A democratic state and its supporters have been made into targets through constant demonization of Zionists.
