Free Palestine's Real Target Is America
(New York Post) Liel Leibovitz - As the killer of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky was being detained, he shouted the words that have become the soundtrack to so much American suffering: "Free Palestine." The murders were a reminder that "Free Palestine" is not about the war in Gaza, not about Israel's response to Hamas's atrocities on Oct. 7, not about the well-being of Palestinians or any other living beings. "Free Palestine" is the rallying cry of a terrorist operation that is funded by foreign governments and designed to sow chaos, fear, and violence in America's streets. This violence always begins with Jews, but it never ends there. Free Palestine's real target is America. The list of terror's witless enablers is long. But there are still many more of us, normal Americans who refuse to accept a reality in which Jews are targeted and attacked by a death cult and in which Washington or New York or Chicago becomes just another Beirut, a bloody battlefield thick with jaunty jihadis. In 1871, facing another murderous, Jew-hating militia, the Ku Klux Klan, Congress passed the Enforcement Act that gave the government wide power to do everything necessary to defeat these homegrown terrorists. It did so because Americans could unite behind the elementary idea that the Klan was pure evil and profoundly un-American. The same is true of Free Palestine. Pro-Palestine is anti-America, and Free Palestine means death. We must fight it with everything we've got. The writer is a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute.
