(JEWISH GROUP) How anti-Israel rhetoric led to the killing of 2 in Washington, DC

[Behind the Aegis]

If there was ever a time for reckoning in the anti-Israel movement, this is it.

The cold-blooded murder of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim in Washington, D.C., last night should mark the beginning of the end — preferably the end of the end — of the zombie belief that the only path to a “Free Palestine” is to abolish Israel.

Now we see where that eliminationist ideology can lead: to murder.

The legitimate struggle for Palestinian rights, the necessary opposition to the current Israeli government’s callous and self-defeating policies, the crucial work of forging coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians — all that has been hijacked by an international movement poisoned by violence and hatred.

No, not everyone who marches for a ceasefire, or in solidarity with suffering Gazans, is calling for the end of Israel.

1. I saw this coming way before keffiyehs became a fashion statement.

I can even state a date on which It became obvious: November 10, 1975. UN Resolution 3379, which "Determines that Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination". Exactly fifty years ago. This is when antisemitism went global.

Whether it's old established antisemitic tropes or new ones kile accusations of racism, genocide, land grab and "we don't want no Zionists here", for fifty years the excuses kept changing, but not the hatred. For half a century, the world has been fed antisemitic propaganda from sources as diverse as the UN and the Klan, and the act of spreading the hatred itself has been globalized and normalized, accepted and condoned by ideologies as diverse as the Western far Left and the radical Islamism of the Middle East and openly neo-fascist right wing in the US. There is no question what unites them. Only the excuses to hate on the Jews vary, but in 50 years we have seen these distinctions disappearing too.

I am afraid the reckoning in the anti-Israel movement that the article is calling for ain't coming. We are alone, as we have always been.

2. Sarah Milgrim tried crawling away

After she was initially shot. He then shot her again point blank.

Rodriguez followed behind her and fired again.

It appears he reloaded.

He then shot her until she was dead.



His purpose was clear. Kill Jews and anyone who supports them or is aligned with them.
