Now we know what “globalize the intifada” means.
After a pro-Palestinian Marxist was arrested after shooting and killing Yaron Lischinsky, a German-born evangelical Christian, and his American girlfriend, Sarah Milgrim, in front of the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., he chanted, “Free, free Palestine.”
The murderer, who reportedly traveled from Chicago to kill two innocent 20-something-year-olds, surely knew the embassy workers were Jewish. His justification, as far as we know, was a blood libel that is a millennium old. The slander has simply been repackaged for the modern audience.
Indeed, the “genocide” libel is spread by Qatari-bought pseudo-intellectuals on elite U.S. campuses, New York Times and Washington Post editorialists, liberal activists, right-wing paleo “influencers,” European powers, Democratic House members, big media and many others.
“Palestine,” something most intifada protesters know virtually nothing about, has replaced Black Lives Matter as the cause of the morally vacuous and dangerously illiterate activist class. An entire generation of young people has been brainwashed. It’s only a matter of time before it gets worse.
Only a few days ago, media outlets, including NBC News, reported, without a hint of skepticism, a United Nations warning that 14,000 babies were going to die from starvation in Gaza within 48 hours.
Two days? Fourteen thousand babies?
Any editor or reporter who repeated such a preposterous claim is either too gullible or too dishonest to be in a newsroom. However, at this point, the establishment media will amplify any unsubstantiated and unhinged accusation if the target is right.
As it turns out, the U.N. retracted the claim. What the report actually said was that 14,100 cases of malnutrition could occur among children, not babies, if aid did not reach them over the next year.
Then again, as with most U.N. reports, even that number is likely a concoction. The Hamas-run “Gaza Health Ministry,” which is less reliable than the U.N. and doesn’t distinguish between civilians and armed terrorists, lies about death tolls and puts on low-budget Pallywood productions for credulous Western audiences.
The U.N. has issued more condemnations of Israel than all other nations combined. Not long ago, UNESCO passed a resolution denying Jews any historical connection to the Temple Mount and Western Wall, which came as a surprise to anyone who’s read a book.
Then, of course, we know that 12 of UNRWA’s employees took part in the Hamas massacre of Jews on Oct. 7, not merely offering logistical help or coordination, but participating in the actual kidnapping and murdering of civilians.
If the U.N. were a country, Israel would be compelled to declare war on it.
No, Israel is not wantonly murdering children in Gaza. It has temporarily blocked “aid” because Hamas steals it, sells it and uses food to control civilians.
How many of the “protesters” who “occupy” college libraries know that Gaza, which was given autonomy all the way back in 2006, is provided food, clean water and electricity by Israel? How many know that the Israeli government forcibly removed thousands of Jews from Gaza because Palestinians can only live Judenfrei?
American Jews even purchased 3,000 greenhouses that stood over 1,000 acres for $14 million and gave them to the Palestinian Authority so they could become self-sufficient, gratis. Palestinians destroyed them. There was no peace. Because peace was never the point.
Israel doesn’t target civilians, either. It is constantly sending warnings to the population about its operations, often putting its own soldiers in additional danger. Israel is fighting a war against Hamas, which unleashed a 9/11 on it and then cowered behind civilians, purposely churning out martyrs.
There is real suffering in Gaza. It was brought on by one side. All of it could end tomorrow if Hamas returned the remaining hostages and surrendered.
Let’s be honest, though, reality doesn’t matter to the “Free Palestine” crowd. There is a reason Western intifada targets Jewish businesses, Holocaust museums, Hillels, synagogues and innocent people on the streets of D.C. It has nothing to do with “ceasefires” or aid. The tragedy at the Capital Jewish Museum, where Lischinsky and Milgrim were killed, was not pro-Israel. It wasn’t sponsored by Mossad, but by the American Jewish Congress.
Recall that the first “protests” against Israel broke out in Times Square and college campuses hours after the Oct. 7 massacre, before the bodies of the dead were identified or any retaliation occurred.
“Anti-Zionism” is now the most significant form of antisemitism in the world. It has long been the predominant justification for violence and hatred against Jews in Europe and the Middle East for a long time. And now it’s here.

Here’s the truth about “Palestine”. Israel took over the Gaza Strip from Egypt and the West Bank from Jordan after they were unilaterally attacked by Egypt, Jordan and Syria in the “six day war” in 1967. The Gaza Strip is merely a collection of Arabs from multiple areas and it has never been a “state” but has been a breeding ground for terror attacks ever since. There have been dozens of peace negotiations, most notably in 2000 when Clinton brokered a deal for the Israelis to give up the Gaza Strip and most of the West Bank. Israel agreed, but Yasser Arafat (then chairman of the “Palestinian Authority”) refused; the “Palestinians” never wanted peace or their own state.
Then, in a futile gamble for peace, Israel unilaterally ceded the Gaza Strip to the Palestinians in 2005 and removed all their military and forcibly removed 21 settlements of their own people to give the Palestinians their “state”. A beautiful piece of real estate with 26 miles of coastline on the Mediterranean Sea; more than the “Gold Coast” here from Ft. Lauderdale to Miami. So for 20 years the Palestinians have had the opportunity to build their homeland. And look what they have done and what the Israelis capitulation has wrought. In 2006, the Palestinians elected the Hamas butchers to be in control of them and the Gaza Strip and then started building tunnels under their hospitals for the terrorists and digging up water pipes to build rocket launchers. Just in case anybody still believes in the lie of a “two state solution”; one of the leaders of Hamas has publicly announced the real goal. In a video interview, Ghazi Hamad, who lives a life of luxury in Qatar by spending millions of dollars in embezzled aid money, said his terrorist government has no intention of formulating any kind of peace. Instead, in his own words, “they’ll just keep slaughtering Jews until Israel no longer exists”.
There was never a Palestinian state, there is no “two state” solution and Israel needs to eradicate Hamas by whatever means necessary. Anyone who thinks otherwise is as ignorant as those college students who shout “from the river to the sea” with no idea that that slogan is a Palestinian/Hamas chant calling for the complete destruction of the Jewish state. There will be no peace until Hamas, like ISIS, is eradicated.
