I greatly fear that things are going to get much worse before they get better. Intifada is in the streets. By indulging as it has the antisemitic passions of activists both homegrown and foreign, America brought this trouble on itself. And as Proverbs 11:29 warns, “He who troubles his own house shall inherit the wind.”
👏👏👏 This was well-written and well said, Thomas! Elias Rodriquez gunned down two innocent human beings like a mad dog. He should be given the death penalty and executed for the horrific crime he committed two days ago. RIP Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgram! May their memory be a blessing! 🇮🇱✡️❤️🌸🌺💐🕯️🕊️ Those two beautiful souls have now ascended to Heaven where they are under the protection of the lord where that beast can never hurt them again.
Elias Rodriquez has taken on the form of a man but he is really a monster. No human being could ever commit the heinous act he did. My heart goes out to Yaron and Sarah’s grieving families, the American Jewish community and the state of Israel! The shocking rise of antisemitism to appalling levels not seen since the days of the Shoah is truly staggering! I fear for my Jewish friends and professional connections I will be honest.
But at the same time, we can not allow this tragedy to divide us or use this horrific murder as an excuse to hate all Palestinians, Arabs or Muslims. Yaron and Sarah would definitely not want that. Instead, we need to use their tragic murders as motivation to put more love and understanding into the world, educate the American public about antisemitism, call it out when we see it, and use all legal and peaceful means to combat it.
We must also recommit ourselves to fight for peace and coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians. But don’t misunderstand me, I am not naive and do recognize that that is not all we need to do to deal with this problem of Jew hatred in the West. We also at the same time, need to aggressively combat far-left, far-right and Islamist terrorism. Extremists are evil and we must use every resource at our proposal to defeat these groups and bring their members to justice if they break the law.
Does this mean we deport Pro-Palestinian activists for their political views and violate their civil liberties or round up all Arab and Muslim Americans and put them in internment camps and things like that? No, of course not. But it does mean we need to step up our efforts to deal with this very serious problem. I call on the FBI, CIA, NSA, and ATF to coordinate and help protect Jewish Americans. We need to quadruple the police presence in Jewish communities. The state national guard and U.S. Marshals called up to protect Jewish schools, businesses and places of worship.
President Trump needs to declare a national state of emergency. We need to deport any foreign student or national convicted of antisemitic violence or a hate crime. I’m not saying these folks shouldn’t have due process like anyone else. Of course they should, but after a court hearing with a lawyer present, they should be sent home.
We need to revamp our vetting system, arrest and deport illegal immigrants from the Middle East and revoke the visa of any college student who comes to America and is involved in violent anti-Israel or anti-American activity. Kash Patel needs to lead the biggest investigation in the history of the bureau to look into antisemitism on college campuses as should the NSA!
Your points are well taken, though I don’t agree with you entirely. As far as I’’m concerned, being pro-Palestinian means supporting genocidal Palestinian nationalism. American citizens have the right to espouse that heinous cause, but I see no reason why we should tolerate it in the case of foreigners, guests of America, who not only hate Jews but hate this country. Kick them out, I say, and to hell with them.
All that may be true, but it’s entirely beside the point. American Jews are our fellow citizens, and their political opinions don’t deprive them of their civil rights. I’ve gathered the impression, Ms. Murray, that you’re an intelligent person. If so, you must realize this. I’m not criticizing you for making an observation that I myself have made. But you should not let it harden your heart against American Jews.
"Why should American citizens who happen to be Jews have to put up with the harassment, intimidation, and violent assaults that have been going on since 10/7/2023—especially when the perpetrators are foreigners, guests of this country?"
American Jews vote for this. Overwhelmingly, they voted for Kamala.
I live in NYC - there was not a peep among the Jewish establishment about the Columbia encampment riots.
They repeatedly vote for Chuck Schumer - who publicly decried the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil and distorted its legal basis.
The shooting was a case of classic antisemitism, but the larger situation is a huge self-inflicted wound, with Jews as active in their own demise.
Excellent compendium of the chaos brought upon this country courtesy of the far Left. This article brings them all into perspective.
Sarah Milgrim was a native of my city in Kansas, where we are mortified. It was the same city where an attack on a Jewish Community Center occurred in 2014, only that time it was at the hands of a white supremacist. Three people perished — ironically they were not even Jewish.
There are terrible, awful people at the fringes of both sides of the political divide.
The left's ability to deflect every heinous act perpetrated by their adherents is mind boggling. To say that encouraging or demanding an act of murder is protected speech is saying you can yell fire in a packed movie theater. It's nothing but a lie, and those that promulgate these lies are beneath contempt. Only in America can this kind of crap be spewed because we are a free country and the left protects their own, whether their acts are legal or not.
Equal under the law means just that. Mangione and Rodriguez deserve a very public execution as a lesson to the others who would do violence and try to say it's justified.
You are no Christian. You hate God if you hate Jews. God speaking of His covenant with Israel said, “ I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse.” And “He remembers His covenant forever, the promise He made.” Come back here Mr. I’m not really a Christian Schwartz when forever is finished.
DJT ascend your almighty throne!
Long may our illustrious Emperor thrive and prosper!

Thomas - you get it, utterly. Thank you for another poignant article. You create a space where I can breathe.
Thanks for that. And thanks for reading.

Thinking people should be angry.

You are an evil, hideous, disgusting person. As far as I’m concerned, you can stuff your genocidal fantasies up your gaping ass. Now get lost.
Thomas, maybe you should block this idiot--as a service to your thoughtful readers. You are getting great comments. Take care of your commentators.
Maybe I should. But he serves as a reminder of what we’re up against.
I hear you. Leave it there for posterity maybe.
Thrown around so casually, the word "genocide" has well and truly lost any meaning it once had.
You are no Christian. You hate God if you hate Jews. God speaking of His covenant with Israel said, “ I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse.” And “He remembers His covenant forever, the promise He made.” Come back here Mr. I’m not really a Christian Schwartz when forever is finished.
