The media is going to suffocate this story or be laughably dense so as not to make their pro-Hamas readership mad. Wednesday night, Israeli Embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim were assassinated by Elias Rodriguez, a Chicago native, at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC, during an event for young diplomats. Rodriguez shouted, “Free, free Palestine,” as police arrested him. Only the liberal media will wonder what the motive is.
The reaction has been sloppy on the left: they don’t know how to react. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) straight-up refused to offer comment. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) had a heavily sanitized statement—these left-wingers pal around with these vicious antisemites.

No one ever shouts “Free Palestine” while holding up a copy of the Oslo accords or the two-state map Olmert offered to Abbas in 2008.

Stop rationalizing "intifada" and "from the river to the sea" and all the rest as open to interpretation. pic.twitter.com/R7RhXmAR6e
This CNN exchange truly says it all—they want to protect the narrative that the antisemitic mobs that took over college campuses nationwide are peaceful. What happened last night with these brutal murders is the chants for global intifada in action.
Another astonishing display from CNN and a masterclass reality check from Jonathan. A must watch.

The media’s go-to reaction to any of these attacks is to walk on eggshells and avoid reporting what is clear as day—this attack was motivated by one’s hatred of Jews.
Rodriguez posted an antisemitic manifesto before the shootings. The inability to call things what they are is why groups like Hamas can thrive. It’s why more will tragically take its place, even after Israeli forces wipe out the rest of this evil group. The terrorists know how to mold, flip, and work an idiot—that would be liberal America.
Colleges have become incubators of antisemitism. It’s how these institutions got rolled last Spring. I like what the Trump administration is doing by nixing the further acceptance of foreign students. We need to clean up things here at home. Uproot and expose pro-Hamas faculty and staff, and document how many students nationwide hold views that drove Rodriguez to murder.
I want hearings. I want names. We need to crush this virus. It’s not free speech. It has now veered into left-wing terrorism. If we have to park tanks on these campuses, so be it.
