In the aftermath of the murder of two Israeli embassy staff in New York by a pro-Hamas domestic terrorist, many raise questions on the dangers of recent anti-Israel rhetoric peddled by Western nations. Yaron Lischinsky and soon-to-be wife, Sarah Milgrim, were murdered in cold blood outside the Jewish Museum in New York. last week Wednesday, by a killer who screamed “free Palestine” over their lifeless corpse. A slew of left-wing media outlets have since taken to partly condemn the act with a dilutive spin that suggests the murder of citizens from countries at war is a growing norm. Except it’s not. Not a single Russian or Ukrainian have been killed outside their home country by radicals on account of the war since it began three years ago. It’s the same for Sudan, Syria, Myanmar and Ethiopia where ongoing conflict has led to the death of millions creating massive displacement into Western nations. Since October 7th 2023—the day Hamas Islamic terrorists murdered over 1200 Israelis—till present, over 12,000 pro-Palestine protests have taken place in the US alone. To put into perspective, only 2,300 pro-Israel protests were recorded in the same period. In the UK where a growing number of small towns now boast a majority Islamic population, pro-Palestine protests outnumber other religious or national protests by 5 to 1. In the light of this, the constant vilification of Israel for its fight against next-door terrorism, by the UN and a coalition of left-leaning Western nations, has created a liberal environment for festering antisemitism and anti-Israel extremism. One where Jews all over the world are hunted down to the gleeful cheer of Islamic extremists and apologists alike.
