For all who have called to globalize the Intifada, blood is on your hands

Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim
were young. In love.

They had their whole lives ahead of them.

And just outside the Jewish museum in Washington, D.C. – not Tel Aviv, not Jerusalem, not Ariel or Gush Etzion – not anywhere near a battlefield – they were hunted down and murdered in cold blood. Because they were Jews.

Their killer shouted “Free Palestine” as he was arrested.

This is what “globalize the Intifada” looks like.

Not resistance. Not revolution. And certainly not peace and justice.

Just death.

Let’s be very clear: These two were not soldiers. They were diplomats. Bridge-builders. Believers in peace. In fact, they were attending an event about humanitarian aid.

And now they are dead.

Meanwhile, across the world, missiles were launched from Yemen toward central Israel. The IDF intercepted them. But not every threat is caught in time.

Make no mistake: We are in a multi-front war.

It’s happening in the skies over Tel Aviv, in the kibbutzim of the south, and now in the streets of Washington D.C.

To those who chant from the safety of their campuses and coffee shops, who light matches and then wash their hands: You cannot separate this rhetoric from its consequences.

For all who have called to globalize the Intifada — including, yes, some of you reading this now — their innocent blood is on your hands.

Am Yisrael Chai. We will not be erased.
