They Are the Racists

This past Independence Day, a disgraceful, vile shadow fell over our celebrations. We witnessed so-called “protests” erupt again in violence, filled with smoke bombs, flag burning, and calls for intifada, “death to America,” and violent jihad “by any means necessary.” These weren’t demonstrations for change; they were hateful displays demanding the overthrow of our nation and its core values.

The Fourth of July is a celebration of freedom, coexistence, respect, and tolerance. Yet, these mobs seek to dismantle everything we hold dear. Their vision isn’t of peaceful coexistence but of silencing dissent and destruction—a vision that threatens the very fabric of our society.

They weaponize the term “racist” to silence opposition, masking their own bigotry with accusations against those who defend our way of life. They intimidate, threaten, and harass not just Jews but Americans of all faiths—Muslims, Christians, and everyone who doesn’t bow to their demands.

The question lingers: why do we tolerate this terror, violence, and mockery of our national values?

We’ve seen this play out before, not just here but across the globe. Fueled by hate, these mobs exploit our generosity and tolerance. The time for silence is over.

The right to free speech, enshrined by our Founding Fathers, was never meant to be a shield for hate, terror, and violence. They would be horrified to see the bigotry, intimidation, and destruction plaguing our streets.

We are a nation built on inclusion and respect for diverse opinions. But tolerance has its limits. When our communities, campuses, and cities are overrun by those who seek to tear down everything we’ve built, we must act.

Those who are here illegally or are on visas and cannot live peacefully forfeit the right to remain here. Deportation is a necessary conversation, a way to protect our nation from those who threaten its very core.

Some may say this is a harsh stance. But there’s nothing racist about safeguarding our people and freedom from those who exploit our kindness. Turning a blind eye to escalating violence is not democracy; it’s a descent into chaos.

Even for citizens, freedom of speech doesn’t extend to threats, harassment, violence, or violating others’ rights. Yet, these “protesters” routinely engage in such actions, and they need to face the full force of the law, including bona fide jail time.

Our politicians appease these mobs, and our law enforcement is hamstrung by political correctness. This sends a dangerous message: there are no consequences for violence and hatred.

We must reclaim our streets and campuses. If our leaders fail to act, we, the people, must hold them accountable through the power of the ballot box. If our justice system fails to prosecute these criminals, we must demand reform.

We cannot be afraid to confront this threat honestly. It’s time to stand firm and defend the freedoms we cherish. A strong America is a nation built not only on tolerance and respect but also on law and order, and this is the only way to secure a brighter future for all.
