What happened in Washington, DC on Wednesday night should chill every civilized person to the bone.
Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, two young people, a couple soon to be engaged, promising staffers at the Israeli Embassy, were gunned down in cold blood outside the Capital Jewish Museum, just a mile from the White House.
Their murderer, Elias Rodriguez, allegedly shouted ‘Free, Free Palestine!’ as he opened fire — making clear that this was terrorism and leaving no doubt which poisoned well he drew his misanthropic inspiration from.
This is what ‘Globalize the Intifada’ means.
For months, radical activists have been marching in support of Hamas killers, demonizing Jewish and pro-Israel college students on campuses, vandalizing businesses and art museums, even attacking people in the streets — all under the banner of ‘Free Palestine.’
Peaceful demonstrations in opposition to the Israeli government are one thing. This is something else entirely.

The slogan ‘Globalize the Intifada,’ has been chanted everywhere from Harvard to Times Square to outside the Israeli Embassy in DC.
It’s a call for one thing above all else: to spread the violence of radical Islamic terrorism from the Middle East to the West.
Well, now it’s here, under the banner of ‘Free Palestine.’
Americans cannot dismiss what the Intifada represents: suicide bombings, rocket attacks, the intentional massacre of innocents and all the carnage justified, by twisted minds, when it is deployed against the ‘oppressors.’
Was 30-year-old Sarah Lynn Milgrim, an American, an oppressor?
As a graduate student at the American University School of International Service, Milgrim researched how friendships between Israelis and Palestinians could contribute to peace.
Elias Rodriguez – radicalized, insane – would never have known.
On Thursday afternoon, Rodriguez’s neighbor stood outside their apartment building in Chicago, wearing a Bernie Sanders hat and holding a sign that reads, ‘Ceasefire Now!’
Heartless doesn’t being to describe it. It’s a testament to a blind ‘oppressor’ versus ‘oppressed’ ideology of hatred adopted by the Left that legitimizes anything and everything.

Don’t like Elon Musk? Firebomb a dealership, destroy someone’s car, threaten a Tesla owner on the road.
Angry about ‘corporate greed’? Assassinate a healthcare CEO – and then wallow in the perverse praise of progressive fangirls.
Upset about Israel? Murder young Jews in DC.
This is not fringe anymore. In fact, it’s part of the curriculum, the result of professors teaching that America and Israel are irredeemable, that Jews are ‘colonizers,’ that ‘resistance’ allows for destruction.
The Left’s embrace of violence has come to infuse nearly all of their causes.
And members of Congress, leaders of the Democratic Party, are silent when their radical constituents run wild.
Where were House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and former President Barack Obama when domestic terrorists targeted Elon Musk’s businesses?
Nowhere to be found.
In January, Jeffries vowed to fight Trump’s agenda ‘in the streets.’ In April, a Democrat-led Minnesota County Attorney’s office declined to seek criminal charges against a 33-year-old who allegedly vandalized at least six Tesla vehicles, causing $20,000 in damage.
The Left has turned Luigi Mangione, the alleged killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, into a folk hero.
There are murals of him in Brooklyn. Students wear his face on t-shirts. His legal defense fund hit $1 million in May.
On Thursday morning, Minnesota Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar declined to comment on the DC killings when approached by a reporter.
‘Congresswoman Omar, can I get your reaction to the shooting that happened in DC last night?’
‘I’m going to go for now,’ she quipped, nonchalantly.
Until noon eastern time, Omar hadn’t even acknowledged the deaths on her X account. After lunchtime, she posted, ‘I am appalled by the deadly shooting… Violence should have no place in our country.’
As of this writing, fellow ‘Squad’ member Rashida Tlaib – who has counted Hamas sympathizers among her campaign contributors – hasn’t addressed the murders.
This is not a drill anymore. It’s war — the West versus the death cultists. And if you don’t know which side you’re on, you’re already on the wrong one.
President Donald Trump understands that.
He’s the only major party leader with the moral clarity and guts to say what’s really going on.
While President Joe Biden dithered and whispered and tried not to offend his activist base, Trump is acting.
In the first 100 days of the Trump Administration, they revoked visas, deported radical foreign agitators, and ordered a massive reorganization of the State Department to cut off foreign aid to groups promoting antisemitism and extremism.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been leading on this as well — calling out the visiting students who flood campuses with pro-terrorist propaganda.
The murders of Yaron and Sarah are a sign of how far we’ve fallen and how urgent the fight for Western civilization has become.
Let me say this plainly: Only Trump is treating this like the emergency that it is.
Only Trump understands that when people chant ‘Death to America’ and ‘Globalize the Intifada,’ we should take them seriously.
Only Trump is confronting the truth that this isn’t just about Israel — it’s about our civilization, our values, our future.
What happened Wednesday night wasn’t a fluke. It was the foul harvest of months — years — of indoctrination, cowardice, and appeasement. And now the Left wants to wring their hands and say ‘violence has no place here?’
That won’t cut it.
