It was no coincidence that on the same day that much of the mainstream media swallowed Hamas lies about Israelis slaughtering people in the Gaza Strip, that another violent antisemitic attack occurred in the United States. What happened in Boulder, Colo., on June 1, when an Egyptian immigrant attempted to incinerate a group of American Jews, many of them elderly, who were walking in a public space on behalf of the remaining Israeli hostages being held by Hamas, was a horrifying crime.

But this third incident of violence in recent weeks—following the murder of two young Israeli embassy employees in Washington last month and the attack on Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s home in Harrisburg on Passover—cannot be separated from the avalanche of anti-Israel propaganda coming out of the mainstream liberal media in the last 20 months since the Hamas-led Palestinian Arab terror attacks on southern Israeli communities on Oct. 7, 2023.

As such, it means that American Jews should do something many of them would prefer to avoid: accept that many of their erstwhile political allies on other issues who have embraced “pro-Palestine” advocacy are part of a movement that is inextricably tied to antisemitism.
