As was the case after the 9/11 attacks, the liberal media is trying to convince us that Muslims are under siege, instead of focusing on Islamist Jew-hatred and terrorism.
In the 30 months since the Hamas-led Palestinian Arab terror attacks in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, Jews around the world have found themselves under siege. The unspeakable atrocities committed against men, women and children that day, combined with the distorted coverage of the Jewish state’s subsequent war of self-defense against its assailants, set off a global tsunami of antisemitism.
While much of this hatred has been promoted by extremists, including right-wing podcasters and left-wing academics, it has nevertheless made itself felt throughout American society. In both popular culture and legacy media, tropes of Jew-hatred focusing on the State of Israel and its supporters have been normalized to the point of becoming commonplace. That wave of hatred has helped incite and inspire a series of violent attacks on Jewish targets, the latest being the assault last week on a Michigan synagogue.
According to The New York Times and the rest of the liberal media, however, the real problem facing American society today is Islamophobia.
