Yes, yes, this is precisely the question on everyone’s minds before the victims of the assassin chanting “Free Palestine” have even been buried. Americans watched in horror the last couple of days with the question How will this impact the mostly non-violent “Globalize the Intifada” movement dominating their thoughts.
At least, that’s what dominates the minds of moral idiots. And the New York Times. But I repeat myself.
This is their actual headline today, at a moment when the unfolding events around the assassination of two Israeli embassy workers by a pro-Hamas assassin didn’t even make their digital front page:
Say what? You know who faces an “uncertain path” after this attack? Jews. This murderous extremist targeted an event at the Jewish museum, sending a chilling message about living openly as Jews or Jewish allies in America’s capital. And that was exactly the message that the pro-Hamas activist wanted to send.
And it’s a message that his allies in the “pro-Palestinan” movement want to amplify as well:
“The Israeli embassy workers were not murdered for being Jewish, this is a ridiculous lie to fear monger,” read one tweet that has been reposted hundreds of times. “They were targeted because they are cogs in a genocidal machine. They served a government openly planning to expel 2 million people from their homes.”
Another said: “Anyone who supports or is a party to the injustice, suffering, & genocide that Palestinians have been subjected to deserves zero empathy from me. If they’re put down I will celebrate it just as I would’ve celebrated in 1945 when Hitler’s brain matter hit the wall of his bunker.”
The name of that X profile is “More Elias, More Rodney, More Luigi.” The latter name is a reference to Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing a UnitedHealthcare executive in New York City. The “Free Luigi” movement that swelled in the wake of that murder, celebrating it as an act of resistance against an unjust system, is now seeing hints of being replicated for Rodriguez.
“We all gonna have the same energy for Elias Rodriguez that we did for Luigi,” posted one TikTok user. “No one is untouchable. FREE PALESTINE.”
Oddly enough, the NYT doesn’t cover that story. Instead, they fret over the association of these murders with a movement that routinely chants demands to “globalize the intifada.” As I wrote yesterday, that movement has already been violent, on college campuses and in the streets, attacking Jews and Jewish businesses while cheering on an explicit demand for terrorism. The Paper of Record doesn’t like to cover that in their story, either.
Instead, they opt to use the “mostly peaceful” framing for the pro-Hamas, pro-terrorism movement that finally bloodied its hands this week, emphasis mine:
But the ties of Elias Rodriguez, the suspect, to the wider pro-Palestinian movement remain unclear. Was he a vigilante, upset at the deaths of civilians in Gaza, who decided on his own that violence was the only way forward? Or was he influenced by more extreme pro-Palestinian organizations that reach Americans online and that glorify the actions of Hamas and other armed resistance groups?
In either case, the killings of the Israeli embassy workers, Yaron Lischinsky, 30, who grew up in Israel and Germany, and Sarah Milgrim, 26, who was from Kansas, cast a harsh spotlight on the pro-Palestinian movement in the United States and the impact even peaceful protests might be having on attitudes against people connected to Israel.
The killings also risked painting all pro-Palestinian activists, the vast majority of whom do not engage in violence, with the same brush, which could lead to further repression of their movement. The tragedy occurred just as the movement has been trying to sustain attention in the United States on a blockade by Israel that has put Gaza residents at risk of widespread starvation.
Er … is that even accurate? How many of these “movement” members agitate for violence by demanding to “globalize the intifada”? How many of them call for genocide by chanting Hamas’ slogan “from the river to the sea”? And how many of them — especially those on college campuses — have engaged in intimidation and threats against Jewish students, faculty, and business owners? Just the act of disseminating Hamas propaganda means that the movement is oriented toward violence.
Take, for instance, the group that allegedly participated in the seizure of the Columbia library recently. Unity of Fields is openly celebrating the murders, which also never makes it into the Paper of Record’s report — even though it’s in their own backyard. The New York Post doesn’t hesitate to inform its readers of the true nature of this “pro-Palestinian” movement:
A rabid anti-Israel hate group accused of helping to incite a Columbia University library takeover is now praising alleged DC Jewish Museum shooter Elias Rodriguez’s heinous crime as an act of “love.”
The notorious radical Unity of Fields also touted and provided a link to Rodriguez’s reported hate-fueled manifesto titled, “ESCALATE FOR GAZA, BRING THE WAR HOME.’’
“What Elias Rodriguez did was an act of solidarity and love for the Palestinian people,’’ the extreme lefty organization wrote on X Friday. …
Unity of Fields called the accused double-killer a “political prisoner.
“And the people defending him the hardest, like us, are people also facing repression,’’ it seethed on X on Thursday.
The NYT sees this and wonders: Golly, how does this scrutiny make them and their allies feel?
This coverage is even worse than the NYT’s reporting on al-Ahli hospital hoax, and Lord knows that was bad enough to qualify for a Walter Duranty award all on its own. The New York Times is a morally degenerate organization, a propaganda amplifier for leftist radicals and terrorists. They exist to provide succor to murderers and their allies, while ignoring victims unless blaming them for the crimes of their enemies.
Addendum: I had this in the Final Word last night, but it’s worth adding here. Scott Jennings turned out to be prophetic:
If Biden or Harris were president we’d be getting a scolding right now for this epidemic of Islamophobia. https://t.co/ukAnJmAWC1
