Antisemitic Scourge Today

  • Two young employees of the Israeli Embassy, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim were murdered on May 21 outside the Capital Jewish Museum in the heart of Washington D.C.  

    The slaying was an extreme example of what law enforcement officials and others call a global surge in antisemitic incidents that emerged after Hamas terrorists killed more than 1,200 people and seized 250 hostages on Oct. 7, 2023.

     Yaron and Sarah's murders were terrorist hate crimes aimed squarely at the Jewish community. 

     Terrorism is a pathology of political impotence. In a democratic society –and the United States, if only by a thread, still is one – a movement resorts to terror when it has failed in the central tasks of politics: That is, winning others over to its cause through persuasion, leveraging the power of people to pressure decision makers and raising representatives to positions of influence through electoral gains.

The first instance, several minutes into the service involved a superimposition of a red swastika being drawn on the top of video-cast images. Several minutes later, new images where superimposed containing not only swastika but also obscene video from the PornoHub. Subsequently, sound of the Zoom meeting was interfered with.

    Authorities have been notified about this incident.
