A Globalized Intifada: How the Left Normalized Anti-Semitic Violence

I’ve seen enough -- the blood-soaked streets of Washington, D.C., and the charred victims in Boulder, Colorado, tell a horrifying story that much of America’s left-wing political class refuses to acknowledge: The “globalized intifada” that progressive activists have been openly calling for since the very first days of Israeli retaliation for the October 7th attacks has arrived on American soil.

On May 21st, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgram -- two young Israeli embassy staffers who were set to be engaged in just a week -- were gunned down outside the Capital Jewish Museum by Elias Rodriguez, who was recorded repeatedly shouting “Free Palestine” as he was arrested. Just ten days later, Mohamad Sabry Soliman used a makeshift flamethrower and Molotov cocktails to attack a peaceful demonstration of Americans showing their support for Israel. Eight people were burned in the attack, some badly.

These weren’t random acts of violence. They were the inevitable result of years of increasingly inflammatory rhetoric from the progressive Left that has systematically dehumanized Jews and legitimized violence against them under the banner of “resistance.”

Since Hamas’ barbaric massacre of more than 1,200 Israeli civilians, including women and young children, FBI data shows that anti-Jewish hate crimes have shot up by 63%. This surge didn’t happen in a vacuum. It followed months of campus protests where crowds violently rioted, took over buildings, shut down classes -- sometimes for weeks on end -- and widely chanted “globalize the intifada,” a direct call to bring the violent tactics of the Second Palestinian Intifada to the rest of the world.

The Left’s complicity runs deeper than its silence in the face of rioting supporters. Progressive politicians have actively embraced and defended these movements. Rep. Pramila Jayapal explicitly said that “Israel is a racist state” while addressing a pro-Palestine conference

And yet the left calls their conservative “enemies” NAZI and Hitler. It is classic projection.

Language manipulations

The left is good at it.

AOC,
So when are conservatives going to stop using the leftist word PROTEST ?
Use RIOT.
When will they start calling any street or sidewalk stopping of passage what it is. VIOLENCE.
What is wrong with conservatives?

Leftist, not liberal. Never use the name they choose to call themselves. Remember, “liberal” implies great tolerance, which is the opposite of a leftist, who wishes to utterly destroy anything that goes against their desires.

blocking people is not protest it is violence.

"How the Left Normalized Anti-Semitic Violence"

Even the holocaust wasn't "normalized". The Nazis called it the "Jewish problem", so their perspective on it couldn't have been that it was a normalizing when it was their "final solution" to it.

Domestic enemies exposed.

good article - but it doesn’t go back far enough. need to include decades of turning a blind-eye to what was happening on college campuses with Israeli “apartheid” protests that went unanswered,installing of anti-Israel faculty and the backing down of Schumer on Ilhan Omar’s “Benjamins” comment, condemning Hate not her anti-semitism.
