The Jewish museum murders are the result of the Left normalizing violence

Protesters have chanted, “Globalize the intifada!” and “There is only one solution, intifada revolution!” across U.S. college campuses and city streets since Israel began defending itself after the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks. Radical activists have used these dark slogans not just as a chant but as a call to action. It is time for Americans to face the true threat posed by radicalized progressive Democrats.

The deaths of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, two Israeli Embassy staffers, outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday evening underscore this new reality. The shooter, a pro-Palestinian activist tied to the communist Party for Socialism and Liberation, shouted “Free, free Palestine!” — another phrase ubiquitous at anti-Israel demonstrations — as police escorted him away. He later told them he “did it for Gaza.”
