Another day, another Muslim terrorist attack. Actually, we had two yesterday. The one at a Michigan synagogue was committed out of anti-Israel rage — and the Islamic mayor of Dearborn Heights chose not to condemn it unequivocally as antisemitic hate, instead attempting to rationalize the act.

In the very first paragraph of Mayor Mo Baydoun’s statement on the attack, he noted that the terrorist was a resident of Dearborn Heights whose family, including his niece and nephew, was killed in an Israeli strike on Lebanon earlier this month. No mention of his two Hezbollah terrorist brothers who were killed in the strike, of course. This is the radical Left’s go-to approach: blame the victims as if they had it coming. Attacks on white people? Slavery from 200 years ago justifies it. Attacks on Jews? A war on the other side of the world justifies it.
