Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim were just murdered in cold blood.
These two young staffers from the Israeli Embassy were shot and killed outside a Jewish event in Washington, DC.
They had just left a humanitarian gathering at the Capital Jewish Museum—an event focused on turning pain into purpose. One of them had just bought a ring.
He was planning to propose next week in Jerusalem.
The shooter opened fire at close range. As he was arrested, he chanted, “Free Palestine.”
Let’s be clear: this wasn’t resistance. This wasn’t protest. This was cold-blooded murder.
And it didn’t happen in a war zone. It happened on the steps of a Jewish museum, in the capital of the United States, during an event centered on cross-faith cooperation and aid.
This is where we are.
Peaceful protest stops being peaceful the moment it gives cover to violent ideology—because violence always follows. If your rhetoric dehumanizes Jews, if your cause requires you to cheer for murder, if your silence excuses the killing of a young couple simply for being Israeli and Jewish—then your movement isn’t about justice. It’s about vengeance.
We are seeing a dangerous trend: the line between political cause and murderous hate is blurring—and too many people are letting it happen. They’re rationalizing it. Justifying it. Even glorifying it.
Don’t.
There is no cause that justifies walking up to innocent people and shooting them point blank. There is no context that makes this okay. There is no justice in hate.
This isn’t a post about policy. This is a post about basic human decency.
So if you believe in coexistence, in dignity, in compassion for all people—then now is the time to speak up. Not only against the murderers, but against the narratives that breed them. Against the movements that excuse them. Against the voices that fuel them.
Because when you normalize hate, this is where it leads.
May Yaron L. and Sarah Milgrim rest in peace.
