I am horrified, devastated, and enraged. Last night Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim were murdered in cold blood outside a Jewish event in Washington, D.C. – targeted simply for being Jewish and connected to Israel. This was not just an act of antisemitic hatred-it was the outcome of those poisoned by relentless misinformation, where Jews have been so thoroughly dehumanized that killing them is seen as a form of protest. That someone could walk up to people and execute them, then scream "Free Palestine" as if that justifies the slaughter, is beyond comprehension.

We are reaping the consequences of letting antisemitic lies and conspiracies take root and thrive unchecked.

We must face this moment with honesty and urgency-because silence and equivocation are no longer options.
