The tragic murders of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim after a Young Diplomats event underscore a growing trend of targeted antisemitism within the U.S., particularly as indicated by the suspect's radical affiliations. This act of violence comes amidst a documented rise of antisemitic incidents, with the Anti-Defamation League reporting the worst statistics in over four decades, including a significant increase in violent assaults. The case illustrates a worrying pattern of politically motivated hatred manifesting as violence against Jewish individuals and communities.
The data has been staring us in the face. Last year was the worst for antisemitic incidents since ADL began tracking over four decades ago.
This was not random violence. This was targeted antisemitism. This was an attack, not just against the D.C. Jewish community, but against all Jewish Americans.
