‘WTF?’ WaPo questions ‘where Jews belong’ after Israeli Embassy murders

The Washington Post triggered justified outrage Friday by raising questions about “where Jews belong.”

The Post wondered “where Jews belong” in a report it filed about the antisemitic terror attack that occurred outside the Capital Jewish Museum in D.C. this week that left two Israeli Embassy employees dead.

“The killings of two Israeli Embassy staffers amplify confusion felt since the Oct. 7, 2023 attacks about where Jews belong,” the story’s stunning sub-heading read.

The piece itself was slightly more nuanced than the sub-heading and talked about the sense of lost confusion Jewish Americans feel.

“Where do we as a people belong?” Rabbi Ruth Balinsky Friedman, a Jewish text teacher, rhetorically asked the paper. “Where do I belong?”

And if Jewish people belong in America, as some have said, then “why are people shooting us in broad daylight?” Friedman added.

The Post went on to note how this week’s terror attack “has reinforced” the feeling that many American Jewish people have “that they’re unsafe — not safe to wear a yarmulke and not safe to go into Jewish institutional buildings, no matter how much is spent on security.”

But nowhere mentioned in the report was the fact that American Jews feel this way because of the rhetoric and behavior of mainly the loud, belligerent, anti-Israel far-left.

As in the far-left that’s been commandeering college campuses, harassing Jewish students, and screaming “free Palestine” ever since the Oct. 7th terror attack in Israel.

Indeed, responding to the Post’s story, many critics lashing out in anger were quick to argue that if Jews feel unsafe in America, it’s precisely because of the left.

“80 years ago they were marched into gas chambers or worse! Now you’re asking where they belong after 2 were shot down like rabid dogs in the street,” one critic tweeted. “The left calls conservatives Nazi while they are anti semite and murder Jews. The hypocrisy is overwhelming.”

“There is a growing cancer of far-left domestic terrorism,” another critic wrote. “The violent war on Western civilization emanates from the radical left. Make no mistake – it is here right now and we cannot look the other way. WaPo is 100% complicit in this nightmare.”

Meanwhile, over at National Review, the editors of the magazine explicitly called this week “for Democrats to address their anti-semitism problem.”

“Anti-Jewish attacks did not spring forth in a vacuum,” the editors wrote. “Increasingly, the American Left has gone beyond mere criticism of the Jewish State (of the sort that is made against other nations) and adopted the kind of virulent strain of anti-Israel rhetoric that was once mercifully relegated to far-left college campuses.”

“In this environment, Squad members Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Rashida Tlaib can falsely accuse Israel of being an ‘apartheid state’ and of employing U.S. military aid to target civilians and children — a new spin on an old blood libel — and experience almost no rebuke from their own party,” they added.
