Beth Brelje writes for the Federalist about the legacy media’s questionable judgment.
On Sunday an illegal alien named Mohamed Soliman allegedly shouted, “Free Palestine” and used a makeshift flamethrower to set a crowd of Jews on fire in Boulder, Colorado. According to a criminal complaint, Soliman — who has been charged with a federal hate crime and several other crimes — said that he “wanted to kill all Zionist people and wished they were all dead.” But the media seem just as eager to downplay the antisemitic nature of this attack (and other instances of violence against Jews) as they were to accuse Elon Musk of antisemitism for raising his hand in the air.
Only five months ago, when the media freaked out over Musk’s gesture, the propaganda press wanted you to believe it was hypervigilant about antisemitism.
In one of President Donald Trump’s January inauguration events, Musk was flailing his arms about, and at one point, his hand went from touching his chest to an outstretched arm. Click went the cameras; wag went the tongues. …
… The propaganda press is now nearly silent on in-your-face antisemitism, failing to sound the alarm that the “Free Palestine” movement is at the root of recent high-profile crimes.
Last month the Department of Justice charged Elias Rodriguez, 31, of Chicago, with the murders of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgram, “two Israeli Embassy staff members outside the Jewish National Museum in Washington, D.C.,” according to the DOJ. Rodriguez was caught on video after his arrest shouting, “Free Palestine,” but his ideology has been downplayed in the news.
A man allegedly claiming responsibility for killing two Jewish people and then yelling out “Free Palestine” is apparently not enough for ABC News to conclude that antisemitism was a motive. …
… In response to the murder of these two young Jews, taxpayer-funded NPR reacted with skepticism instead of clearly calling out antisemitism.
