The Mainstream Media’s Memory Hole Has Swallowed Deadly Attacks on Jews

Posted on | June 7, 2025 | No Comments

Barely two weeks have elapsed since left-wing activist Elias Rodriguez murdered Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim outside the Capital Jewish Museum in D.C., and it was only last Sunday that an Egyptian illegal alien, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, firebombed pro-Israel demonstrators in Boulder, Colorado, leaving eight people injured, including an 88-year-old Holocaust survivor.

This is an obvious (and ominous) trend — radical terrorists are acting on the Left’s rhetoric about “globalizing the Intifada.” A mere 10 days separated these two attacks, and you might think that journalists would have some sense of civic duty to alert the public to the heightened level of danger this trend represents. Yet coverage of these incidents has swiftly disappeared from the nightly news on ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS, and from the MSNBC and CNN cable channels. Why? Because these attacks do not fit the Democratic Party’s propaganda narrative.

Democrats and their media allies have spent years hyping up the threat of “white supremacy” and “Christian nationalism,” messages intended to convince American Jews that the only threat to them is from “right-wing” (i.e., Republican) antisemites, with Donald Trump being the alleged manifestation of this existential menace. This propaganda narrative is contradicted when the people actually trying to kill Jews are a radical from Chicago named Rodriguez and an Egyptian named Mohamed.

It is from the New York Post — and not from the Times — that we learn about the organized support for anti-Jewish terrorism:

A rabid anti-Israel hate group accused of helping to incite a Columbia University library takeover is now praising alleged DC Jewish Museum shooter Elias Rodriguez’s heinous crime as an act of “love.”
The notorious radical Unity of Fields also touted and provided a link to Rodriguez’s reported hate-fueled manifesto titled, “ESCALATE FOR GAZA, BRING THE WAR HOME.’’
“What Elias Rodriguez did was an act of solidarity and love for the Palestinian people,’’ the extreme lefty organization wrote on X [May 23].
“If this seems crazy and unhinged to you, ask yourself why you are so well adjusted to a constant stream of disemboweled and starving children — made possible by the country in which you reside.” . . .
“We don’t condemn armed resistance,’’ it wrote. “We don’t condemn direct action. We back the left and want this energy to be more organized as opposed to shunned and isolated.”
In touting Rodriguez’s purported manifesto, the group posted a section of the suspect’s twisted screed:
“Those of us against the genocide take satisfaction in arguing that the perpetrators and abettors have forfeited their humanity. I sympathize with this viewpoint and understand its value in soothing the psyche which cannot bear to accept the atrocities it witnesses, even mediated through the screen. But inhumanity has long since shown itself to be shockingly common, mundane, prosaically human.”
Unity of Fields is the same group that put out fliers lionizing a Palestinian terrorist — leaflets that were passed around as anti-Israel protesters stormed Columbia’s Butler Library on May 7.

There are actual organizations involved in promoting “armed resistance” against Jews, so that the so-called “lone wolf” attackers are not actually alone, and copycat attacks are incited: “ESCALATE FOR GAZA!”

In their role as “Democratic operatives as bylines,” journalists must ignore this reality. They ignore the clear connections between the Chinese Communist Party, Neville Singham and anti-Israel activism.

The radical slogan “no enemies to the left” (pas d’ennemis à gauche) has effectively become part of the news media’s handbook. Even when left-wingers are murdering Jews, the media will not interpret this as evidence that the Left may be generally problematic, and the quicker they can shove such a story down the Memory Hole, the better.
