(Wall Street Journal) Editorial - On Monday, anti-Israel protesters wouldn't let a tribute to Israelis murdered at the Nova Music Festival on Oct. 7 be held in peace. Hamas massacred 260 people, mostly young, at that festival. Women were raped and their bodies mutilated before they were killed. The butchery and sadism were the point, inflicted out of hatred because the victims were Jews. "Long live Intifada," the crowd cheered, waving flares outside the exhibit. Young American adults waved Hamas and Hizbullah flags. New York Mayor Eric Adams called the spectacle "pure antisemitism," and he's right. On Tuesday night, protesters vandalized the homes of Brooklyn Museum Jewish board members and the building of the museum director. The vandals marked their doors with upside down red triangles, a symbol used by Hamas's al-Qassam brigades to identify targets. These families now need protection from the New York Police Department. America has an antisemitism problem that is growing in its extremism.
