What Began as Propaganda Ends in Murder

(Substack) Maj. (ret.) Andrew Fox - Two young Israeli Embassy staffers were gunned down in cold blood in Washington, D.C., America's capital. They weren't soldiers. They weren't armed. They weren't in Gaza. Let's not pretend this is an isolated act of violence. This murder is not random. It is the logical endpoint of 18 months of relentless, unpunished, institutionalized antisemitic propaganda unleashed across the globe since Oct. 7, 2023. We have lived through a campaign of lies so grotesque it would be laughable if it weren't costing Israeli lives. The evidence of the slaughter and rape of Israeli civilians on Oct. 7 is overwhelming, horrifying, and undeniable. Every denial is a green light for the next massacre. Israel is defending itself against a death cult that hides in hospitals, uses babies as shields, and brags about it on camera. Yet a whole chorus of willfully blind critics prefer to see war crimes where there are none, because it's Israel. Because it's the Jew among nations. No one talks about the billions of dollars Hamas diverted from humanitarian aid. No one discusses the tunnels beneath the schools and hospitals. No one talks about the UN's open complicity with Hamas, because the narrative must be preserved: the Jews are guilty. Every protest chant, every keffiyeh waved in London, New York, Berlin, and Paris, has carried with it a genocidal dream: to wipe Israel off the map. "From the river to the sea" is not a call for peace; it is a call for Jewish extermination. After today, let's stop pretending it is anything else. The two young people died in the heart of the Free World because this genocidal rhetoric has been imported, incubated, and mainstreamed by Western institutions that have lost the moral courage to stand up for the values they supposedly believe in. The Muslim Brotherhood, banned in much of the Middle East, operates with impunity in the West, its ideology spread through "civil society" fronts and protest movements. We have built a society where the right to protest, no matter how violent, threatening, or antisemitic, trumps the responsibility to tell the truth, protect minorities, or maintain public order. What began as propaganda ends in murder. What started with a hashtag ends with a bullet. The people who deny, distort, or defend Hamas's actions are complicit. This isn't about geopolitics. It's about basic decency. It's about whether Jewish blood is still considered sacred in the West, or expendable. We already know the answer.
