The tragic murder of a young couple at the Washington DC Jewish Museum, at an event sponsored by the Israeli Embassy, is a great human tragedy, and a sign of how antisemitism and hatred, along with the Israeli government total war on Gaza, has led to this disastrous event. This couple was dedicated to promotion of Middle East peace.
Unfortunately, Antisemitism has been mixed with opposition to Israel’s government policies, and all Jewish institutions and Jews on college campuses are threatened as a result of a war that has, seemingly, no end.
One should mourn the deaths of these two young people and others who are threatened and intimidated, but one can also say that people in Gaza should not be treated as if they are all Hamas terrorists, after the horrendous October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel.
Innocent women and children being killed endlessly is not something that anyone should support.
There has to be a solution whereby the humanity of both Israelis and Arabs can be appreciated, even more at a time of a tragedy such as this.
