Blood Libels Lead to Bloodshed
The murder of two Israeli embassy staffers wasn’t random — it was the result of an onslaught of disinformation, endlessly repeated until someone pulled the trigger.
Sarah Lynn Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky were murdered in cold blood this week in Washington, D.C. The young Israeli diplomats — a couple planning to get engaged — were gunned down outside a Jewish museum by a man radicalized by Hamas propaganda.
Their killer, Elias Rodriguez, didn’t flee or hide. He left behind a manifesto — not inspired by ISIS or al-Qaeda, but by Hamas. More specifically, by Hamas propaganda: the kind funneled through its “health ministry,” broadcast by its “information office,” and repeated uncritically by a willing chorus of Western journalists, activists, and NGOs.
Rodriguez cites the now-standard menu of disinformation: 53,000 killed, 10,000 trapped under rubble, an imminent famine, burned corpses of children, and mass death allegedly ignored by the West. Virtually all of these claims originate from Hamas-run institutions, fabricated or grossly exaggerated for shock value. And yet, these lies are repeated endlessly — not just by fringe radicals but by UN officials, Ivy League students, and legacy media outlets.
Just one day before the murders, the a top UN humanitarian official lied that “14,000 babies” were at risk of dying in Gaza within 48 hours — a fabricated statistic that went viral worldwide. The number was baseless, unverified, and retracted under pressure — but not before it had reached billions of people. That’s the information ecosystem we’re living in. Hamas invents it, the UN amplifies it, and the consequences are real.
This isn’t misinformation. It’s incitement.
And it works. We’ve already seen this movie once — when Aaron Bushnell self-immolated in front of the Israeli embassy while shouting “Free Palestine.” His suicide note, like Rodriguez’s, referenced Hamas talking points. Both men saw the propaganda, internalized it, and believed their violent actions were the only moral path forward.
We need to stop pretending that disinformation is harmless. When institutions launder Hamas fabrications through Western respectability, when lies about genocide and famine are treated as fact, when “health ministry” numbers get repeated without disclaimer, this is the result: dead Jews.
And while this madness unfolds, the world shrugs. UN officials quote Hamas press releases. Reporters regurgitate enemy propaganda. Protesters chant for “intifada.” Disinformation becomes gospel, and truth becomes optional.
So let me be clear.
This will not be the last attack. It won’t even be the last one this year in America.
The Jewish people are used to being hunted. That doesn’t mean we should be.
Do not ever forget: It’s still October 8th. And until we wake up — until we confront the disinformation, the demonization, and the death cult ideology behind it — it will always be October 8th.
May Sarah and Yaron’s memories be a blessing.
If either of these were even remotely accurate, the Gazan population would be on the point of collapse! The msm reporters parrot lies. The pictures tell otherwise. Oh and today, I caught the BBC in the act -showing a clip of starving, homeless children from Syria in 2012, claiming that they were from Gaza. They think we are short-memoried idiots. No wonder their viewing figures have fallen so significantly…
And the UN was forced to retract the fabrication. But not before the damage was done. Deliberately.
