This past week’s terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, was a shocking and heartbreaking act of hatred. It demands not only our condemnation, but our collective moral clarity. Antisemitism — in any form, anywhere — is a poison that threatens the very values on which this country was founded.We must name it, reject it, and work together to root it out.
In moments like these, words are not enough.We grieve with the victims’ families, we stand with our Jewish neighbors, and we ask: how do we ensure this doesn’t happen again?
Tragically, the attack in Boulder was not an isolated incident. Just 11 days earlier, two Israeli Embassy staffers were murdered in Washington, D.C. in another antisemitic attack.The victims, Sarah Milgrim andYaron Lischinsky were a young couple who were targeted for no other reason than their Jewish identity. These attacks are stark reminders that hatred sadly still finds footholds in our country.
