Today on The Editors, Rich, Dominic, Phil, and Ramesh discuss the firebombing of Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’s home.

“He has absolutely nothing to do with the war in Gaza,” Dominic notes. “He has absolutely nothing to do with Israel’s policymaking. And the only reason that he was attacked is because he’s Jewish. And it’s one of the repulsive beliefs that a lot of these pro-Palestinian, pro-terrorist activist hold is that all Jews everywhere in the world are somehow legitimate targets for their expressed displeasure with the policies of Israel.”

The damage to the governor’s home was extensive: “The pictures are horrifying. Entire rooms of the governor’s mansion are just burnt to a crisp.” Dominic says, “We should not be minimizing this. This is targeted political violence against a Jewish man and his family. . . . This is horrifying.”
