After an attack by anti-Israel (and anti-American) goons on a Democratic congressman’s office on the Fourth of July, you’ve got to wonder just what it’ll take to put an end to these outrageous, criminal acts once and for all.
Indeed, what will it take for Democrats just to universally condemn them — and agree to stiff consequences for law-breakers?
The pathological hooligans vandalized the Capitol Hill office of pro-Israel Jewish Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.), ripping down posters of the more than 100 hostages, including several Americans, still held by terrorists in Gaza.
Clearly, these sickos believe kidnapping, raping and torturing innocent civilians, as Hamas has done, is a legitimate form of “resistance” (at least, if the victims are Jewish or Israeli, anyway).
The attack on a congressman’s DC office on Independence Day also shows the antisemites’ fierce hatred of America, a truth reaffirmed by their fellow travelers who burned American flags in Washington Square Park on July 4.
And these are only the latest in a seemingly endless string of attacks since Oct. 7 that seek to spread chaos, terror and hatred — and make Americans suffer.

The hit on Schneider’s office came just days after “more than 50 demonstrators” targeted his family home in Illinois at 2:30 a.m., “banging drums, blowing horns and screaming antisemitic chants,” he notes.
That’s outrageous, intolerable — and alarming.
“The escalation in intimidation and incitement against members of Congress feels like it is heading in a dangerous direction,” warns Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY), whose own office in New York was vandalized by “anti-Israel” extremists on Christmas Day.
Clearly, these thugs need to be reined in, yet many Democrats can’t even bring themselves to condemn them.
President Biden himself has said — preposterously — “they have a point.”
Members of The Squad have gone even further in their inane anti-Israel rhetoric.
And it’s all compounded by progressives’ general opposition to imposing meaningful consequences on any lawbreakers.
In New York, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg dropped charges against nearly all the protesters who plagued Columbia University this spring.
The madness won’t end until Dems come to their senses — or voters boot them from office.
