A TV news interview with Sarah Milgrim one of the victims of last night’s shooting terror attack in Washington DC, has surfaced.
In 2017, Milgrim was interviewed by a KSHB TV reporter after swastikas were spray-painted on buildings at the Shawnee Mission East campus.
DIN: I've read hundreds of comments stating that Sarah and Yaron weren't Jewish!
The bastard that killed them, murdered them for one reason, thinking that they were Jewish!
Why are we now changing the narrative and telling the world that they weren't Jewish?
If they weren't Jewish, then the killing wasn't a bias crime, and this guy will claim it wasn't a "hate crime", and will walk in 5 years!
In the video above she obviously thinks she is Jewish and says that she is afraid to "go to shul"!
You know, something I judge Jews with Hitler's ym"s criteria, Hitler would have shoved her in the same oven of a Lakewood guy! To the antisemite, there are no shades of Jewish.
They don’t check your lineage. They don’t ask which parent is Jewish. They don’t care if you fasted on Yom Kippur or lit candles on Shabbat. They don’t ask if you agree with Israeli policy or if you’ve even stepped foot in a synagogue.
And to those of you posting “#NotInMyName,” or in the Yeshivishe and Chassidishe chats, thinking that somehow your public disavowal of Israel will buy you safety or favor — understand this: The shooter doesn’t stop to ask who you voted for. He doesn’t check your Instagram for hashtags. He doesn’t sort out the Zionists from the anti-Zionists, the religious from the secular, the converts from the critics.
He sees Jew-ish — and that’s enough.. If your grandfather was Jewish — you were marked. And you were hunted.
That’s how antisemitism works. It doesn’t care about nuance. It doesn’t care about politics.It just cares that you’re Jew-ish. And no amount of hashtags will change that.
So if you’ve ever thought: “I’m Satmar, I'm Lakewood, I'm Neturei Karta, I'm not religious. This doesn’t affect me.” Or even, “I’ve distanced myself from Israel, so I’ll be fine.”
Think again.
This is your fight. It’s our fight. Because the people who hate Jews don’t distinguish between denominations, DNA, or degrees of observance. They don’t hate you for what you do — they hate you for what you are.
And while that truth is terrifying, it also holds a strange kind of power.
Because if being Jew-ish is enough to be targeted, then maybe it should be enough to stand up. Enough to speak out. Enough to say: if you come for one of us, you come for all of us. We live in a time where unity is no longer a luxury — it’s a matter of survival.We don’t get to choose how the world sees us. But we can choose how we see each other.
And maybe, just maybe, that’s where healing begins.
