From the “Wasting Your Breath” Department: Just to compare who gets thrown out of the United States and who doesn’t: There’s the illegal arrest of Salah Sarsour, the president of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee and the illegal imprisonment and repeated attempts to deport Columbia University students Mahmoud Khalil and Mohsen Mahdawi, all of them green card holders, among others, all of them for merely protesting, without violence, against the Israeli genocide in Gaza. You never heard of any actions against pro-Israeli students who supported Benjamin Netanyahu’s calls for a genocidal war (“You must remember what Amalek has done to you,” the Israeli prime minister said after Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack, alluding to the bible call to “kill alike men and women, infants and sucklings”) or Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant claiming “we are fighting human animals” or Israeli Finance Minister calling for “total destruction” of the Palestinian people or Israeli Knesset deputy Speaker Nassim Vaturi writing on X that Israel should be “erasing the Gaza Strip from the face of the earth” (isn’t that the language Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had used against Israel?) and saying “we must get in there and kil, kill, kill,” and so on: examples of Israeli officials inciting to genocide and pro-Israelis on American campuses or in the American workplace echoing the bloodlust are plenty. Examples of a single silencing, a single imprisonment, a single attempted deportation for those views–which were being carried out in fact, with American weapons, in Gaza and the West Bank–are nonexistent.

October 7 was a well-coordinated and murderous terrorist attack, akin to the attack on the United States on September 11, 2001, an event that no one has ever described as a pogrom. Israel has become what Bialik had hoped for, an independent state with its own army, police, laws, and government, and therefore an entity that by definition cannot be subjected to a pogrom, which is a mob attack, condoned or supported by the state authorities, against a minority lacking any attributes of a state. To be sure, pogroms have occurred within the territories controlled by Israel, but when they take place, they were and are being carried out, with increasing frequency and ferocity, by settlers in the West Bank. These settlers target Palestinian communities, with IDF troops either idly standing by or actively taking part, before those troops eventually and reluctantly put an end to the violence, rarely arresting, let alone bringing charges against, the Jewish pogromists. […] This violence has included a rising toll of child victims. According to a July 2024 report by UNICEF (UN Children’s Fund), on average, one Palestinian child was killed in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, every two days since October 2023, with an additional 440 children wounded by gunfire during that period. Between October 2023 and the end of 2024, altogether 986 Palestinians were killed in the West Bank, including 210 minors. The online +972 Magazine reported in December 2024 that as a result of settler attacks, the residents of at least fifty-seven Palestinian communities in the West Bank had been forced to evacuate since October 7, with fifty of them being entirely wiped off the map. By October 2025 the newspaper Haaretz estimated that up to eighty rural Palestinian communities had been destroyed. According to the Israeli NGO the Daily Page, in September 2025 alone, 2,215 settler attacks on Palestinian communities were recorded, of which 114 culminated is deaths, injuries, and/or material damage. The Israeli human rights NGO B’Tselem documented 40,000 inhabitants of refugee camps in the northern West Bank displaced from their homes in the first three months of 2025.
