We allow people to “otherize” and demonize folks, and we forget to appreciate that it often turns violent.
Everyone has to do a better job of ensuring disagreements don’t lead to this disturbing and dangerous process.

“Otherization” is very real and refers to the process of treating a person or group as different and alien – and it can lead to marginalization, exclusion, and murder. The tragedy of war throughout the globe should never lead to violence against its diaspora communities.
One answer is that what happened on Wednesday is similar to the outrageous murder of Wadea Al-Fayoume, a 6-year-old Palestinian-American child outside of Chicago in 2023.

So how does someone execute two innocent people outside of a Jewish event in DC about supporting humanitarian diplomacy in the Middle East?
Most just want Palestinians to be safe and healthy, and to be in a position to rebuild. They want self-governance and self-determination for Palestinians.
I do too.
To be clear, most of the protestors aren’t violent. They hate the war and suffering of innocent people.
I hate the war and suffering of innocent people.
We worry about being on Capitol Hill, too. Without going into specific security concerns, we know that what happened to Yaron and Sarah could happen to one of us as we move around the Capitol.
We think about it every time we leave our offices, leave a committee hearing, or cross the street.
Many other Jewish members of Congress and local advocates who have also been vocal about Israel and the war deal with similar safety issues.
Some members have constant police protection when they’re home.
Anti-Israel protesters have followed me around for the past year and a half. They don’t just protest. They get in my face, screaming about the “genocide” I’m causing. They threaten me & my family. “You will pay for this,” they say.
We woke one morning to this. They slept outside our home for days.
Last Saturday at a rally back home, I decided not to have police protection.
Standing in a crowd talking to constituents, I had the most vivid image: All of a sudden, I saw myself on the ground, dead from a gunshot.
This is what actually happened a few days later to Yaron and Sarah.
First, let me be as honest and as personal as it gets.
I have had a hard time getting the image of being shot and killed out of my head. It happens almost every time I’m in a big crowd now.
Here is the couple. We should all pray for their loved ones.

Last week outside the Capital Jewish Museum, two innocent young people were executed. For many of us, this was deeply personal and profoundly unsettling.
This is my sincere attempt to help folks make sense of this – and offer a better way forward. 🧵👇🏼
On Memorial Day, we honor our nation’s heroes who gave the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedom and democracy.
We’ll keep fighting to make sure those who serve receive the care they deserve – and their families are supported.
Some final math. A bill that protects health care, food assistance, and the budget?
That bill would get 350 votes in the House. And it’d actually help people.
If you get a few Republicans & Democrats to go through the Government Accountability Office reports and find waste, fraud, and abuse that everyone can agree on, you save a ton of money.
Meaning that you can do ALL of this without taking away healthcare, food assistance, or adding to the deficit.
If you make a few changes to the tax code at the top for the super wealthy and big corporations, no one loses their health insurance, no one loses food, and you don't add anything to the deficit.
For the wealthiest Americans:
➡️ Reset top tax rate from 37% to 39.6% = 250B+
➡️ Create a minimum billionaire tax, the “Elon Tax” = $500B+
➡️ Close a few loopholes just for the ultra-wealthy.
In 2017, the corporate tax rate was 35%.
Trump & Republicans cut it to 21%, exploding the deficit.
We don’t have to go back up to 35%. We can just raise it to 28% and that’s $1.3T in new revenue.
