Second Murder in Two Days Rocks Chicago Jewish Community
“Eliyahu Moscowitz, 24, was the second victim shot in the head by the same gun and, according to police, likely the same gunman, as Douglas Watts, 73, who was killed 36 hours earlier.” And for these murders to take place on Simchas Torah is a clear sign that there is nothing random about them; they were intended to terrorize the Jewish community. This is more of the poison fruit of the left’s increasing embrace of Jew-hatred, as part of its alliance with Islam and jihad. The left’s vicious hostility to Israel and ready dissemination of “Palestinian” jihad propaganda demonizing Israel with fabricated atrocities creates an environment in which no Jew is safe anywhere in the world — and only underscores the need for the State of Israel.

For it to happen on Simchas Torah, to such a special soul — that [God] took him on such a day — was very challenging,” he said.“We went from extreme happiness to mourning: it’s unbearable.”…
