Here, in its entirety, is today’s lead editorial in the New York Post:
Pro-Hamas thugs have now targeted The New York Post — and we couldn’t be prouder.
Within Our Lifetime, an organization dedicated to the “abolition of Zionism” (a k a the destruction of Israel), on Wednesday posted a map with several physical-address New York targets for “direct action” to “globalize intifada,” under the rubric KNOW YOUR ENEMY.
The list included The New York Times, BlackRock and a raft of Jewish groups — all targeted for standing with Israel and against the inhuman atrocities of Hamas. (Or in the Times’ case, presumably not being anti-Israel enough.)
Some groups, like the World Jewish Congress, look like they got picked out simply for being Jewish.
No shock, since Within Our Lifetime’s chief is recent CUNY Law commencement speaker Nerdeen Kiswani, notorious for openly fantasizing about the deaths of Jews.
Let’s be clear: The “direct action” called for here is not a euphemism.
It means programmatic intimidation and even violence to terrorize all those who dare question or oppose.
The group’s 120,000-plus followers on Instagram know exactly what was meant.
Within Our Lifetime is not fighting for Palestinians, but for terror.
And it shared the map because, after the Oct. 7 butcheries, Israel launched a justified counterattack against Hamas’ Gaza stronghold.
In other words, Within Our Lifetime proudly backs the baby-beheaders.
These groups are counting on ignorance, indoctrination and intimidation to turn America against a Middle East democracy. Which means journalists and average citizens need to keep the pressure up and the sunlight shining in.
As that fight against New York’s new pogromists continues, we’ll wear our target like a badge of honor.

“Globalize intifada”? Hmmmm.
In case you are wondering what an “intifada” is, here’s your answer:
An intifada (Arabic: انتفاضة intifāḍah) is a rebellion or uprising, or a resistance movement. It is a key concept in contemporary Arabic usage referring to a uprising against oppression.
If you check google, you’ll find that many venues define “intifada” specifically as an uprising by “Palestinians” in the west bank (actually Judaea and Samaria) and Gaza against Israel.
Now that’s an interesting use of terms. Let’s think about it a bit.
Roughly 20% of the Israel population is Arabs. Did you know that (a great many people don’t). So how oppressed are they?
Well…Arabs have full rights within Israel – including the right to vote (men and women both), buy and sell property, serve in the government – including the Knesset (Israeli Parliament), serve in the judiciary, and (although service is entirely voluntary and the numbers are low), even serve in the military.
Additionally, there are mixed neighborhoods where Jews and Arabs live together in cities throughout the country, including Haifa, Lod, Ramle, Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Acre, Nof HaGalil, and Ma’alot Tarshiha.
That’s some helluvan oppressive society. Anyone want to compare it to the openness/lack of oppression against minorities in the 22 Arab countries?
The truth, therefore, is that Israel is not oppressive toward Arabs. The truth is that the issues Israel has with Arabs are specifically with Arabs who intend to obliterate the country and kill Jews. Like hamas, for example.
Maybe I’m naive, but I sort of suspect that any country would have issues with people who want to obliterate it and kill its citizens.
Agree? Disagree? Your call.
