Karen Diamond, who was severely injured in the antisemitic terror attack on a peaceful demonstration in Boulder earlier this month, has died from her wounds,” wrote the American Jewish Committee in a post on X. “We send our deepest condolences to her family. May her memory be a blessing. 13 other people were injured in this brutal assault on the group advocating for the remaining hostages held by Hamas.” https://www.timesofisrael.com/elderly-woman-hurt-in-colorado-attack-on-activists-for-hostages-dies-of-wounds/
This week, I return from an unexpected month in Israel—where I found myself in the heart of war, not as a journalist or politician, but as a pilgrim. I was with the people of Israel—Jewish, Arab, Christian, and more—living through bombings, fear, and unbelievable courage. I come back changed yet again, with stories that demand our attention, voices that deserve our ears, and truths that must be spoken.
In this episode, I grapple with something deeply painful: the horrific murder of 82-year-old Karen Diamond, a Jewish woman burned alive in Boulder, Colorado, simply for being Jewish. The silence in our media, the lack of public outrage—it shakes me to my core. And it’s not just her. Jewish students at MIT are under attack, children in Virginia are expelled for being Israeli, and antisemitism is surging across the Western world. These aren’t isolated events—they are alarm bells we cannot afford to ignore. I share all this not to provoke fear, but to inspire action. The spirit of Israel is one of moral clarity and resilience, and I invite you to stand in that spirit today. Learn the truth. Share the truth. Be part of the truth. Because when you stand with Israel, you stand on the right side of history.
