The liberal media and their obsession with victimhood strikes again! In a recent episode of “Outnumbered” on Fox News, Morgan Ortagus, founder of Polaris National Security and former State Department spokesperson, appeared teary-eyed as she talked about the so-called “horrifying footage” of a mob hunting for Jews in Dagestan. Now, let’s not get carried away with the emotions here. Sure, anti-Semitic hate is a concern, but the left loves to use isolated incidents to paint a larger narrative of victimhood.
'I Will Not Hide': Morgan Ortagus Responds to Surge of Anti-Semitism https://t.co/zfVmgdKbXu

Ortagus went on to express her fear for her own family’s safety, as if every Jew in the world is under imminent threat. She even brought up the tired and overused comparison to Hitler and the Nazis. Seriously, can’t we have a conversation without invoking the most extreme and unthinkable comparisons?
Harris Faulkner, another co-host on the show, chimed in with her own dramatics. She talked about how Jews are being “hunted” and “caught,” as if we’re living in some dystopian nightmare. Let’s get some perspective here, folks. Yes, there are instances of anti-Semitism, but it’s not an all-out war on the Jewish people.
Ortagus then declared that she will not hide her Jewish identity and will teach her daughter to fight. While it’s important to stand up against hate and defend one’s beliefs, this kind of talk only fuels division and paranoia. It’s as if every person who disagrees with a Jew is automatically an anti-Semite. Can’t we have nuanced conversations without resorting to fear-mongering rhetoric?
The reality is that incidents like the one in Dagestan are isolated and not representative of the wider world. Yes, there are pockets of hatred and bigotry, but to suggest that Jews need to constantly be in a state of fear and hide their identity is simply hyperbole. Let’s focus on fostering unity and understanding, rather than perpetuating a victim mentality. Our country, despite its flaws, remains a beacon of freedom and tolerance for all.
