How would the shooter possibly have known that he had served in the IDF? People are really searching for ways to justify this murder. I think it's hard to argue seriously that killing an American Jewish woman and her German Israeli Christian boyfriend outside a D.C. museum to the history of Jews in the Washington area is a legitimate and carefully walled-off expression of anti-Israeli political sentiment. Even if he specifically intended to shoot these people as opposed to just happened to shoot whoever he first encountered outside the museum.

If he did serve in the IDF, then it begs the question how much death and terror was conducted during his service . Do people mourn the deaths of former Hamas members killed in the same way?

and if conservatives started to say that about planned parenthood workers? You are disgusting and are a terrorism supporter

You do realize that conservatives have murdered a lot of abortion clinic workers, right?

maybe two in 50 years

Exactly.

Meanwhile, BLM and Antifa murdered at least 19 people during their BLM riots, seriously injured tens of thousands of police officers, and caused more than $2 billion in property damage, largely through arson.

It all stops now. Zero tolerance for ANY antisemitic behavior.

This will be a turning point.

Did everything change "tomorrow" when three Palestinian-American 20-year olds were shot in Burlington, Vermont? That happened last year and I don't see any zero tolerance for anti-Muslim behavior.

It's awful that people were shot in America, but it happens all the time in a society that for some reason prioritizes guns over people.

+1 where was the "thin red line" when the little boy was murdered by an anti-Muslim man.

Hate begets hate. Violence begets violence.

if you read up on that story they knew each other and were even friends . Sounds like the killer was a nut. Also nobody is celebrating the killer in that story

That's right.. when a white anti-muslim kills a little boy, it's "mental illness". When a 30 year old man with a Hispanic name kills two Jewish adults it's terrorism.

How progressive of you to focus on race.

The salient difference is actually that last night’s shooter was a political activist/extremist, whereas the Chicago shooter had no history of political activism.

In other words, last night’s shooter was part of the movement and the far left is as responsible for him as Trump is for J6.

Can’t make the same claim about the Chicago shooter.

I'm actually not a progressive, but let's not pretend that people automatically assume terrorist when the skin color is brown, and "mental illness" when the skin color is white.

And actually, someone who kills for political reasons is what the military does. They just have a structured command to kill.

Such muddled thinking.

1. Let’s go with the facts, rather than your speculative musings on society’s racism. Fact here is last night’s killer was a political activist, Chicago killer was not. That’s an important distinction.

2. Structured commands, civilian government control, targeting control and approval, subject to discipline and the rules of conflict, etc., etc. In other words, militaries and political terrorists ate nothing alike.

Smh

Except Israel doesn't gaf about "targeted control" or that the UN has condemned Israel's indiscriminate killings, so they don't exactly follow "rules of conflict".

So if Israel doesn't follow the "rule of conflict" why should others?

One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. See Nelson Mandela.

Oh, I get it now! You don’t care about the actual principles being discussed. You just want to justify this douche shooting people on US soil bc Israel! You’re pro terror, even in the USA.

Great. Have a nice life. Thanks for wasting our time.

Never heard of it. The radicalization of the far left and the far right is a problem. And unfortunately, the radicalized right is now running the government. Fortunately, the radicalized far left is extremely small and powerless.

If you think the cold blooded murder these embassy staff is small and powerless you're missing the bigger picture. We've now entered an era where a segment of society will celebrate the death of you and yours (or even just justify it here on dcum) if you belong to the wrong class or identity group. These people are concentrated in far-left leaning institutions like academia and the media.

There is no limiting principle here. Anyone who is part of a system that they disagree they will justify violence against you.

You're a cop? Evil
You're a bystander who steps in and defends others on the subway? Evil
You're a landlord who evicts someone for not paying rent? Evil
You're an insurance CEO? Evil
You're in Israeli? Evil
You served in the military? Evil
You're a politician who opposed green energy legislation? Evil

There is no limiting principle here and anyone who has paid any attention to the free Palestine protests knows that they have a long list of grievances that extend well beyond Gaza.

It’s an argument over who people think is more justified but there certainly isn’t a right side. A bunch of kids have died over a violent 80 year land dispute and it looks like it isn’t nearing an end.

I agree, but if you look at "who had it worse" in the past 30 years, I'd say the Palestinians.

And I used to be an avid supporter of Israel until they kept making the situation worse by constantly encroaching on Palestinian lands.

How would you like it if your neighbor whom you have a contentious relationship with kept building on your land? I would think conservatives would be more sympathetic to people "invading" their land.

I despise the killing in the ME. Doesn't matter the side. But, you refuse to hold Israel accountable for their actions. Like I said, violence begets violence.

You have a nice day yourself, which I'm sure you do ignoring the plight of children in Gaza.

A lot of people are extremely desensitized to violence. The reaction to the CEO killer was the final nail in the coffin. The kids were making silly videos about it on tik tok, they did not care in the slightest.

Except this thread isn’t about the Israeli government’s actions. There are 800 other threads for that.

The fact that you “but Israel” in an attempt to justify the assassination of 2 young people in downtown DC tells us everything we need to know about you.

WTF?

Let's say someone kills some Russian embassy staff shouting "Free Ukraine!" do think that's a red line, where all support (moral, or otherwise) for Ukraine and the Ukrainian people should stop?

Random vigilante killings are wrong, but this doesn't negate the support for Palestinians one iota.

I have no trouble believing the estimates that put the toll at 100,000 or more. More have been murdered since March of this year than in "Protective Edge" and "Cast Lead" put together. What more at this point can one say about the proportion of mangled and burned and exploded human beings whom were children. We who let this happen will never deserve the Palestinians' forgiveness. They've let us know as much.

Nonviolent protest in the opening weeks of the genocide seemed to signal some sort of turning point. Never before had so many tens of thousands joined the Palestinians in the streets across the West. Never before had so many American politicians been forced to concede that, rhetorically at least, the Palestinians were human beings, too. But thus far the rhetoric has not amounted to much. The Israelis themselves boast about their own shock at the free hand the Americans have given them to exterminate the Palestinians. Public opinion has shifted against the genocidal apartheid state, and the American government has simply shrugged, they'll do without public opinion then, criminalize it where they can, suffocate it with bland reassurances that they're doing all they can to restrain Israel where it cannot criminalize protest outright.

That reads like it was written by my idiot Trumper brother-in-law. Same exact nonsense he spews. That’s all the proof I need that this guy they arrested is a maga.

And he had a gun, which is even further proof that he’s a maga. Progressives aren’t violent and don’t have guns.

This guy was clearly, obviously NRA-maga scum.

Has anyone seen a credible report on whether or not this shooter was in the country legally?

Neither are Christian. The guy was Israeli. Just someone stirring up falsehoods by posting that.

According to this website, he was an evangelical Christian who moved from Germany to Israel because he believed in Zionism. It’s a weird backstory:

https://www.israelhayom.com/2025/05/22/slain-israeli-diplomat-yaron-lischinsky-was-german-christian-who-fell-in-love-with-jewish-state/

The LatinX radical who executed him was motivated by hatred for all Israelis and antisemitism. He likely believed he was murdering a Jewish person.

What's prompting you to ask this question? Is it because he has an 'ethnic' name?
