Man and Woman Shot and Killed Outside Capital Jewish Museum

Anonymous
They were literally foreign agents of a foreign government operating in our country. Yes, it sucks that they were murdered; this isn’t going to help the starving kids of Gaza that Israel is trying to kill en mass.

But I’ll have much more sympathy for American Jews who are victims of senseless antisemitism. Diplomats have been “fair game” throughout history; it’s not a particularly safe job.

While it's certainly possible to criticize Israeli gov't policy on it's merits, this circular logic exemplifies how more often than not it's just anti-semitism.

The difference between racism and anti-semitism is that racists generally view their racial/ethnic/religious group as superior to others, while anti-semites view a specific group (Jews) as solely responsible for the world's ills in some way. With this logic, Israel is solely responsible for the world's ills and in this particular case, the Jewish diaspora's ills. If Israel did not exists, Jews in the diaspora would be safe--or "safer"--whatever that means.

Israel is not upsetting people around the world by simply existing. They are committing a brutal genocide. No one is suggesting they are responsible for “the world’s ills” but they are 100% responsible for their own abhorrent actions. If Israel represents Jewish statehood, how is committing war crimes in their name making Jewish people safer? Where do you expect extremists to direct their anger?


Nothing can justify this senseless murder. Nothing.
Stop trying. There is no justification.


+1.

Sometimes you can express sadness that lives are lost and then shut up. All this " we understand this and that" is completely unnecessary. If terrorists were shooting everyday Americans in the street, would you justify that using America's actions/policies abroad? It does not matter whether Palestinians or Israelis are the ones getting killed. These are people with families. It's senseless, all of it.

If Sandy Hook wasn’t a line, I don’t think 2 adults shot dead on a sidewalk will be a line either.

There are two many guns in this country.

Elias Rodriguez was a conspiracy nut loon. Crazy people are going to do what crazy people do when they get their hands on guns.

So yeah, this guy didn’t just happen to randomly shoot this event because he wanted to kill Jews (eg, the Tree of Life shooting). Someone else had to tell him about this event’s place and time.


That's b/c the Free Palestine movt is just another spliter faction of Marxist-Socialism that seeks to sow anarchy. It has nothing to do with the plight of Palestinians directly--they're just the cover cause. Luigi Mangione and this guy are cut from the same cloth.


Ngl, you sound as nutty as the kooks who love Luigi. Two sides of the same nutty coin.

Trump couldn't wait to play the antisemitism card (from Truth Social)::

These horrible D.C. killings, based obviously on antisemitism, must end, NOW! Hatred and Radicalism have no place in the USA. Condolences to the families of the victims. So sad that such things as this can happen! God Bless You ALL!


"Hatred and Radicalism have no place in the USA." He says this without a trace of irony.

I remember people predicting things were going to start spiraling out of control by the summertime and it seems about accurate.

This.

Assassinating people in the street is horrifying.

Kidnapping and murdering civilians at a music festival and elsewhere is horrifying.

Relentlessly bombing and starving thousands of civilians over months is horrifying.

Confining thousands and thousands of civilians to live in an ever-shrinking, squalid refugee camp for decades is horrifying.

All of these things can be -- and are -- true at the same time, and the horrors are directly related.

With its immense power, Israel could have and could adopt a strategy to stop the madness and has chosen not too.


Where is Egypt and why are non-Arabs pouring money into the region to be used to kill Israelis?

You are right. They don’t exist. And Joe is solid as a rock.

Doesn't matter for whom or if they voted for bc they're a psy-op to cause chaos and unrest. So they're doing their job just fine. But it's easier to call me a nutter than to believe that the Palestinian cause, which so many on this forum use as a source of self-righteousness and sense-making in an increasingly insane world, has been co-opted to destroy our country from within.

The Israel-Palestine fight is being used by foreign governments to convince Americans to elect blood thirsty and corrupt extremists to office. The end.
