I mean yes, it just happened. A pro Palestinian rioter killed Jewish Americans on the sidewalk. This is the thread you’re in |
It was a shooting on the streets of DC. Horrible. And horribly common. Was it a mob? No. |
And diplomats. It's hard to take a country seriously that can't protect diplomats. |
100%. The poor Palestinian kid who was murdered in Chicago shortly after 10/7 got tons of national press (deservedly so). Political violence in the US will always gather more attention than overseas conflicts, especially where the US is not directly involved. |
Are you aware of how many US diplomats have died in other countries? The number is not small. |
Probably not. Nor did they care when multiple American citizens were killed in Israel by the IDF. |
Not PP but I think his/her point is that the number of foreign diplomats who have died here is small. |
We actually have a test case for this and don't have to engage in hypotheticals. Google "Hisham Awartani, Kinnan Abdalhamid, and Tahseen Ahmed" and compare the reaction. |
No one really cared when this happened because it couldn't be used for politics agendas. Israeli shoots "Palestinian" tourists https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/17/miami-shooting-israeli-men |
That story just seems super weird. For one, no one died, thankfully. But also, the shooter claimed he killed the victims (he didn’t), everyone involved was Jewish, and the victims posted wild Islamophobic remarks afterwards, apparently incorrectly thinking the shooter was attacking them for being Jewish. I also don’t really care about the outcome of a convoluted situation like that; everyone involved appears to be deranged, though I’m glad no one was killed. |
