I'm sorry but they were not just a man and a woman. They were Israeli government employees and political activists, with a history of spreading anti-Palestinian propaganda.

Which is irrelevant to why they were targeted. They were targeted because they were at an event at a Jewish museum, being put on for Jews. Whether they deserved extrajudicial murder is irrelevant to the question of whether the act was antisemitic, which is what I'm trying to communicate.
Wait, where are you getting that? I've only seen that he approached a group of 4, shot two - all 4 were Israeli diplomats - and then walked into the event. I haven't seen any indication that he knew who they were, even in the 'manifesto' going around.
Right, but the question is whether the shooter specifically targeted them/knew who they were, or if his thought process was 'I should kill people at the Jew event because they'll be Zionists.' I'm assuming he didn't have a like video game overlay that shows everyone's shitty tweets.
That's a lot of assumptions in flagrant disregard of the actual facts.
Personally, I find it to be antisemitic to claim that genocide is a core Jewish value. But genocide is a core component of Zionism, and always has been.
So please ask yourself who has convinced you that Judaism is Zionism.
And you are wrong on that front. They were non-jewish Israeli officials. The man was an evangelical Christian from Germany who volunteered to join the IDF. The event "for jews" was a diplomatic event for a zionist organization. Zionist is not Jewish.
