Horrified and heartbroken by the terror attack at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC. Antisemitic hate and violence must have no safe harbor in America. May the memories of those who were senselessly murdered be a blessing.

Oh Andrew - Why do you assume this was "antisemitic?" Surely you realize that the government they represent is lawlessly massacring thousands of Palestinians. Anti Netanyahu does not = antisemitic.
This murder of two people probably was antisemitic, but the slaughter of 60,000 semites in Gaza (inclu 20,000 children) is also racist! The racism in Nethanyahu's cabinet isnt hidden
More importantly we need to ask why the US & UK govts have been complicit in this genocide?
The hypocrisy I am hearing this morning is unreal, is it time for world leaders to come clean and give the value of a human life a scale? Is hate and violence and senseless murder ok in some parts of the world but not others?
Stop using the word anti-semitism. At this point it’s essentially propaganda. These people are at war. Murder is evil, we know. We don’t need to be coached.
Sadly this sort of thing is increasingly likely thanks to the total failure of international law (America/UK) in holding genocidal war criminals accountable.
It seem;..... people have to die & sacrifice their lives to change direction of media & information thereof.. this is major reason this is now happening. US, please WAKE UP!!! #flyinggift #medicaremedicaidbill #timing
When the government refuses to enforce international law it’s the duty of the people to. Your uncritical support for Isreal has forced the hand of those who desperately want justice for the millions of gazans being subjected to genocide
If you spoke up for the Palestinians being senselessly murdered your message might have more traction. I think an attack on a museum is wrong, but bombing hospitals and using famine as a weapon is horrifying.
All a distraction: On the very day China reveals terrorism against its food aid, Israel Shooting at Foreign dignitaries, announced Bombing campaigns for Iran… and this Horrible Trump Bill- we get distracted by a Latino shooter of Jews? Nah man… Nah… False Flag Alert!
Right? They apparently confessed, told them where they dumped the gun, and said free Palestine all back to back? Did this person never hear of the right to remain silent? This stinks of a set up.
Work hard to stop the state of Israel conflating anti Zionism with antisemitism and we may have half a chance at educating the idiots that carried out this attack.
Your lack of empathy is showing.
The killer is responsible for his actions, not Israel.
Nice way to make other people's pain fit your political agenda.
Israel exists, is UN-recognized, and is the historic homeland of the Jewish people. No state has to justify its existence more than others. Criticize policies, sure—but questioning existence often veers into denying a people’s right to self-determination.
If Jewish people are entitled to an independent, nuclear-armed state for the sake of their safety, then where are you going to give the Native Americans land for an independent state?
Jews don't need a state on land stolen by genocide. They need to fit in wherever they are, just like all of us.
It's telling that you people never condemn Hamas for their murders of 1200 Israelis on Oct 7th and their pledge to murder Jews anywhere until there are none left.
Do you feel the pain?
I condemn anyone killing anyone in anything other than immediate self defence. I also particularly dislike references to “you people” as if you can unilaterally group people into some imagined group of your disliking. I can disagree without “othering”. That’s the bollocks that has made this mess.
I can think of no one who would not condemn the attack on Israel by Hamas. No decent person could fail to do so. And when you understand why we (you and I) condemn it, you might finally understand why I condemn Israel's genocide and ethnic cleansing. The reason is the same.
Many Zionists in Israel are actually Americans. Anybody being killed should be condemned Mr Weinstein and Fuzzy, where's your UNIVERSAL condemnation of murder?
You’re cheering the deaths of Americans—WTF is wrong with you, dude? People like you are LITERALLY what’s wrong with humanity. “An eye for an eye” is the stupidest, most illogical way to live.
When you allow the terrorist state of Israel that is committing a genocidal holocaust of their own against the people of Palestine to conflate being Jewish with their reign of terror, there are consequences.
It's probably not anti-semitic. Judging by how pissed off at Israel so much of the World's population is, it's far more likely to be a Luigi moment.
Perhaps reflect on that.
If it makes you heartbroken with the slaughter of two innocent americans, what on earth does hundreds of palestinians killed on a daily basis, in Gaza, do to you?
1200 murdered innocent Israelis, and 60,000 murdered palestinians (inclu 20,000 children) are not equivalent!
It is reported in Israeli papers that the 1200 innocent Israeli people were not all killed by Hammas . Many were killed by heavy artillery, which Hammas dont possess. The Israeli government issued the Hannibal programme against their own citizens sadly . It makes the disproportion even more stark .
Also fun fact Israel fired at diplomats visiting Israel just the other day from various eu nations?
Where is your outrage there? You only see your kind as worthy of having life Andrew. This is why the genocide, ethnic cleansing and occupation in Palestine has been able to continue for 75 years.
Yeah just happened the other day. Israel is giving the world the finger and the world is taking it. What happened to those 2 Israelis in America was awful and a hate crime. But all those upset about it, don’t give a shit about the Palestinians being ethnically cleansed and exterminated.
The way it stands, the ICC is useless.
Bush got away with overthrowing Iraq based on a lie.
If there is a European country interested in stopping Israel, they just need to remember those two facts and take care of business.
Not really, you don’t see Netanyahu travelling anywhere except like Hungary or America. He won’t try anywhere else.
Secondly it’s the ICJ that’s the bigger deal, they’ll rule if Israel committed genocide which this will find them guilty. This will have larger ramifications for Israel and its allies.
Saddam Hussein didn’t leave Iraq, we took him out there. If Israel is going to fire on EU’s diplomats, Netanyahu is opening the door to another country possibly deciding to remove him themselves.
The ICC and ICJ both did nothing about Bush and Cheney. They will do nothing again here.
Hi Andrew how do you feel about the 14,000 Palestinian babies that will starve to death by the end of the week because of Israel’s denial of food and water to a population of 2 million people? Or do their suffering not really register?
Any loss of life, especially those forcefully taken is tragic. Please don’t take this the wrong way, but shouldn’t this be considered anti-Israel not anti-semitic like a white suprematist? He said “free Palestine” which seems clearly aimed at the gov. of Israel not all Jews. Is that wrong?
Youre using slurs to refer to followers and practices of Judaism. Your argument is anti-semetic. Guess what other group in history were hard-core zionists and believed the Jewish people should have a home country to keep them out of everyone elses... the nazis... you speak like one so...
because i’m olds, i instantly recognize when you rehash antisemetic tropes from 30 yrs prior. this one you dusted off was originally from PLO era propaganda.
If you are old, then you should know how Israel came to be. Through the forced expulsion of Palestinians. And they have been colonizing and expanding at the expense of Palestinians ever since.
I need sources, that is justifiably false. Ive read the writings of Adolf Eichmann. Heydrich as well. Politics are always a tool, they are nothing more than that, ever.
Both supported the Zionist plan and the final solution was meant to be encouragement for any remaining Jewish folk in Europe.
Why not let the police do theire work before you try to make propaganda out of it, antisemitic? How do you know... But israel's actions probably has created millions of them...
Still not enough... My friend. And whit everyday it is going to become worse for the Jewish ppl! Its fucking Human Nature you Morons... Stop killing innocent ppl
Killing for a cause is murder. Dr. King did not tolerate people being murdered for the Civil Rights movement. Black people suffered violence and death from the Klan but we prevailed.
I want peace in Gaza. Killing others to promote my position or cause is wrong. It does not bring about peace
actually, without the threat of violence from the Black Panthers and targeted violent disruption, the civil rights movement would have collapsed. Martin Luther King Jr. was a vocal socialist who was assassinated by the FBI, something they freely admit
Your first sentence is not true. The Montgomery Bus Boycott and Pullman Porters Strike set the foundation for the 60s Civil Rights movement well before the Black Panthers were a significant force. All three were nonviolent protests that succeeded.
oh so they enshrined the Civil Rights Act all by themselves? or was violence and the threat thereof obviously required, which no serious historian disagrees with
Not sure what history books you are reading, but not one will say threat of violence was the deciding/underlying factor to pass Civil Rights legislation.
LBJ did not risk his power/the Dems. party's political power because a threat of violence. You want to read Robert Caro to learn more.
"to wipe the Palestinians from the face of this earth" ~ Netanyahu's statement on three separate occasions is a FACT of ZIONIST INTENT TO EXTERMINATE A RACE OF PEOPLE ....
To steal land, Palestine resources, REMOVE PALESTINIAN HISTORY.
Israel's corrupt, far-right religious fundamentalist government has done everything it can to ensure that anti-Semitism is at its highest level worldwide.
Generations of Jews will bear the shame and guilt.
Israel is cursed.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one in America that realizes that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Their citizens do not deserve to be safe on any part of this planet. If you back netanyahu and his regime you deserve what you get. If you are in the Israeli military f*** you.
Furthermore, actions like this have the same impact on the cause for Palestinians, as the genocide of Palestinians is having on the Jewish diaspora which is, allegedly, the cause of this awful murder.
You're the one who wrote "full stop" only a sliver into your comment. Just thought you should know that it would have been a great place to stop. You were right until then.
Same for the tens of thousands of civilians genocided in Gaza by the rogue state of Israel with American bombs and complicity?
Or at least for the many American citizens, aid workers, journalists that Satanyahu murdered with de gusto?
GFY, Zionist.
I agree with this sentiment. However, I can’t help but notice that two Israelis being brutally killed is getting top billing while millions of Palestinians being brutally starved and bombed is a footnote in media coverage. The disparity in coverage is stark to say the least.
Pray for suffering Palestinians, but understand the root causes. Netanyahu has defended Israel against Palestinian terrorists since he was a captain in an elite unit in the 1967 war resulting from Palestinian terrorism.
Anti Zionism and antisemitism are not the same. This guy didn’t shoot two random Jewish people, he shot two employees of the Israeli gov in response to the brutal genocide it has been waging in Gaza. Shooting people isn’t the answer either way, but at least ascribe the proper term and motive.
Sir I support the rights of the Jewish people to live in a self governing state. But I don’t believe that reactions to the Israeli genocide in Gaza constitute antisemitism. The US will upsell this tragedy to downplay the real issues gun violence, war in Gaza, war in Ukraine and trumps insanity.
Religion is never a legit basis for anything other than a personal decision impacting only that person. Plus, the country, if one was created, should have been a chunk of Germany. The Palestinians didn’t deserve to have the land stolen by because of the treatment of Jews by Europeans.
It isn’t a terrorist attack, it’s a standard every day shooting. You should send ‘thoughts and prayers’ like you do for all of those children lost in school shootings. Or better still those that have been lost to a genocide
So when George Floyd was murdered in Minneapolis it wasn’t a racist act at all. Just a standard police killing and we should have worried more about the genocide…(any genocide I guess).
That has no logic and no relevance. Why is killing 2 people a terrorist attack but killing a school full of children or a full nightclub or a church, not a terrorist attack?
Why is the Oklahoma bomber classed as a terrorist?
Didnt hear you call out against the murder of thousands of Palestinians- you know the other semites .
This undermines your claim somewhat . How about being just plain sorry for all deaths.
Very disappointing here to see people excusing violence, any violence against innocents is abhorrent. Violence begets vengence, vengence begets violence. There are no winners.
Sorry you completely misread what I said. I don't know if that was deliberate because you are so wound up. I have worked with Palestinians for decades.
What a fucking broken record.
Same shit spews from all you fucktards—like you're reading cue cards.
We get it: you hate America & Israel.
No, I’m not cheering Bibi’s bombs either.
But acting like you’ve got ancient blood feuds all figured out? Sit the fuck down.
I doubt it was anything to do with their being Jewish. But we should definitely all be just as upset at the killing of two Zionist Israeli apparatchiks as they were at the genocide of hundreds of thousands of innocent Palestinian civilians.
Was it truly antisemitism, or was it anti-genocide? That's a really slippery discussion these days. Whichever was the idea behind it, taking another person's life is always wrong, wrong, WRONG, whether a person in New York, or a child in Gaza.

Not speaking out against the ongoing genocide, it's clear to me who gets the benefit of being human in your eyes and who doesn't.
The killer is responsible for his actions, not Israel.
Nice way to make other people's pain fit your political agenda.
Being anti Jewish safety and self-determination is obviously antisemitic.
Supporting Israel’s existence but being critical of its treatment of Palestinians is not anti-Zionism.
Zionism is racist ethnocultural nationalist movement
It uses judaism hide behind while it commits its atrocities.
It’s a far right extremist ideology.
It does not represent judaism at all.
Zionism is a recent cultural artifact created for the "push" towards a Jewish state.
After the establishment of that "state" .. zionism remained a part of the Jewish lexicon and has been conflated with Judaism.
The word should have died in the 50s.
Now it signifies expansionism and genocide.
Jews don't need a state on land stolen by genocide. They need to fit in wherever they are, just like all of us.
Do you feel the pain?
The violence is lamentable, but those are two different things.
Perhaps reflect on that.
1200 murdered innocent Israelis, and 60,000 murdered palestinians (inclu 20,000 children) are not equivalent!

They want the Diaspora to make aliyah.
I abhor the military junta in Myanmar. Doesn’t make me anti-Buddhist.
This was an appalling attack on diplomatic staff and should be condemned for that.
Zionists needed to excuse their "warning shots".
video shows them shooting at the diplomats
just like video shows them killing the ambulance workers with lights and sirens
they are full of shit
Israel - Terrorist colonizer
Muscovy - Fascist swamp
Myanmar - Hateful regime
Nothing to do with religion or ethnicity.
Fuck off with your bullshit.

More so than the Settlers.

That couple are civilians, same as the babies, women and children in Gaza who are murdered by Israel every day.
There is no safe harbour in Gaza.

You can save your lecture. Am aware of all of it.
As I said to another poster, if you have to kill to justify your cause, you have no cause.
Blowback is unfortunate, but it's very American.

The violence began in 1948 and has escalated ever since.
I am not wound up .. I just finished a 12 hour shift and I have a glass of wine in hand from Palestine.
