He’s a politician who happens to be Jewish, let’s not start putting labels on it before it gets sorted out. Otherwise fingers get pointed at the wrong people.

Antisemites are never the wrong people to point fingers at.

During Passover, of course it was. The weak-ass excuse that the mother of a 38 year old is using is he’s mentally ill and off his meds. This fire took planning, if he’s competent enough to obtain and deploy an incendiary device in a secure location, he’s competent enough to go to jail.

Out of all the Dems on the list, he would not be one of the first to attack, but he’s Jewish. Starting to think modern assassins suck compared to the old guys.

He also said he wanted to hurt Shapiro with a hammer. I think this is 50/50 a copy cat attack of Pelosi’s husband (some MAGA style hate) and a hate crime against Shapiro. The timing is too damning to say it wasn’t.

What was originally reported as arson turned out to be a fire bombing. Look at the Haggadah burned, the plates destroyed, the room targeted and tell me it's because he's a politician who happens to be Jewish. No he's the Governor of the state of PA.

beege4.bsky.social•1 day ago

Presumably the second Seder would have been conducted in that same room tonight.

foxhallmanor.bsky.social•1 day ago

Any incentive to waiting for more facts, a bit, before being 1,000 percent certain? 90%, sure, but there are a lot of crazies, with a lot of motivations ...

rebcoco.bsky.social•1 day ago

Oh look, here’s the antisemitism everybody’s been pretending to look for 😑

jshayneo.bsky.social•1 day ago

I don't agree. They hate Democrats much more than Jews.

kinniska.bsky.social•1 day ago

It is highly improbable that it wasn’t a factor. Hoping it wasn’t? Is just making excuses or something. Honestly.

Those photos of the damage show how close it was. Yikes.

sonjial.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes. It’s gross. Thank you you for words I couldn’t find.

rezwidow.bsky.social•1 day ago

It could also be that he's a Democrat. Look at how many politicians who have been targeted since, say 2019, most to almost all have been Democrats. But I wouldn't take antisemitism out of the running

ubahrubatuba.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'm just glad the guy who did it wasn't a Muslim. We got enough problems with rampant and publicly approved Islamophobia, don't need to add fuel.

americangrlrefug.bsky.social•1 day ago

It’s all of the above, not just antisemitism. American Christian Zionists on the right are antisemitic.

jjdianem.bsky.social•1 day ago

It’s Passover, it’s definitely a Jewish hate crime.

raymbo.bsky.social•1 day ago

I think the magic combo is Democrat/Jew. In some MAGA eyes, that’s the mark of Cain.

fsm-999.bsky.social•1 day ago

He was targeted for being both Jewish and a Democrat. The KKK is alive and well in the MAGA GQP led by Der Orange Fuhrer.

democratcats.bsky.social•1 day ago

So why, if Trump is so pro-Israel, has he not weighed in on this? Does being a Dem trump being a Jew in terms of demonstrating empathy?

washingtonwillies.bsky.social•1 day ago

And at Passover.

bettyhumpter25.bsky.social•1 day ago

Shapiro posted on social media about the Seder right before the firebombing.

Let’s see how committed Dictator Depends is on his “war” against antisemitism.

givedogsthevote.bsky.social•1 day ago

Cld be someone really pissed at the govt in general, and this was the highest, yet most accessible govt that could be punished. Cld be someone off their rocker. Cld be a hate crime. Cld be someone careless with an unintentional incendiary. Regardless, I hope the why is taken as srsly as the who.

paganforge.bsky.social•1 day ago

Given the timing of the attack I agree 100%.

jantessier.bsky.social•1 day ago

I agree, Charlotte. This was antisemitism and MAGA hatred.

afib.bsky.social•1 day ago

What's truly disappointing is that Pete Buttigieg didn't call it by its name either.

jhillmurphy.bsky.social•1 day ago

It happened on Passover! It had to be.

feemus.bsky.social•1 day ago

It could be a Pennsylvanian who disagrees with his choice of cheese on his hoagies, but Charlotte is right. Stochastic anti-Semitic terrorism is unleashed.

aquariusinaz.bsky.social•1 day ago

I doubt an attack on a Jewish governor on the first night of Passover was a random attack. 🤔

ethicsshouldmatter.bsky.social•1 day ago

Either way, it’s is a heinous crime against Gov Shapiro and his family. There are other crimes as well. It is also a crime against the citizens of Pennsylvania who have had the state residence of their governor, built, paid for and maintained by their tax dollars significantly destroyed.

dghacket.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes, but its not like he's criticizing Bibi

cscnme.bsky.social•1 day ago

The guy they allege did this hates pretty much everyone (going by hisnsoxiao media posts), so that tracks

djarred.bsky.social•1 day ago

There is an anti-Hispanic, anti-Asian, anti-negro, anti-xxxx problem in this country. But for some reason Antisemitism seems to be the only thing that really matters these days.

rose-and-wing.bsky.social•1 day ago

Who's being accused of being antisemitic and deported these days?

Muslims.

llamswerdna.bsky.social•1 day ago

Remember, it's only antisemitism if it comes from the antisemite region of Austria... 🙄

thegaylescale.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yeah? Think about it. Then think about what you wrote again.

elbowroomier.bsky.social•1 day ago

Adding that trump hasn’t bothered to utter anything about it underscores what he, his admin, and republicans think.

safetypup.bsky.social•1 day ago

I hate to disagree with you but I don’t think it was anti-semitism. This guy was pissed because his property got auctioned off for nonpayment by the government. Plus, he hated Dems.

marisavines.bsky.social•1 day ago

Absolutely!

joellava.bsky.social•1 day ago

Unfortunately this kind of anti semitism does nothing to assist in Trump's authoritarian takeover of the country
