@EricMGarcia Would it be any different if they slaughtered Likud party members and their kids? Does the fact that a Jewish woman was a peace activist make it any worse than if she was apolitical or even conservative Jew?
@HistoryBoomer These aren't regular Israeli citizens. The young women are on temporary leave from the army, probably for a day, and they are carrying their army issued military weapons. The argument for or against open carry of civilian weapons in the USA doesn't apply in this case.
@shadihamid@DamonLinker All it took for the @washingtonpost editorial board to embrace college neutrality was the demand for colleges to condemn Hamas burning Jewish kids alive. Suddenly silence is not violence, but the requirement for those universities. Disgusting.
@thehowie There is context. Antisemitism is one of the very few tolerated widely spread prejudices left of center. If the poor kid was black or Muslim, it would be the front page of every large media outlets and law enforcement would be investigating
@EricLevitz@ingelramdecoucy@EricLevitz the Europeans and Canadians have very different views on hate speech than us. And I read that Kisin take as more about immigration and not freedom of speech
@Yair_Rosenberg I disagree, I think it's much more about the identity of the perpetrator for those folks who went from silence is violence to supporting or refusing to outright condemn Hamas. If such massacre was done by typical Western right wingers the same crowd would condemn
