Intifada Globalized Again
A double murder in Washington, DC lets the usual suspects remind us who they really are.
Amongst the commentary regarding last night’s terror attack in Washington, DC, I think this might be the most important - and overlooked - point: did the shooter, Elias Rodriguez, even know the people he shot were Israeli embassy staffers, or did he just happen to be planning a shooting at the Jewish Museum?
As we learn more about Rodriguez and his planning, it may turn out that he was targeting his victims and/or definitively confirmed that they were not just Jews but Jews working for the Jewish state, which according to watermelon Twitter made them valid targets.
What watermelon Twitter states in public, at least.
But it’s also possible he believed what most of his colleagues believe privately, drew no distinction between “Israelis” or “Zionists” and just plain Jews, and acted accordingly.
Hey, sometimes the mask slips entirely:
The real “tell” in this video isn’t that the guy (a university professor, because of fucking course he’s a university professor) came right out and said it .
It’s that the audience applauded.
For the sake of my mental health I haven’t spent too much time examining the fever swamps of social media to view the very-online-left reaction, but I’ve seen enough to detect a divide between those expressing shock and outrage that someone actually took their “by any means necessary” rhetoric seriously, and those who are honest enough to openly celebrate the attack.
I’ve also seen a lot of overlap between both of these groups and those who insist it was a false flag operation by Israel because you know how cunning and devious ((these people)) are. But it was still good though.
I’m not so sure about Shields, whose career as an MMA fighter involves him being repeatedly kicked in the head, actually knows he’s contradicting himself.
But most of them do. This isn’t about Gaza or the Palestinians or what’s happening halfway around the world.
This is about targeting Jews here. And when they aren’t physically attacking them, they’re deliberately trying to frustrate and upset them with patently dishonest and internally contradictory “arguments” in the expectation that their opponents are trying to counter them in good faith.
As the saying goes, the antisemite does not accuse the Jew of stealing because he really believes it. He does so because it’s so much fun watching the Jew turn out his pockets to prove his innocence.
