Exactly, with no mention of the fact that Hamas started this war on October 7 2023. Why isn't Israel allowed to defend themselves, just like any other country would do after being attacked by a neighboring nation?
If you wade through the sewage in this screed, you'll find talking points used by Palestinian activists including more than a few members of Congress. You'll hear variations on the murder's words echoed by leftist professors at major universities, and by a majority of our legacy news media. And you'll listen as student protesters (who the NYT tells us are "mostly peaceful"), the Palestinian's useful idiots, parrot their pyramid of lies. The left has allied itself with a culture of death and hate. The road ahead is dark.
Is he being tried in a jurisdiction where he can choose his form of execution like in Sl Carolina, e.g., medication, electric chair, or firing squad? Hopefully the latter. Worked for Mussolini.
I don't know how the perp would have known the Embassy connection since they were quite junior. The point was to kill Jews, any Jews. So the motivation was anti-Semitic, not anti Israel.
The blood of the martyrs who were victims of this madmen is on the murderous hands of Hamas and their Iranian puppetmasters who promulgate the propaganda he regurgitates, and the “progressives” who echo it, falsely labeling what is perhaps the most justified military action in history as “genocide”, the cruelest and most ironic slander and libel in history.
In a moral, decent world, this tragedy would be cause for pause on the part of the evil supporters of Hamas. But because of their depravity, they will lionize him into a hero as they did the assassin Mangione.
Hopefully, the result of this travesty will be the opposite of the perpetrator’s intent. Hopefully, it will strengthen the President’s resolve to crush the enemies of Israel here at home and abroad by any means necessary.
You are absolutely correct when you say this hatred comes from the devil. The bible recounts such evil in the book of Job, where Job befalls misfortune after misfortune and his friends try to rationalize these calamities, but we know it is the devil and there is no rational explanation. The story of Job is the story of the Jew in this world. People may attempt to rationalize the hatred and bias, but as with Job, it comes from the devil who plants evil in the minds of people and nations. As Hashem would not allow the devil to destroy Job, so too the Lord will not allow the destruction of Jews as a people. And as with Job, the day will come when Hashem will restore the Jews as a people.
Agree they are for all people, and all can learn from the bible, though clearly many elements pertain specifically to the history of the Jewish people. Exodus describes the many years of slavery suffered by the Jews in Egypt, and clearly non Jewish black slaves drew strength and identified with the Book of Exodus. It is important to note cautions and guidance derived from biblical studies, as well as love of the Lord and Hashem's love for his entire creation. Genesis 12:3
The five books of the Pentateuch (hey, that’s five!) and much else in the pre-Gospel Bible no doubt present the history of Jews and Judaism. My cavil with your comment arose because the story of Job is a timeless myth and, truth be told, I am weary of cultural / religious claiming. So that’s me.
In my mind it never occurred to me, no matter how many times I have revisited the story, that Job was a Jew or was of any religious identity. He was given to talking directly to God and telling the truth, which God indicated was preferable to some of the nonsense He otherwise listens to. That would make Job a little unorthodox. :)
It is a great story, in the sense that it captures so many themes of lives and of our relationship with God. However, if anyone can figure out what prompted God to commend Job to the devil, it would be great to learn. (I have theories and so do thousands of others, but still….)
Appreciate your comment and perhaps my comment could have been clearer. I didn't say Job was a Jew nor did I mean to imply he was a Jew, I agree with your comment about Job. I said "the story of Job is the story of the Jew in this world." By that, I meant that as with Job, his calamities and misfortune were caused by the devil, not by any wrong actions for which he was responsible. Yet despite his misfortunes he retained his faith in Hashem. This is the story of the Jew. Despite their misfortunes and calamities throughout history, for which they bear no fault or responsibility, as a people they have retained faith in the Lord. Job's friends attempt to rationalize his misfortunes and assign fault, as do many well meaning and not so well meaning folk, when it comes to the Jew. But as with Job, we know he is faultless, it is all the doings of the devil. How do we know this? The bible tells us so.
Thank God there are people like you with the clear vision to really see what is happening here. Yet another assault on God’s Own People. However now he is actively on their s’aide!
Remember that time in Miami Beach when one Jewish man shot two other Jewish men while shouting “Death to Palestinians!” – can’t blame him, he actually thought the men he shot were Palestinian, so it was all fair.
Don’t remember anyone calling it anti-Palestinian or anything.
"A perpetrator may then be a loving parent, a filial child, a generous and charitable friend, an amiable stranger, capable of moral strength at times when it suits him and sometimes even when it does not, and yet be a monster all the same."
Interesting that he doesn't seem to realize that he's describing himself here.
I am just wondering watching the news everyday from South Africa, channel hopping between ENews (South African), Sky and BBC, CNN, Euro News and Al Jazeira, why all the attention is on the death toll and violence in Gaza, but nothing is aimed at Hamas still hiding in hospitals, and still clinging onto the poor hostages or their dead bodies. It is the Terrorist group causing all this but they cannot just withdraw and say to here and no further: we withdraw, we cannot let more civilians die because of us - we admit defeat and will leave the Palestinians in peace to arise out of the rubble. No - cowards and psychopaths to the end. What is wrong with the world that they don't focus on that?
Reads like so much of the nonsense trumpeted by the "anti-Zionist" protestors, and , not surprisingly, members of our government and media elite.

It's a double standard.

This murderer is a poster boy for the death penalty. Strap him down and plug him in.
Is he being tried in a jurisdiction where he can choose his form of execution like in Sl Carolina, e.g., medication, electric chair, or firing squad? Hopefully the latter. Worked for Mussolini.
I don't know how the perp would have known the Embassy connection since they were quite junior. The point was to kill Jews, any Jews. So the motivation was anti-Semitic, not anti Israel.
He is clearly not insane. Death penalty.
Thank you for sharing the manifesto. I suspect I wouldn't have seen it elsewhere.
Yeah, it's not being printed in the news.

Guy doesn't even know enough history to note that McNamara was secretary of defense, not state.

I don’t want to read his manifesto. It will only further upset me.
Thank you for posting the pictures of the beautiful people who were murdered on October 7.
I am not Jewish.
I do not understand this hate, except that it comes from the devil.
You are absolutely correct when you say this hatred comes from the devil.

As Hashem would not allow the devil to destroy Job, so too the Lord will not allow the destruction of Jews as a people. And as with Job, the day will come when Hashem will restore the Jews as a people.
I tend to think that the parables and stories in the Bible are for all people.

You don't cite a source.
I read this manifesto on Ken Klippenstein's Substack, here:
https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/the-israel-embassy-shooter-manifesto
If you got it from him, you should cite him as a source - that's considered basic etiquette.
If not, you should cite your source.

FYI, Robert McNamara was never Secretary of State; that was Dean Rusk. McNamara was the Secretary of Defense.
