1. El Ataque y la Cuestión del Antisemitismo.
Tras un tiroteo en un evento judío, surge un intenso debate sobre si el ataque fue motivado por antisemitismo o por posturas anti-sionistas, generando diversas opiniones y análisis.
- The shooter targeted a *jewish* event, likely as a result of the insistence on equating anti-zionism and anti-israel actions with antisemitism/anti-jewish actions two things can be true at the same time israel is carrying out a genocide and people thinking all jews support israel endangers us all.
- Attacking and murdering random jews is antisemitism. As you know. Ask yourself why you want to excuse that.
- This double murder is real antisemitism in action. Please don't confuse it with the weaponized charge of antisemitism used by aipac types to censor discussion of the gaza atrocities. All decent people should condemn the killing of these innocent people by a terrorist.
2. Anti-sionismo vs. Antisemitismo: Una Delgada Línea.
Muchos argumentan que criticar las políticas del gobierno israelí no es intrínsecamente antisemita, mientras que otros sostienen que atacar a personas judías por su conexión con Israel sí lo es.
- While we can all agree anti zionism isn’t antisemitism, this was an attack that killed two jews because they were jews.
- This is not antisemitism. This is anti zionism. These were israeli government workers. Israel has a long history of extrajudicial killings of people it did not like. The only difference is that those murders were sanctioned by the government of israel, and these were by an individual.
- 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.
3. La Motivación del Atacante y la Identidad de las Víctimas.
La discusión se centra en si el atacante actuó por odio hacia los judíos en general o si su objetivo eran representantes del gobierno israelí, complicando aún más la definición del acto.
- Do we know if the attack was motivated by hostility toward jews? the attack's reprehensible either way, but let's not conflate support for palestine with antisemitism. You can support freedom for palestine without being an antisemite.
- He killed two people he believed were jewish. The same hateful logic drives violence against those who are jewish and those presumed to be. Whether or not the victims were actually jewish is irrelevant—this is antisemitism, plain and simple.
- They were targeted for being israeli government agents, not for being jewish framing this as antisemitism is dangerous and wrong.
4. El Uso Político del Término "Antisemitismo".
Se critica el uso del término "antisemitismo" como arma para silenciar las críticas a Israel, mientras que otros insisten en que minimizar el antisemitismo es una forma de negación.
- The shooter was radicalized by the genocide in gaza, it has nothing to do with the jewish religion. Calling it antisemitism is what zionists do because they use antisemitism as a shield against criticism of israel’s genocide.
- The shooting down of embassy staff was plainly political and not antisemitic. You're weaponizing antisemitism to deny the effects of israeli crimes - which includes an increase in violence against jews - your behaviour is causing this. The man published a manifesto - we know exactly why he did it.
- Invoking palestine while attacking jewish people solely for their identity is textbook antisemitism. These innocent people including a holocaust survivor were targeted for no other reason than their jewish heritage. This terrorist attack does nothing to benefit palestine. This was just pure hate.
