The man charged with fatally shooting two staff members of the Israeli Embassy in D.C. told police after his arrest, “I did it for Palestine, I did it for Gaza.”
Shooting two Jewish rando’s in the US will accomplish nothing for Gaza. It casts Palestinians in a negative light, bolsters Israeli propaganda and distracts Americans from Gaza’s plight.
Were they shot because they were Jewish, or because they were Israeli? There is a difference, but equating the two as the same thing is part of why Israel is getting away with genocide.
I completely agree that killing them achieves nothing for Palestine. I also think killing them, even if it could is abhorrent as they are not combatants.
Sure, but there are also degrees of involvement. I think Netanyahu is even worse than those on his right that are so hateful racist. They are clearly awful. However, he seems to be committing genocide purely to save his kin from political machinations. Just doesn’t care about human life one bit.
The degree of involvement of a non combatant is effective only in the public understanding of that position.
Luigi as an example. The public clearly understands that material impact even though that CEO isn’t directly killing people. We all know why he did it.
Anyone taking action “politically” and not just “emotionally” would understand this. I don’t advocate for vigilante justice. But I will make a judgement on when it’s done.
Luigi shifted public opinion in favor of his cause. This killing is only hurtful to the cause. There is no positive shift here. Especially in the positions and power of the targets.
All we can do now, is push back in the disgusting use of pro Israel people that are salivating at this incident in order to further justify starving Gaza.
I bet the administration will label it far left terrorism and will use it to stamp out opposition. The shooter’s loose connection to Democratic Socialist party will be a propaganda piece to label all democrats terrorists.

Netanyahu isn’t a combatant, would you be offended if someone was to target him?
Not every target has to be a “combatant” to be involved in killing you.

When you phrase it like that it sounds like Netanyahu planned it 🥲
