An official in Lebanon says a man with a rifle who crashed into a large Michigan synagogue in what federal officials are saying was an attack had lost four family members in his native country in an Israeli airstrike last week.
The rhetoric costing lives is part of the intent. As lives are lost and Jewish diaspora feels less and less safe, the incentive to resettle in Israel grows.
I know people, here in Lebanon, with the last name Israel, who are older than the terrorist state.
Maybe more people here would be accepting of Jewish people if the only Jewish people they ever met hadn’t been soldiers at checkpoints in the 1980s pointing guns at their faces.
Who could have foreseen the consequences of associating all Judaism with Isreal?! Maybe our rhetoric is costing innocent lives?
Nah let’s use this as a justification to escalate.

That maybe but they’re fully for Israel to the point of doing hasbara for them, and proudly using pragerU videos to do it.

Right right. And sometimes we change names of things because the state of the world is different than it was. Or we don’t.
Stop being so antisemitic!!!
