Jews in Washington voice their sorrow, fear and anger after deadly shooting

[Mosby]

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP)

Mourners trickled past the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC, on Thursday, a day after an attacker shot dead two Israeli embassy staffers outside the building the night before. Some knelt at the scene with bouquets, others wrote notes to the victims in Hebrew and English, and a handful waved Israeli flags at an impromptu gathering across the street.

The mourners were Jews and Christians from the city and the surrounding area. Several had driven up to an hour to visit the scene and pay their respects to the dead. Others were seeking community and an outlet for a feeling of helplessness.

Jim Rose, from the nearby suburb of Great Falls, Virginia, said he had felt compelled to visit the scene because he is a part of the local Jewish community.

“To me, it was just a matter of time before something like this happened in our community,” he said. “I’m just frustrated that more wasn’t done to prevent this.”

“You could just see it building, just with the rhetoric and what is allowed in protests,” he said. “The anger and the frustration is at those people in authority who either shrug this off or rationalize it, or compartmentalize it. I would like to see each and every one of them do more or step down and let somebody else do the job.”

1. No coincidence

That the murder happened in the direct shadow of the fake story of the 14,000 children being starved to death. The killer deserves to be executed, for sure. But it is the media and the propaganda creation that traumatized the world, and the echos of the trauma continued even after the story was shown to be a lie.

Of course people believed it. That is why I will use antisemitism as the reason. Anything bad about Israel or Jews is instantly believed. Anything that negates such propaganda is simply seen as Zionist propaganda. Never mind that the true meaning of Zionism is not known and is wildly distorted.

Truly, yetzer hara has permeated this world.
