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.”
Sincerely, what else could be meant by what they said?
When a child is murdered in Gaza those advocating for Palestinians point to it as a reason to end the bloodshed. Hundreds of children were murdered by Israel just this week. No one in the media has spoken there names or talked about their hopes and dreams.
When an Israeli diplomat is murdered those advocating for Israel use it as a reason why they need to continue to murder said children. The diplomat is treated like a human. Their names are known. The media tells us the sad story of their hopes and dreams that were stolen from them.
Palestinians are not treated as humans. Their deaths are statistics. Israeli deaths are treated as tragedies.
It’s a reason why this genocide continues. You have to dehumanize a population to the masses. And Israeli has succeeded in dehumanizing Palestinians, at least to the Western world.
The deaths of their own diplomats are simply tools to continue to justify their genocide. They don’t care about their diplomats anymore than they do their hostages in Gaza.
Sorry. I’ve been advocating for Palestine since I first learned about the conflict truly as a young kid in 2015: as an ignorant college kid that visited my first major city of Chicago on an internship. Spoke with a Palestinian women and gave her a nod and an “ok” as she desperately tried to connect with me on what was being done to her family. She is was just holding a sign alone as I passed through the city. I was an ignorant idiot then. But even though I treated her like a random panhandler, what she said still stuck.
I’ll never know exactly what she said to me. But I know it’s when I started to care. I have definitely become cynical and frustrated, and tired since that time. But, I do really appreciate your reply.
I just only hope my own frustration or “snark” is heard in the same way.
If you think this is tragic, wait til you hear about the 2 million people starving to death in Gaza!
Sorry. Not sure what you mean by this, can you break it down for me?
It means who gives a fuck if two random Germans died in 1941. Focus on the concentration camps instead.

Oh, well when you take away the snark its actually a powerful message. Thanks!
