When people responded to #blacklivesmatter by saying #alllivesmatter this was understood to be minimization and trivialization. When people say #neveragain to anyone, it's the same fucking thing.
And the Mangione thing? Patently idiotic. The dead CEO will be replaced by someone with the same incentives. How incredible that he died and nothing has changed for the better, I've not been this surprised since I got out in the rain and got wet.
Antisemitism is a symptom of a society in which human life and liberty are in the process of being devalued. And the attempt to make Zionists afraid only makes them more Zionist.
So much for the downplaying of concern over left antisemitism, unlike right antisemitism, as "non-violent". Cheerlead for Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, etc., long enough,, then don't be surprised if you find yourself ok with violent, lethal antisemitism, whoever is the perp.
In his early 2000s book, "Terror and Liberalism" Paul L. Berman pointed out three common characteristics of far left and far right ideology: utopian, authoritarian and nihilistic
Waiting to see when the DSA-aligned members of US Congress distance themselves from the DSA and Elias Rodrigues's "globalizing the Intifada" against random people attending an American Joint Committee event hosted at a Jewish museum in DC, but not holding my breath.
They weren't Messianic Jews. He was gentile with a Jewish father and raised as a Christian. She was Jewish. I have not heard from any other source that she had become any kind of a Christian.
There are accounts that mention that Yaron (but not Sarah) was a Messianic Jew, and there are also accounts that describe him as having grown up a Christian. In either case, his beliefs show that Israel embraces diversity.
Being a so-called "Messianic Jew" does not require being Jewish - only holding certain beliefs that Jesus is the Messiah while following practices that are outwardly Jewish, and believing that Jews must convert to belief in Jesus.
Religiously he is not Jewish. Under Israeli law he would be considered Jewish and eligible for aliyah. He wasn't raised in that Messianic Jews for Jesush Church. He was raised as a traditional Christian in Israel. She was from a reform Jewish background but was fully Jewish. It sounds to me like they were trying to find common ground religiously and were checking out a Messianic Church. There is no indication that either were committed to this cult.
The fact remains, the shooter *thought* they were Jewish. He didn't do his research, he just thought they were ethnically Jewish and that's enough. Having Jewish blood is always enough to get you killed.
I believe that you have misunderstood the Kyle Rittenhouse case - the people he killed had tried to kill him, and he was defending himself. One could certainly argue that his attempt to defend their targets was poorly considered, and that he would not have been attacked if he had stayed away, but self-defense is not murder.
The “Make Zionists Afraid” is simply a war declaration. We must hit them hard, for they will be merciless in their anti-Western crusade.

A sad state of affairs, Pat!
Horrifying...

He isn't Jewish so how can he be a messianic Jew?

It has been reported that he had a Jewish father and Christian mother. This article describes him as Jewish:

I am not sure about the nuances of his religious beliefs--but both of them loved Israel.
That is true without question.

No argument there.
It seems to depend whom you ask, and about whom.

Not true. And he had no right dragging a gun in to deliberately attack ppl.
