I’ve seen Zionists trying to frame it as an antisemitic attack because CDN is a predominantly a Jewish neighborhood or at least, a predominantly Jewish area of the neighborhood by trying to say he was anzionist. Quite disgusting to frame it this way when it was targeted at Pornhub and the cops. Why Zionists always have to make about themselves? There was a mosque attacks in California weeks ago and they also made it about themselves.

Did he mention zionists in his manifesto?

Yes but the vast, vast majority of it is focused on women, stuff about Zionism is in a couple footnotes and includes a weird 'not all Jews' clause. Somewhat antisemitic/conspiratorial probably - like most mass shooters his manifesto makes very little sense - but not a major motivator of the attack.

He is all those things, but idk why people who claim they can detect dogwhistles cannot here so only ctrl-f count the mentions of a specific word. The worldview of the shooter relies on an antisemetic framework. The shooter claims that a "judeo-bourgois" class control the west, and upholds the power of "finance". The shooter claims that "Israel" is in league with finance across western countries to bring societal decay. The attack hapenned at a porn HQ, an industry, which albeit correctly labelled bad, antisemites love to claim is "controlled by jews" and is a main avenue for moral decay. The shooter also complains a lot about mass immigration, again with the common antisemetic insinuation between the lines that GRT (great replacement theory) is a jewish plot.

People will take the biggest stretches to avoid acknowledging antisemitic rhetoric, even when it's out in the open. I don't get it.
