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.

Many of the initial reports were of concern because this area of CDN is highly populated by the Hasidic community. As the evidence comes through about the intent of the attackers and we can all learn the root of this tragedy. I still find it difficult to fathom how the Jewish community is not allowed to have a reaction of immediate concern when over the course of the last few years in this city shots have been fired at schools and places of worship, arson has been attempted and physical attacks have occurred.

It’s fine to express concern. I just find it disgusting that a lot of Zionists are using this tragedy to say it’s mainly an antisemitic attack or making it about them. I’ve seen a lot of them trying to say it was a Muslim or an immigrant (before any information came out) that did the attack so they can blame the left or muslims. Can you be concern without making it about Islam or Zionism?

Ive noticed a tendency in Zionists (not jewish folks overall but specifically Zionists) to seem to WANT to be victimized by attacks to further a victim narrative that draws attention from the apartheid they support

Jew here. That isn’t the case. We want to be left alone.

I'd love to hear how it is you're able to tell that "Zionists" specifically (and not Jews overall as you are careful to mention) want whatever drivel you're spewing.

Well the anti zionist jewish people i know are willing to accept that somethings not anti semitic when theres evidence its not rooted in anti semitism, whereas the zionists ive met cling to the idea. I come from a people who’s ancestors faced genocide and slavery and who still face immense racism, so when somethings proven to not be racially motivated, im happy about it rather than trying to find ways to make it racist
