Well, since most of the horrible things happening in this country right now are Donald Trump's fault or at least attributable to his actions, it will not be hard. We shall see.

I get it. You will all have to wait for the Media Matters narrative to get posted before you have any ideas of your own. That makes sense. In all cases where there is a potential for a negative story concerning left wing ideology to come out it's best practice to wait until a cohesive anti-Trump narrative can be formulated by the best and brrightest the Democrats have to offer.

Spoiler alert, the phrase "Free Palestine" is part of the report.

I have not read a single Media Matters article in...five years? Maybe? When I was conservative, I did not read it because it was liberal propaganda. Now that I have become a progressive, I do not read it because it is, well, liberal propaganda and I am a progressive populist. In case you have not noticed by my writing, I despise the Democrats, despite having voted for them the first time in 2024. I have come to truly despise them even more seeing their actions post-election loss. But I despise them because I want them to be better. I want the grip of corporate power over the party to be shattered, and for the Democratic Party to go back to its roots that made it the dominant political party for the first half of the Twentieth Century by becoming a progressive party once again, like they were under FDR and Truman.

I do not doubt that. I have little doubt that this murder will be used as the Trump Admin's Reichstag Fire moment to crack down on anti-genocide protests, or the like.
 
They've been marching around calling for violence against Jews since the day after Oct 7th. Tragic but unsurprising that someone finally did it like this :(.

Who has been "marching around calling for violence against Jews"?

There have been protests against the Israeli Government's mistreatment of Palestinians. But calls for violence against Jews? Be specific. Provide details.

Not good. :(

...The victims were "a couple about to be engaged," said Israel's ambassador to the U.S., Yechiel Leiter. "The young man purchased a ring this week with the intention of proposing to his girlfriend next week in Jerusalem. They were a beautiful couple who came to enjoy an evening in Washington's cultural center."...

Aw, geeze....

How senseless.

Yep. I fully expect soon anyone who declares what is happening in Gaza a genocide will be considered giving material support to a terrorist cause by the Trump DOJ. Doubtless this will only be applied against American Jewish and Palestinian leftists, Israel critics, pro-Palestinian human rights activists, and anti-Zionists. If one is a white supremacist or an outright neo-Nazi who declares that the United Stated is a Zionist Occupied Government, they will be allowed to continue posting Jewish Question propaganda and disingenuous support of the Palestinians via attacking Israel and Jews as genocidal parasites.

Everyone knows it's Biden's fault.

Why do you always bash Trump instead?

You are no lib-prog, so please stop acting like one.

MAGA.
 
Those who engage in the demonisation of Israel - like several here on DP - should accept some responsibility for these murders but of course they won't. Instead they wil preen and posture in the warm glow of self righteousness.

Why are Israel above criticism even when they commit war crimes?
 
Direct result of the demonization of Israel with the fake accusations of war crimes, starvation, ethnic cleansing, genocide and whatever term these radical individuals who are dominated by hatred for the Jewish state manage to come up with.

Unfortunately it's only the beginning seeing how many evil madmen like the far-left psychopath who committed these murders are waiting to get their chance and how antisemitism became a thing for the far-left as much as it is a thing for the far-right.

May they rest in peace.

Israel is not above criticism but it is the target of absolute lies, demonization and dehumanization of its people all a result of barbaric antisemitism.

Pointing out the great harm the Government of Israel has inflicted on trapped and helpless Palestinians makes no one "responsible" for the murders of Israelis. And, of course, we haven't "preened and postured".

That anyone believes any Government, any modern military, has the right, moral or legal, to bomb, to deprive of medical care, to starve to death civilians, month after month, represents a lack of decency that is beyond my ken.
