He had connections to the terrorist group Hezbollah

Yeah, and the Arabic days of the week are named after Hamas, and toddlers are paid fighting members. And terrorists raid police stations first so they can reuse the same knives used in prior attack.
No one believes Israel anymore. They’ve been proven to kill first and forge evidence later, or just blatantly make unsubstantiated claims. Even pro-Israelis don’t believe Israel — they’re firmly operating in a post-truth environment and the importance is rhetoric.
Edit: the other poster below thinks the concept of blowback is antisemitic.

Lol. Nice try. He had confirmed Hezbollah terrorist connections. But none of that really matters when you're trying to shoot up a kindergarten in a synagogue. You get the terror designation all on your own, if you like.

What sources other than Israel? You’re telling us that we’re supposed to believe the same people who tried to pass off days of the week as a list of terrorists.
But yeah, bombing people radicalizes people. Now the chickens are coming home to roost.
Israel and the US are more deeply entrenching ourselves into a conflict that is only going to beget more violence and bombing.
We have never successfully bombed out way out of a conflict since WW2. And that required a nuclear weapon and the complete devastation of Europe, both of which ought to be intolerable.
But if you want to bomb more kids, keep justifying bombing kids.
“But those kids were hezbollah!”

"Home to roost" (at a kindergarten synagogue) - Wait, tell me more about how anti zionism isn't the same as antisemitism.

Google:
> "Come home to roost" (often "chickens come home to roost") means that negative consequences, mistakes, or bad actions from the past eventually return to cause problems for the person responsible.
Bombing people radicalizes family members of those people. Some of those people will be in the US. Some of them will lash out by attacking innocent people.
But now you’re calling natural consequences antisemitic.
If you want to stop the conflict, stop bombing civilians en masse.
(But Israel doesn’t want to stop the conflict — they want continued rational for continuously encroaching on their neighbors’s land. They need to create the next generation of terrorists. Just like they funded Hamas once the PLO renounced violent resistance and started gaining legitimacy in the eyes of the west).

>Bombing people radicalizes family members of those people.
Do you not think the same principals apply to innocent american jewish kids at a preschool? You don't think they'll be traumatized for life becuase of this?

I agree — victims of these attacks, and even attempted and failed attacks, will incur trauma. It’s a tragedy.
Nothing I said suggests otherwise.
I don’t know why you people have such a problem with the concept that “bombing people en masse is bad.”

You are "accidentally" conflating antisemitism with anti zionism. Most people on your team try real hard to avoid letting this conflatelion slip out the bag, but you're letting it slip buddy.

I never did that. I never discussed Zionism or antisemitism. You did try to accuse me of antisemitism because I implied antisemitic attacks will be a natural consequence of bombing people en masse.
I never said this attack was rational nor justified. Only that the dude ended up radicalized.
You don’t give a shit about honest discussion, just accuse anything you don’t like of antisemitism. You’re weaponizing antisemitism, and it’s dishonest and minimizes the impact of the concept, helping actual antisemites dismiss the seriousness of the accusation.

"antisemitic attacks will be natural" dude, are you even listening to yourself?

Natural doesn’t mean justified.
Hate tends to bring the worst out of people, and killing people’s family tends to create hate. It’s a tale as old as humanity.

They found his dead body inside the car that rammed the synagogue and he's still a "suspect?"
I'm no Inspector Clouseau but I've got a strong hunch that this is their guy.

Because this is the convention of how journalists report on crimes and they assume if you're smart enough to read you're smart enough jump that 1mm reasoning gap on your own.

Not just the media but law enforcement doesn’t do it either until they have it cemented as much as possible so they don’t catch a civil suit from any family members.

“Does your dog bite?”
“No”
(Dog bites)
“I thought you said that your dog does not bite!”
“That is not my dog.”

“No. People give the *monkey* the money”
It is the same thing
“Not at all. He doesn’t tell me what to play, I don’t tell him what to do with his money. He’s not my monkey. He just showed up one day…”
The beggar was the look out
“How can a blind man be a look out?”
How can an idiot be a policeman?
“It’s quite easy, all you have to do is apply…”

An entire summer of every kid in my neighborhood saying “Does your dog bite?" in the most tortured French accent ever uttered but we all cracked up every time - especially when it was totally out of left field. I'm smiling as I remember those days.
