Thanks Republican party! Your rhetoric, bullshit, and gaslighting of your voters caused this.
Also Fox News.
And to be honest, the problem is much deeper.
America was founded on racism and slavery. The belief that white people are superior to brown and black people sits very deep with many Americans.
The enthouisam of those Americans to see Palestinian children die in Gaza is just vile and disgusting.
I really hope that the more progressive and enlightened Americans can figure out how to get rid of it.

The real irony is many of those same folks are anti-Jewish in nearly every other context.

I thought a lot of this shit was settled already when I was a kid. Turns out it not only wasn't, but we've managed to roll some things backwards since then. I waffle between being sure we've got the critical mass to make lasting change now and beingg sure my great grandkids are going to be fighting and arguing over all these same issues.
As an American Jew, I've almost gotten used to antisemitism from the right. From being told to my face "the only thing Hitler did wrong was not finishing the job" to having public Jewish displays vandalized to literal Nazis marching in the street being referred to as "very fine people."
What has surprised me recently was the number of anti-semitic comments from the left. I'm fine with people criticizing Israel and pushing for better treatment of the Palestinian people. That's not antisemitism and I'd actually agree with them. However, I've seen people on the left celebrating the attack, making fun of babies being killed, and even claiming that an attack on an American temple and bakery are justified because they are "symbols of the Jewish/Zionist state."
I know many on the left aren't anti-semitic, but it just feels so frightening to be targeted from both sides of the aisle - especially for Israel's actions when I, as an American Jew, have zero control over what they do.

Yep. It's not that conservatives give a shit about Jews; they very much don't. What they care about is Israel existing as a precondition for Armageddon so that they can get Raptured. In other words, they're psychopathic doomsday cultists and their support of Israel is purely selfish.

He's 71 and obviously mentally ill. And yes, rightwing stochastic terrorism led him to this path.
Conservatives are so fucking cowardly, they’re afraid of children now? When will that entire party be officially considered a hate group? Because i think now would be a good time.
(Continuing:)
"So you care about people with jobs?"
Conservatives: Hah! Unions shouldn't be legal, workers are lucky to get paid. We should eliminate minimum wage, let the free market decide what you're worth, if anything.
"You support the free market... So you don't mind my selling pride accessories and clothing?"
Conservatives: Pride is pornographic, and endangers children. We need to restore morality and decency in society, keep children safe!
"In that case, you surely condemn child trafficking, abuse and pedophilia?"
Conservatives: hey it's fine for adult men to have relationships with teenage girls, that's when they're most fertile! Plus the Bible has no problems with it.
"The Bible also says to love your neighbor, turn the other cheek."
Conservatives: That's weak minded effeminate liberal nonsense, we should rule with iron fists and show no mercy.
"Are you saying you do know how to rule?"
Conservatives: lol we can't even decide who to elect as our leader, much less govern effectively. Honestly we're just here for the grift and free healthcare.

Spot on!
Ron DeSantis is currently afraid of a 15 year old who asks him questions. His security detail treats the kid like a security threat

They are afraid of everything that's doesn't fit into their little religious bubble. Years of brainwashing with 24/7 "news" cycles telling them what to be afraid of (anything but them).
The people that make that "news" need to be tried in The Hague.
"now"? Remember that weatherman who threatened to shoot a young girl because she dared to ring his doorbell in 2023?
“A child just rang my doorbell. Folks you do NOT ring doorbells in 2023. My 6 was loaded. Keep your kids away”

The boy was stabbed 26 times and succumbed to his injuries, the sheriff’s office said.
The 32-year-old woman, who had more than a dozen stab wounds, is recovering at the hospital and is expected to survive, the office said.
What kind of sick piece of shit has the capability to stab a 6 year old once much less 26 times?
Extremists who have fallen for the dehumanization of Muslims. It's just another example of why all the dehumanization and pro-genocide rhetoric coming out of Israel's government and social media is so dangerous.
Also American Christian Zionism. Israel can only get away with it the way they do because the genocide had forgien backing
Shot, even the Israelis are more critical of their government compared to the average American Zionist.
A MAGA piece of shit. They’re terrified of everything now.

A 6 year old was stabbed 26 times.
#26 TIMES!!!
I have a nephew around that age. He fell off his bike 2 weeks ago and cried his eyes out because he scraped his knee on the road.
The fact that the coward is so old too. He lived a full life. Whether he lives or does in prison is irrelevant. No matter what his punishment is, it's unjustified.
26 times man. The poor mom. Fuck, imagine escaping the hell in Palestine, thinking you've finally made it and can actually make a life in the US, and this is what you get. Life is so incredibly unfair for some. That's what conservatives don't understand. They simply cannot fathom any scenario that doesn't affect them personally.

What the fuck is it with all these comments taking the horrific news of a 6 year old being stabbed 26 times in a hate crime.... and they respond with some witty "gotcha" comments against the other side? Like am I crazy? Did anyone else get that vibe?
Anyway so...
On Saturday, Israel’s military
Ah. Just when I was wondering why they even bothered to write and publish this tragedy that so often gets ignored .... yes that's right! That shit is trending!
I think I fucking hate the internet now.
Welcome to the wonderful world of bilateral genocide.

Everything about this is just so fucking horrible. The kid just celebrated a birthday, I've got toddlers around the same age, I can't even imagine what kind of person could do that to another person, let alone a kid that young. The attacker is a 71 year old man, so basically he's dying in prison now, probably deluded by some BS propaganda on Fox News or Newsmax or whatever the fuck.

"We are all domestic terrorists." - Republicans.
Speech is free, but should still have consequences. This country has been very openly hostile to people of all darker colors. I was so deluded growing up thinking of the melting pot. But all that are lies.

Conservatives are terrorists. Let's call a spade a spade.
As an aside, there's several stories of conservative Qanon parents killing their kids too. CPS should remove children from their parents if they are conservatives homeschooling and not vaccinating.
