Genuinely curious re: ICSD shooting
Can someone explain why the Islamic Center shooting has resulted in online discourse around Jews vs Muslims? I recognize that instagram comments are not the best representative of people but I’m genuinely confused because the shooters were clearly anti Muslim and anti Jewish, but then I see a bunch of comments saying that Jews are responsible for the shooting? Is that referring to connecting the hate crime to the conflict between Israel and Palestine? That seems like a bit of jump to me…? Did I miss something?
Edit to add: I am well aware that the argument is BS and Jews doesn’t equal to Zionists. I guess what surprised me was that people were saying Jews rather than Zionism/Israel, and lumping them all in one group. I am Jewish but I don’t support Israel and have no issue with Muslims or Islam, so it really irritates me when Jews are used as an entire group re: Palestine.
Where I am getting confused is…do we actually have any evidence that the shooters were motivated by Zionism/Israel propaganda?
