Assassination of Israelis in DC: An Act of Terrorism, NOT Antisemitism

The killing of two Israeli diplomats in Washington DC last night was an act of terrorism, and Elias Rodriguez should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Just as the tragic October 7, 2023 attacks against innocent civilians was an act of terrorism. But neither of these two criminal acts rise to the standard of "antisemitic".

But Israeli officials, as is customary, throw their safety blanket of "antisemitism" to shrug off any responsibility they have in provoking such acts of violence by deliberately and savagely slaughtering innocent civilians. They can't have it both ways. They can't continue to wantonly starve and kill, and expect no hysterical desperate reactions from ordinary people in the international community at large. 

Zionist propaganda has been so adept at deeply embedding terrifying guilt in people on account of the Holocaust. To exploit the Holocaust in order to justify ANY barbarity by Israel is really indecent. For decades, Zionists have drilled the trope of antisemitism in world culture that it has become virtually impossible to honestly and candidly criticize Israeli or Zionist actions without the trope of antisemitism being thrown around to trigger fear and guilt impulses - and deter any further criticism no matter how relevant or appropriate it might be. "Antisemitic" is attached to anyone, including to entire Jewish communities, who sees Israel's genocide in Palestine as an inhumane, monstrous act of barbarity against a starved and bombed population. The label of antisemitism has itself become a libel.

Israel’s Ambassador to the UN, the Zionist Danny Danon, called the shooting “a depraved act of anti-Semitic terrorism". He has no serious argument to make because he knows that what his government is doing in Palestine is indefensible, morally, politically, and legally. So he resorts to the libel of antisemitism as pre-emptive deterrence against those who might suggest a factual link between the assassination of the two diplomats in DC last night and the savagery of Israel in Palestine.

Please Mr. Dannon, keep the antisemitism bullshit out of the picture. As the investigation will in all likelihood show, Elias Rodriguez did not kill the two diplomats because they were Jewish. He did not yell any of the standard antisemitic tropes that might justify your accusation that his act was one of antisemitism.

According to Wikipedia, "antisemitic tropes, also known as antisemitic canards or antisemitic libels, are "sensational reports, misrepresentations or fabrications" about Jews as an ethnicity or Judaism as a religion. Since the 2nd century, malicious allegations of Jewish guilt have become a recurring motif in antisemitic tropes, which take the form of libels, stereotypes or conspiracy theories. They typically present Jews as cruel, powerful or controlling, some of which also feature the denial or trivialization of historical atrocities against Jews."

Elias Rodriguez yelled "Free Palestine" as he was taken away after assassinating the two Israeli diplomats. His terrorist act was not motivated by any of the misrepresentations, conspiracy theories, or fabrications listed above. It was probably, as the investigation will not fail to reveal, motivated by the spectacle of genocide and ethnic cleansing that Israel is methodically, coldly and slowly perpetrating in Palestine as confirmed by thousands of foreign witnesses on the ground and by every other international expert and diplomat. Israel cannot hide the wanton barbarity of this second Nakba like it did with the first Nakba of 1948. Back then, Zionists could control the narrative with a couple of newspapers and get away with murder by brandishing the specter of Jewish victimhood after the Holocaust. But times have changed. 

Information is free today. No one can control it, and the more Israel and the Zionists keep  signing old lying tunes from a century ago, the more they sink in the moving sands they have dug for themselves. Even Holocaust-guilty European countries that have always been Israel's allies and backers have had it enough with Israel's barbarity in Palestine. Could the entire international community be wrong, while Israel (and the US government moron criminals and their only allies like the very weighty Marshall Islands) is the only one to be right?

Israel is perpetrating a genocide in Palestine whose objective is to empty Palestine of its original indigenous Palestinian population and replace it with foreign settlers. That has always been the methodology and the objective ever since Herzl, followed by Balfour and the Jewish terror groups (Haganah, Irgun, Lehi Group, Stern Gang...) violently voided Palestine of its owners whome they exxpelled into refugee camps and declared it as theirs to steal. Gaza is no more than a collective of dozens of refugee camps populated by indigenous Palestinians who were expelled by religious Jewish-Zionist fanatics from Europe and lately from New York. Why? Because, as they say, it is Yahweh's will and design.

I wish Mr. Dannon would give us one - just one - example of even a verbal criticism against Israel that he would NOT qualify as antisemitic. Enough of the antisemitic bullshit as a cover for barbarity and to repress speech critical of savagery and mass murder.

Should the legal pursuits against Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein, the three sex trafficking Alexander brothers, Oren, Tal and Alon Alexander, and many others be qualified as antisemitic because these criminals are Jewish? 

Elias Rodriguez is a terrorist. His act is an act of terrorism. But it is NOT an act of antisemitism.
