    I’m assuming it’s someone who thinks they’re getting revenge for Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Almost everyone I’ve met who would celebrate Hanukkah is no fan of Netanyahu’s war crimes but I guess for some Jewish = Israeli.

      My closest Jewish friend has shared how members of his family was forcibly removed from where they lived in Palestine because it was designated as an Arab zone during the same period as the Nakba. He blames zionists for it. At least his family didn’t end up stateless as a result, but I still can’t imagine how terrible being forced out of your home for something out of your control would be.

      Assuming helps nobody. Wait for the motives to be revealed by the investigators.

      There’s already a bunch of anti-Muslim statements rising on the usual places (YT, FB) because the only shooter identified so far has an Arabic-origin name.

      Or a neo-Nazi, or some incel who has no coherent political views but a formless rage, and knows nothing about Jews except that killing them is very edgy and would eclipse the shame of being a virgin with a vast porn collection.

        It’s so insane to me that it was a father son duo. I mean maybe it makes more sense in a way, but holy shit.
