In reply to the discussion: Two Israeli Embassy staff members killed outside Jewish museum in Washington, DC [View all]JohnSJ
(98,883 posts)63. The subject of this thread is the killing of two people simply because they were JEWISH. That you find
it necessary to set up some kind of "equivalence" in these killings and what is going on in Gaza is beneath you, and worse, that you are even implying that because other killings are supposedly being justified, that THIS is somehow understandable.
That is disgusting and deplorable.
and please don't soft-peddle that "isn't what you meant".
You just confirmed what I didn't want confirmed.
and just to make this very clear no one here at DU is justifying what is now happening in Gaza.

There no good reason for killing these people but did Israel "justify" their starvation of innocent children?

I think the odds are very high on that speculation. The only thing I have heard he is a 30 year old man

It's a sad state of affairs. It's also sad how this event will likely get more attention than the 275 Gazans

Yes, I know. But do you know how many people are killed by guns EVERY DAY in the USA? But this gets more sympathy,
