Anti-semitic murder comes to the streets of New York
I wonder how long it might be before the antisemitism which is at he core of support in the UK for the Palestinians in Hamas results in a similar incident in London ?From BBC News today."Suspect charged with murder of two Israeli embassy workers in Washington DC"'The suspect accused of gunning down two Israeli embassy staff members outside a Jewish museum in Washington DC has been charged with first-degree murder, as well as murder of foreign officials and related firearm charges.Wednesday night's attack is being investigated as a hate crime, and more charges are expected, US Attorney Jeanine Pirro said at a news conference.Steve Jenson, from the FBI's Washington DC field office, called the killings "an act of terror and directed violence against the Jewish community".Couple Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim were shot dead outside an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington DC around 21:08 local time (02:08 BST) on Wednesday, police said. The suspect opened fire on a group of four exiting the event, killing the two victims, police said.Police identified the suspect as 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez from Chicago who had bought a ticket to the museum event about three hours before it began. He was arrested at the scene shortly after the shooting.Police said the suspect also shouted "free Palestine" before he was taken into custody.Social media accounts linked to the suspect also indicate that he was heavily involved in the pro-Palestinian protest movement. Investigators said they were working to authenticate writings online purportedly authored by him, accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza, criticising US policy and discussing the use of political violence'.Not that I am suggesting they advocate 'political violence', but those that are so vociferous in attacking Israel and making often unfounded accusations against them, should be careful not to stir up a hornet's nest of potentially violent trouble makers in the UK.Already, the statistics of antisemitic attacks in London are on the rise.
