A wonderful Jewish couple was assassinated in Washington, DC.
The Jewish organizations need to stop demonstrating. The marches and demonstrations are known by the public and killers know where they can shoot or maim or kill Jewish people like fish in a barrel.
It is obvious the Jewish community is under attack from extremists that hate. It is not reasonable to expect safety at public gatherings at this point. It probably is not a well organized syndicate planning these attacks. But, it never is. These are men loosely affiliated over the internet or some kind of social media. It could even be someone who attends rallies for extremists but it doesn’t mean they are conspiring with anyone. However, they are supported through peer networking.
The permitting for organized marches has to be suspended at this point. It is not oppression. Quite the opposite. There are obvious hate groups with members willing to kill for some damn racist ideology.
Lone wolf or no lone wolf there is a mimicking movement currently and the danger is too high to allow magnificent Jewish people to brave that reality to express their thoughts and feelings about hostages.
Demonstrations with media attending can be safe with police attending the rally INDOORS and with controlled exits and entrances. Police can secure a building and nearby parking lot far easier than an open air venue.
My heart is absolutely broken over these recent attacks out of racism. All these people want is to have peace in the Middle East and a return of hostages. There is not a hateful thought among them.
The tone of powerful people in DC is violence. Those publicly expressed emotions carry with it permission for more of the same regardless the focus.
Until there is greater safety in the USA for ethnic tolerance and brotherhood people must take great care of their safety. Now is not the time for “in your face” demonstrations.
I am sorry this country has become broken to express their beautiful thoughts of descent in freedom of expression. No one is more sickened by this than me. I have no power to stop this and obviously those that do care little to route out the hatred and stop it before it happens.
The gun culture of the USA is allowing the open marketing of firearms or otherwise. I believe the attacker used homemade explosives. There are many ways of controlling substances that can be used in bomb making, but, there are still simple substances available legally that can be used for such purposes.
Once again, I am sorry for the terrible reality of oppressive social discourse in this country, but, safety of people has to be the first requirement of any movement that challenges political leaders and their decisions.
End the violence.
Don’t die doing it.
Life is precious.
