As I have told my fellow Jews for years anti Semitism is caused by hypocrisy. Many Jews push for multiculturalism and open borders in White countries but want to keep Israel a Jewish state. This sort of double standard motivated this guy to attack the Synogogue.

Jews should just embrace nationalism for all races. For example Jewish journalists can stop mocking Trump for trying to build a wall when anybody can look up that Israel has a wall on its border.

When Weiss writes about "open doors" and "core values that make communities like Squirrel Hill what they are: welcoming, big-hearted and profoundly decent" what the hell is she even talking about? I don't want Isreal to have open doors. I don't even really want non-Jews in my family, and it's not exactly like this sort of sentimant is uncommon among Jews. This is worse then naive. If mush heads like Bari Weiss had their way the Jewish people would be exterminated or mixed out of existence.

This event has left me emotionaly exhausted and ruined my Sabbath. I couldn't even stop myself from updating my news feed once an hour. My wife and I will light some candals for the poor victims.

Agree with Jewish Cat.

Also, apparently, they don't want our help -

"Any strategy for enhancing the security of American Jewry should involve shunning Trump’s Jewish enablers. Their money should be refused, their presence in synagogues not welcome. They have placed their community in danger."

This sort of double standard motivated this guy to attack the Synogogue. ~ Jewish Cat at October 28, 2018 12:26 AM

Huh? You actually think this guy actually took the time to sit down and work out a coherent framework for his rage?

He picked out an easy target to hate, a vulnerable target, and moved on it. These types hit schools, athletic fields, churches, synagogues, clubs - places where people feel safe, but have no actual safety. Why do you think they never hit police stations, armed military bases, or gun clubs?

These types of attacks are not made to advance a political viewpoint or philosophy. They're made out of rage and a deep disturbance in the psyche.

Had the synagogue not been there, something else would have borne the brunt of Bowers' ferocity. It's not about targeted hate, it's about widespread rage.

My T-feed is full a Jewish people who remember armed guards at synagogue for the past 30 or 40 Years of attendance.

They're trying to shut down Gab because the shooter had a social media account there, even though he had accounts on other platforms as well.

Gab's hosting has been terminated -

Stripe and Paypal have also cut off Gab -

The shooter also had accounts on Twitter and Facebook, but not actions against them.

Gab has managed to get a new hosting provider -

@Snoopy,

I wish I could said that this arrogance will eventually cost the people in Silicon Valley a whole lot more than what they think about.

But.. I've been saying that for three years and nothing has been done.

Many Jews push for multiculturalism and open borders in White countries but want to keep Israel a Jewish state. This sort of double standard motivated this guy to attack the Synogogue.

Or he's just hateful and nuts (or evil and nuts). This attempt to explain his actions through the prism of "multiculturism" comes awfully close to defending his actions.

We really don't think that blacks get most of the hate. They're just trying desperately to convince us that they do.

Blacks hate others far more than those same others hate blacks. If you look at the homicide rates, blacks kill over twice as more of any other racial demographic than vice versa. Also, per capita, blacks commit more hate crime than any other racial demographic.

@sixclaws I expect that there will be consequences, whether coming from antitrust actions, ToS litigation, or simply attrition due to users no longer trusting these platforms.

But at the moment, the majority of the media and the Left generally (same difference) is so gung ho for corporate thought policing and censorship that they're protecting them.

Eventually, the general public will become aware of what's happening and respond.

Honestly if 5 years ago I had told people that Liberals were going to demand that corporations censor and curate their political news, I'd have been laughed at. But that's exactly what has happened.

I HOPE this is true...

Can't we all just agree to hate people who call this sort of cocktail a 'martini'?

I think we can.

@Gog,

These days almost anything can be a martini; lycheetini, choco tini, cinnamon tini, mango tini, etc.

FYI, I did googled for S***ntini and thankfully all I found was Italian last names.

Yes. Hate with the burning intensity of a thousand suns.

No.

Anything not a mixture of gin and vermouth is not a martini. Not even James Bond's original concoction, the Vesper, which morphed into the sacrilegious "vodka martini" when translated to the movies.

Bond's original recipe, the Vesper, was not a martini, even though he called it a "dry martini." It was, for 1953's austerity-choked and heavily-rationed Britain, a sinful indulgence; an escapist fantasy of a drink.

"A dry martini," he said. "One. In a deep champagne goblet." ... "Just a moment. Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon-peel."

Since the martini is an American creation, I can understand why an Englishman, even a super spy with a license to kill, would not know how to decently order one.

This is ludicrous on its face, and possibly bogus.

That murderous fucker in Pittsburgh was not some thoughtful agent of rational social craftwork... He was a fartbrained, inter-personally incompetent shithead deluded in his isolation and insufficiently humbled by his low station in life.

We ought not share his mistake of presuming our understanding of culture is soundly, admirably, and actionably mechanical.

Most people... Most of us... don't know *shit*.

Don't be part of the problem.

I have deep, deep doubts about "Jewish Cat's," um, sincerity.

Good to see that Coney moved on this first thing.

It's a shame these messes need to be cleaned up.
