    Shooting two Jewish rando’s in the US will accomplish nothing for Gaza. It casts Palestinians in a negative light, bolsters Israeli propaganda and distracts Americans from Gaza’s plight.

      Were they shot because they were Jewish, or because they were Israeli? There is a difference, but equating the two as the same thing is part of why Israel is getting away with genocide.

      I completely agree that killing them achieves nothing for Palestine. I also think killing them, even if it could is abhorrent as they are not combatants.
