Can’t even call what it truly was antisemitic. Disgraceful and vile they should resign immediately.

She says she does not agree this was an act of antisemitism because “the perpetrator… was explicit about ending Zionism”.

Yes, let’s take the word of the shirtless guy lighting holocaust survivors on fire with a flamethrower.

He has no issue with Jews.

And if he said he was burning Jews in an effort to protect the coral reefs of Australia, then by god, we must believe him!

Translation: He was explicit in ending a Jewish state.

And the shooter at Mother Emmanuel was explicit about protecting white people from the documented criminality of black people. He wasn't racist!

Lighting Holocaust Survivors on fire for participating in an explicitly NON-Zionist event.

Run for Their Lives takes no stand on anything but freeing innocent people held captive by terrorists. They are explicitly non-partisan on everything else. IMO, they need to sue everyone claiming otherwise for libel, because they are not a pro-Zionist organization - they just aren’t ANTI either.

We need to shout that from the rooftops and make that distinction clear. The Judenhaasers do NOT get to claim this was an attack on a Zionist anything, because it wasn’t. Don’t let them hide behind that lie.
