I hate the world and myself that my first reaction was 'well, that's convenient'

I saw the news this morning and had a similar reaction, which may be incorrect, but with the bastards in government in Israel and the bastards in Hamas who knows where the truth lies. Or indeed who is lying about the truth.

The only other thing to note is that two shot dead in Washington has a much higher news priority than 93 killed since dawn on Wednesday in Gaza.

Yes, I also hate the world.

It is awful that those two Israelis were assassinated. It appears that it is the innocents, like young children, who are more likely to get killed than Hamas. The Israeli PM and his henchmen are the ones causing people to dislike Jews, even though many of them are good decent people, who aren't happy about the way their country is being run.

I think anti semitism existed before Netanyahu

Yes it did, and it is WRONG, but Netanyahu is making it so much worse. We should be anti Netanyahu and those who think like him.

How did we conclude this is antisemitism and not just normal revenge? Israel has a history of assassinating its enemies' officials and by doing so it makes its own officials target for assassination.
