Six Are Shot at Seattle Jewish CenterAnd nobody laughed!

SEATTLE, July 28 — Five people were injured and one was killed Friday afternoon when a man who expressed anger toward Jews opened fire in the offices of the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle, the authorities said.
The Seattle Police did not identify the suspect. They said he was arrested 12 minutes after the first report came in to emergency dispatchers. At 4:03 p.m., according to Assistant Chief Nick Metz, dispatchers received a call saying people had been shot and hostages taken at the offices of the federation, a fund-raising and planning organization at the edge of downtown.
[...]
Because of what the suspect said in that conversation, which the chief would not disclose, the shootings are being treated as a hate crime, he said. Chief Kerlikowske said the suspect was Muslim.
The authorities said they did not think the suspect was acting as part of a terrorist group.
“We believe at this point that it’s just a lone individual acting out some kind of antagonism toward this particular organization,” said David Gomez, the Federal Bureau of Investigation agent who heads its counterterrorism unit in Seattle.
Mr. Gomez said his agency had been “monitoring” both Jewish and Muslim organizations, and reaching out to their leaders “for the last couple of weeks, since the beginning of hostilities in the Middle East.”
[...]
So after the FBI had been "monitoring" both Jewish and Muslim groups and "reached out to their leaders ... since the beginning of hostilities in the Middle East", like the good little politically correct zombies they are, one Jew is dead and five more are injured because somebody who incidentally happens to be a Muslim vented his unspecified antagonism towards this organisation that by chance happened to be Jewish.
I guess he might as well have targeted the local "Weight Watchers" group because of some kind of antagomism towards fatties.
Really, the best about this totally and utterly brainless, dangerously politically correct drivel IS the "acting out some kind of antagonism toward this particular organization" bit. Obviously, the New York Times hacks can't even (or don't dare to) spelling "an-ti-se-mi-tism".
Next step: The acting out of unspecified antagonism like that will be protected by the "Free Speech" law, oh-so-cherished in America.
And no, of course he wasn't acting as part of a terrorist group, exept of the one called "Islam".
Where is the much-quoted and even more frequently deriled "Jew York Times" when we need it?

AUXOO,
Are you suggesting we take the Jews and put them in the Ukraine?
If we did that, I guarantee you that in 50 years people would be saying the same thing about that decision.
Read up on the history of the Palestinian territory. There were few people there. There was no established nation ever in history, other than Israel. The people who did live there were nomads.
The land upon which the UN decided to settle the Jews was as good or better than any desolate piece of land upon which they could have been settled anywhere on the planet, save maybe Anarctica.
Truth is, if you go to Israel, you will see that the Jews have worked wonders with the land. On one side of the wall there is vegetation, and prosperity, and on the other side of the wall, there is desolation. Those Palestinian Arabs who live in Israel get to live better than any Arabs in the Middle East. The freedoms they enjoy under the government of Israel far exceed the freedoms offered by any other Arab government.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian Arabs who live in the Palestinian territories live in a Sharia state.
Did you knonw all this?
Did you know all this?
My bet is on "yes, he does, but as it's inconvenient, ignore it".
auxx0, what a putrid argument ..in that case, the Scythians are now a nuclear power, since the majority of current russia, almost all of the new central asian nations and part of Iran is THEIRS.
Not only that, all the people here betetr leave back for where they were chased out of by relgious and poltical opporesors (just like those by the way to CAME TO THE AREA OF PALESTINE FROM THE 1880's on, which then of course drew arabs in to take part in the newly burgeoning economy)
And last ..WE DON'T GIVE A SH*T what the hell anyone thinks anymore. We tried caring in the 90's. Guess what happened?
Listen aux00!
About 20 percent of israeli citizens are not even jewish, and a huge part of the jews in Israel derives from countries of the region and never set foot on european soil, not to mention the mixed families.
Personally I don`t follow the jewish position that it is their land because God gave it to them, but then again I dont have to, because of the facts that are mentioned above and because the state of Israel is existing and will exist.
Personal insults and racism is all you can resort to?
Your analysis of Leeds University campus is as ignorant as it is inaccurate. You have no idea of the political climate on campus or the types of campaigning that goes on beyond the few articles you've skim read to form this poor diatribe.
You seem to imply that Hind and some of my other colleagues and friends are anti semitic or have acted in an anti semitic fashion.
Why then do you not mention that we worked along side LUU Jewish Society in the anti Frank Ellis campaign and in anti-fascist campaigns?
You also have not read the full unedited articles written by Mr. Ellis in Leeds Student. They were edited because they were deemed too offensive to publish. You really should know the facts before writing about things like this, otherwise you run the risk of looking extremely, extremely stupid.
Yuo'll be glad to know that Hind was elected to the LUU executive with a massive majority recently.
When we read tripe like this, we smile. It means we are succeeding in our goals.
I hope you enjoy your time as an aloof, preposterous internet warrior spouting your xenophobic crap, because you are a dying breed.

Eh? What are you talking about? Did you READ that blog entry? Since when is the Seattle Jewish Center in Leeds?
I hope you enjoy your time as an aloof, preposterous internet warrior spouting your xenophobic crap, because you are a dying breed.
Without doubt, if you and your ilk are getting your way. Thanks for being so frank about it.
