The government of Israel is evil.
These people worked for the embassy.
We can't condemn people in broad terms. That is what started this. Killing someone because of their nationally, race, or job, is wrong. It's more senseless killing, adding to the hundreds of Palestinians killed.
Guard yourself against seeing individuals as the enemy, when their only sin is where they were born.
They weren't just born there (and given the number of settlers over there, that's doubtful tbh). They took a state job representing, and lobbying for this genocide.
It's a tragedy that it has come to this, but it's not wrong. It's wrong that it has to be this way.
How do you know they were lobbying for genocide? For all we know they were against it and working for a peaceful solution. Not everyone who works for a government is part of the ideology. That's no better than saying every Democrat is MAGA.
Most Israelis support Israel which, until a few years ago, was a-ok on account of the previous thousands of years of persecution in every other country in the world, cresting in the unpleasantness of the early-mid 1900s which set quite the bar for evil and horror.
Then Likud - like all republiQan, right-wing authoritarian regimes - seized power and started fucking everything up in incredible, outrageous ways. Americans should be familiar.
I don't know what they did for the embassy, but it could be something utterly harmless and treating them like enemy combatants when they're in an entirely different country at a museum is wrong.
I get the hate at the Likud/IDF for the genocide. Y'all are losing the plot by thinking this is ok though. It is very much not okay.
Maybe they did, which is why they were at an event to discuss delivering more aid to Gaza.

These were young idealists trying to make a change. But the shooter didn't care about the distinction, and it seems many others don't either.
