You know not all embassy staff are ambassadors from Israel right?
You can work at an embassy and be a US citizen.
Which one of them was.
That's even worse then. Not even the excuse of growing up there to fall back on. They chose to work there still.
So you condone the killing of a person because they happen to work somewhere?
Odd take but ok.
Much of Germany was working for the Third Reich, if you don't recall from history.
Shooting random staffers doesn't fight the Third Reich leadership, you just murdered some random people.
Unh huh, because that's what the US so famously did in WWII, target only the Nazi leadership while refusing to attack anyone else. Very definitely a great way to defeat facism.
Yep nuance flies right over your head too.
Much of Germany had NSDAP party affiliation because of their role in society or a wanting to have the benefits of social movement.
Shooting some random accountant or whatever isn’t going to win the war.
But sure, murder these two staffer because that’ll really help Palestine win. Dumbass.
If you conveniently forget to mention where it is exactly they happen to work, of course it sounds silly.
Can we circle around to the nuance thing? These were Embassy staffers.
And whatever innocent or less implicated person who might have died in an attack such as this would be the fault of the Israeli state.
Nuance, it goes right over your head.
