Eight Jews Dead in an Antisemitic Hate Crime, and Trump is Already Victim Blaming
This morning, a white man named Robert Bowers entered Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life synagogue, shouted “all jews must die,” and shot 14 people. At least 8 so far are dead.
When asked if this reflected on gun control, the president of the united states said, “If they had protection inside, the results would have been far better…if they had some kind of a protection inside the temple, maybe it could have been a very much different situation. They didn’t — he was able to do things that unfortunately he shouldn’t have been able to do.”
This is victim blaming. He is saying that because these congregants had chosen not to defile a house of g-d with instruments of death, they were shot.
When building the Temple in Jerusalem, it’s said, g-d required the stones not be cut with metal tools, as such things could be used to kill people. We believe that instruments of death have no place in the praising of g-d. We should not be required to sacrifice this value in order to stay alive.
May their memories be a blessing.
I appreciate that people are liking this, but please reblog as well
OHMYGOD and you’re not even in the fandom. Thank you, my friend.
Headcanon A: realistic
Octavius can’t get used to the food in the 21st century – Larry’s the first night guard who’s ever shared. There’s no LEAD in the wine? And what in the name of all the gods happened to the fruit? So very confusing.
Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious
Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends
He’s pined for Jed for decades and decades, and some nights he wonders if it’s really worth it, all this fighting with no seeming end. There have been times he’s considered going out in the sun just out of sheer existential crisis and what he sees as unrequited love.
Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.
The tablet can occasionally make the miniatures full-sized for a night if Ahkmenrah does enough percussive maintenance on it. Octavius always takes the opportunity to go get New York pizza. (Hey, there’s some food the 21st century does right…)
Goblin: What makes you happy? Security (money’s an issue right now). Knitting. My cats. Sushi (my wife, not the food). Rainy days, like the one we’re having right now. Good food. ❤
Wraith: Any scars? Yup. Some on my fingers, arms, and legs from stupid injuries and cats. One on my tailbone from my sacral tail (it’s called a sacral dimple and a small percentage of people have it). Technically one on my left tibia from the time I broke it when I was thirteen.
Fairy: What is something that you get excited about? Vacations!
You know, the news is really sheltering gentiles from the full horror of what happened this morning when they keep using the phrase “Brit Milah.” Yes, that’s what was happening in the synagogue this morning, but do you know what it is?
It’s a baby naming.
Every bit as important as a christening or first birthday.
That is what this shooter opened fire on. A baby naming with people praying for that baby’s health and happiness and future.
i’m gonna be honest i didn’t even read the tweet because i had to hit reblog too fast when i saw this guy’s name is “i like hitting police because i am homosexual”
