A day after a gunman killed one woman and wounded five others in the offices of the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle, the police identified a Muslim man on Saturday as the suspect and said he used the Internet to select the federation as a random target for his anger toward Jews.
Not sure how he feels about the 3 collateral non-Jewish he shot, but:
"He said he wanted the United States to leave Iraq, that his people were being mistreated and that the United States was harming his people," Chief R. Gil Kerlikowske of the Seattle Police said Saturday at a news conference. "“And he pointedly blamed the Jewish people for all of these problems. He stated he didn'’t care if he lived."
The chief said the gunman apparently selected the federation as a target by randomly searching the Internet for Jewish organizations in the area.
I guess you could chalk it all up to the BushCheneyRumsfeld foreign policy debacle, but even I don't hate these guys enough to blame them for all the anti-Semitism in the world.
Even before 9/11, on August 10, 1999, a Jewish Community Preschool shooting in Los Angeles. All that Buford O. Furrow Jr. wanted was for "this to be a wake-up call to America to kill Jews."
Oy.
I guess an objective like those related above would make sense if you really do believe, as a moral, humanitarian artist, "The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world."
