27 October Pittsburgh SynagogueISRAELI MINISTER TOLD TO STAY AWAY FROM MOURNING FOR JEWISH VICTIMS OF WHITE SUPREMACIST MASSACRE On this day in 2018, a White supremacist murdered eleven Jewish worshippers in a Pittsburgh synagogue in protest at the synagogue’s programme supporting refugees. The Wire* TV series creator, David Simon, told Israeli minister Naftali Bennet to stay away from the mourning since Netanyahu “aided in the election of Donald Trump and his raw and relentless validation of white nationalism and fascism. The American Jewish community is now bleeding at the hands of the Israeli prime minister. And many of us know it.”

 

 

وزير إسرائيلي يأمر بعدم الحداد على الضحايا اليهود في مذبحة ارتكيها عضو ينتمي لمجموعة البيض العنصرية

27 أكتوبر

في مثل هذا اليوم من عام 2018، قتل متعصّب أبيض 11 مصلي يهودي في كنيس في بيتسبرغ احتجاجًا على برنامج الكنيس الداعم للاجئين. وأخبر ديفيد سيمون مبتكر مسلسل (واير تي في) الوزير الإسرائيلي نفتالي بينيت أن يبتعد عن الحداد لان نتنياهو "ساعد في انتخاب دونالد ترامب وتأييده الشديد بلا هوادة للقومية البيضاء والفاشية. الجالية الأمريكية اليهودية تنزف الآن على يد رئيس الوزراء الإسرائيلي. والكثير منا يعرف ذلك".

The White supremacist killed the worshippers in the synagogue because they were Jews and because they worked to help refugees in the US who were being demonised by Trump. The killer posted an attack on the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society - a Jewish charity involved with refugees shortly before his killing spree. “HIAS likes to bring invaders in that kill our people. I can’t sit by and watch my people get slaughtered..."

When 'AJB' tweeted "Flooding a country with foreigners has real world consequences. Maybe they should have thought that through before promoting unlimited migration," Simon's response was withering. "The only white people worried about this are the menials and cowards and incompetents who fear interaction, engagement and competition with the rest of humanity. Oh hi, AJB, you anonymous internet fuckmuzzle."

Ivanka Trump tweeted: "America is stronger than the acts of a depraved bigot and anti-semite. All good Americans stand with the Jewish people to oppose acts of terror & share the horror, disgust & outrage over the massacre in Pittsburgh. We must unite against hatred & evil."

Simon responded: "We agree. In the end, after far too much tragedy and national degradation, this country will eventually regain its sense of itself, fight to restore its ethos and prove in the end stronger than your father."

Simon was not alone in his criticism of Bennett’s visit. “No thank you!” Rebecca Vilkomerson, the executive director of Jewish Voice for Peace in New York,
