      No, this would be like shooting the cleaners at the German embassy during the Nazi regime, for simply being German.

        If a German working at the Nazi embassy gets shot, they were not getting shot for “being German” when the perpetrator says “Free the Jews” afterwards.

        That said, you might be right that they were not diplomats themselves but staffers. The article did mention the male staffer going back to Nazi-Germany to propose.


        Small edit: None of them were “janitors”. The man served 3 years in the IDF before current role, and was a “Research assistant for the MENA region” at the Israeli embassy.

        The woman worked at for the Israeli embassy’s Public Diplomacy department. So basically doing genocide PR.

          Ah but don’t you see? Saying “free palestine” is now antisemitic because the zionazis have decided that opposing the genocide they are commiting is “antisemitic”.

          According to them, being jew gives you freedom to kill thousands of people (including children), and opposing that is a hate crime.
