Call the hostage-taking at Colleyville synagogue what it is: evil terrorism
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram ^ | Jan 15, 2022

Posted on 01/15/2022 9:50:46 PM PST by Conservat1

But in one sense, it doesn’t matter. Any complaint he has about the U.S. government, the case in question or even Israel doesn’t involve the individuals whose lives he has violated. Throughout the tense hours, the priority was the safe rescue of the hostages. Officers heroically stormed in and rescued them late Saturday, for which we should all be grateful. Now, it’s important to reflect with righteous anger, to acknowledge the evil done, name it and identify where it comes from. The innocent Colleyville congregants have nothing to do with the case of Aafia Siddiqui, whom the hostage-taker reportedly mentioned. Congregation Beth Israel seems to have been targeted simply because its members are Jewish. Nothing can justify that.

It’s especially twisted to target a religious congregation as it worships in a sacred space. So many houses of faith do so much to help others without regard for whatever political or foreign policy issues are driving us apart.

"The FBI and media is already doing the politically correct gaslighting, saying that Jews were not targeted by this hostage situation at a synagogue by a muslim."

Well, call them out then. Put names to the bullshiite. Who in the media said what? Which member of the FBI? Make it personal. Hold the individual to account and don't let them hide behind a bureaucracy.

He wasn’t a white, Christian, cis-gendered, straight male, so he can’t be a terrorist.

Was this on the Op-Ed page of the Startlegram?

That terrible rag is pro jihadi and EVERYTHING bad is caused by Climate Change, which is caused by white men.

These are rich, liberal Jews.

It was amazing that anyone was even there and they all weren’t home hiding under their beds from COVID.

Every time I’ve driven by there was a CPD Tahoe in the driveway.

Oh, they were vetted alright.

TalyBiden left the talyban the biometric I.d. data and tools.

They were vetted by terrorists.

That’s why so few Americans or orphans or Christian missionaries got out.

I’d bet 100 $ this jihadi was one of the Taliban talybiden rescued.
