Given what I am seeing from the democrat party, I have little trouble believing that this guy is antisemitic. But as you said, wait for more to be known. He may just be a nut with not motive other than to get in the news.

Still, this tells me that the notion of Josh Shapiro as the Dem candidate for POTUS is not reality. It is not as long as the democrats remain in the form grip of the far left.

Would you bet $100 on firebug Cody Balmer not being anti-Semitic?

I thought it was because of his home being foreclosed on.

That was the story the other day.

Which is why Shapiro will never be the Rat POTUS nominee, they will never nominate a Joooooo.

I had never paid any particular attention to Shapiro nor listened to him speak until his press conference after the fire. Despite his reputation among conservatives, I was impressed by his gracious thanks to our Attorney General, our President, and all the officials who helped or offered to help him, as well as his speaking skills and non-divisive statements regarding the violence.

It wouldn't have made me vote for Kamala; but c'mon! It's astounding that Kamala, who is married to a Jew, rejected this articulate man as a VP candidate in favor of that obvious loon, Walz.

Balmer is probably a leftist who sympathizes with jihadis (note his physical appearance) over their shared hatreds.

When I saw his booking photo, I thought he was a Middle Eastern semite himself, either Jewish or muslim. But the interwebs says Balmer is an English/Scottish name. Go figure. Maybe he is a half'n'half.

If a Jew is attacked by some over Palistine, then that is Antisemitic. Being attacked simply because they are Jewish.

Shapiro is on the record saying this about Palestinians:

"Palestinians will not coexist peacefully," *** "They do not have the capabilities to establish their own homeland and make it successful even with the aid of Israel and the United States. They are too battle-minded to be able to establish a peaceful homeland of their own."

I could see how that would potentially irk someone who supports Palestinians.

The fact that the media and Shapiro immediately ascribe Balmer’s criminality to antisemitism rather than being anti-zionist or just plain crazy is what I take umbrage with. To the left, it is always the same:
If a Jew is a victim of a crime, it is antisemitism
If a black is a victim of a crime committed by a white (which is relatively rare), it is racism
If a white or Asian or Hispanic is a victim of a crime committed by a black ( which disproportionately occurs), the criminal black is acting randomly or is insane or is engaging in self-defense.

Fact check false. I am very much pro-Israel.
I have written in the past that Gaza should be bulldozed into the sea

Good try though tossing out your false tropes

Okay, sorry. This guy targeted Shapiro because of Hamas though. Shapiro has played footsie with these guys and doesn’t like Netenyahu. But in this case, he was targeted because of Hanas support.

Well, I think that we could both agree that Balmer should be severely punished. May I suggest dropping him over Gaza followed by a carpet bombing of Gaza.
