A Lebanese-born man who had learned a week earlier that four of his family members were killed in an Israeli airstrike in his native country, waited in his car outside a Detroit-area synagogue for two hours before ramming into the building.
I often feel conflicted about things like this. On the one hand, I want some consequences for the actions of the country that dropped the bomb. But this church didn’t do that. The religion didn’t do it either. But it was called the temple of Isreal. So it kind of set itself up to be a representation of the country. So there is a window.
That said… the attack was on the school, so kids. Thats just no okay no matter what. If anything was on the table it would be the administration maybe. But I have a dislike for administraion in general, so maybe I’m biased there.
Attacking an American synagogue will only drum up more support for the ongoing genocide and war.
Also, the word “Israel” predates the “State of Israel”. It is also a common first and last name in the Jewish world. “Beth Israel” means “House of Israel” or “Israel House”, its not really grammatically sound so it can go either way.

Attacking synagogues in the US does nothing whatsoever to the government of Israel, so no reason to feel conflicted. It’s just plain bad.

The conflict comes because we’re comparing two different forms of evil. All we can really do is observe and take notes for the history books
