The shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, D.C., attributed to a suspect claiming to act for Palestine, raises significant concerns about increasing far-left militancy and antisemitism. Following recent violent incidents linked to the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, authorities are treating the attack as a hate crime and terrorism. Experts note that such acts of antisemitism typically come from the far right, suggesting a worrying shift in the sources of political violence in the United States.
"To have someone from the violent far left conduct an attack against individuals based on their Jewish faith is relatively new in the United States."
"I did it for Palestine, I did it for Gaza."
"We are investigating the killings as a hate crime and a crime of terrorism."
"This would represent a major anomaly in lethal, antisemitic violence."
