I think this will be my last post on the Tree Of Life Shooting. I cannot deal with this topic.
I’m almost not mad at Robert Bowers. Jews have been dealing with anti-Semitism, sometimes violent anti-Semitism, for 6,000 years. It is not something that is going to go away any time soon. The next attack is inevitable. Somewhere someone is planning to hurt a bunch of Jews because they are Jews. Hopefully law enforcement will prevent it before it happens, but that is not always the case. If is wasn’t this Synagogue on Friday it would be another one on another day.
The Israelis understand this better than any other Jews. They live their lives, they have fun, they go to clubs and the beach, but they are always vigilant and every place where Jews congregate has at least one Jew with a machine gun keeping an eye out for the inevitable.
It’s rarer that these things happen in America which is why so many Jews feel this attack more acutely.
Like other Jews I feel for my people in Pittsburgh. My heart goes out to them.
Then I run face first into those God damn, Liberal, Progressive fucking Jews, and virtue signaling Progressives in general.
The only 2 people who I need to hear from right now, who might ease my fears, are @BarackObama and my Rabbi, @ZRabbi … both very wise men who always have the right words. #TreeOfLifeShooting #GunControlNow

Joyce here wants to hear from Bsarack Obama. The Barack Obama that put Iran on the path to a nuclear weapon and gave them pallets of cash to fund terrorism? The Barack Obama that used the Federal Government to try and influence the Israeli elections against Benjamin Netanyahu? The Barack Obama that routinely criticized Israel and demanded concessions from them but wouldn’t criticize anti-Israeli terrorism?
So what did he have to say about this?
We grieve for the Americans murdered in Pittsburgh. All of us have to fight the rise of anti-Semitism and hateful rhetoric against those who look, love, or pray differently. And we have to stop making it so easy for those who want to harm the innocent to get their hands on a gun.

A fucking sales pitch for gun control.
So why does Joyce here want to hear from Obama and her Rabbi? Because she’s a fucking progressive who forgot the First Commandment and has put Obama on the Progressive pedestal of cult of personality.
Spent all morning reading updates from friends/family in my #Burgh hometown that they’re all thankfully safe after #TreeOfLifeShooting Spending afternoon calling & writing to voters asking them to vote for candidates who will stand for #CommonSenseGunLaws. #KeepGoing @MomsDemand pic.twitter.com/l7LjHm6sOY

Why the fuck not. The bodies are just being buried, their families have just started sitting shiva, and you have to start stumping for gun control.
I shouldn’t be surprised by this because the Democrats didn’t wait 36 hours to remind people that gun control part of their platform.
No American should have to fear for their life when going into a place of worship — or anywhere else. Bigotry and hate have no home here.
Let's work together to elect leaders who will protect the American people from senseless gun violence. pic.twitter.com/2m7QvsmBKE

Then there are all the people who decided that the real cause of this shooting wasn’t some white nationalist asshole, it was Trump, the Republicans, and the NRA.

Hatred & violence, well armed.
Yet another massacre brought to America by the @NRA, @GOP, @realDonaldTrump, and RW media.#TreeOfLifeShootinghttps://t.co/dZDFV6P33y

These people are so fucking nuts that they heckled Marsha Blackburn when she tried to hold a moment of silence for the Tree Of Life Victims.

Clearly none of these fucking people give a shit about dead Jews. They just want to use this as an excuse for pushing their Progressive horse shit.
The Brady Bill didn’t stop the 1999 LA JCC shooting and Bill Clinton was President when that happened. Barack Obama was President in 2009 when a white supremacist shot people at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in DC.
Here’s the thing, the targets of their finger pointing include me.
I am a Republican, I’ve been one since I first registered to vote.
I am an NRA member and have been one since I was 18.
I am a gun owner and I own more handguns than most white supremacists have teeth.
Why? Because I know shit like this is inevitable.
So I own and carry guns because if I am there and the inevitable happens, I’m going to shoot fucking back. This is the Israeli approach.
But since I’m not a Progressive Jew with my head in the sand or up Obama’s ass, I’m at fault.
I am actively hate by half the people I should be uniting with in solidarity, and it’s killing me.
Right now, this feels like the Jewish equivalent to the Pulse Nightclub Shooting.
Everyone blamed Trump, turned out the shooter wasn’t a Trump fan. People blamed the NRA and Republicans, and there was an outpouring of solidarity with the LGBT community.
But the Pulse Shooting also gave birth to Operation Blazing Sword. Some gays learned that they have to protect themselves. Nobody will do that for them.
I hope beyond hope that at least a handful of Jews are not so deep inside the Progressive bubble that they realize the same thing. Barack Obama and the Democrats are not going to ride in on white horses and protect the Jews. We must protect ourselves.
I am ready for Operation Golem. I humbly submit that in honor of my favorite story, the Golem of Prague. When the Jews of Prague were threatened, they created the Golem, which defended the Jews by killing those engaged in the Pogrom.
I will teach every Jew who wants to learn to shoot how to shoot. I will help you buy a gun if you have never done that before. I will put you in touch with instructors far better than myself if you really want to hone your skills.
What I will not abide is “We should vote Blue because the Democrats will save us from Trump’s rhetoric” because that is worthless horse shit and I don’t want to hear it.
As a fellow Jew, conservative, and gun owner, I agree 100% with Operation Golem. I have already taught 4 of my Jewish friends to shoot, and gotten all but one of them to get their license to carry. I will make a push to get several more on that path.
I’m almost at a loss for words over the abject stupidity of those Tweets. How anyone, especially a Jew, could support an anti-semite like Obama (if not anti-semite, he’s at least anti-Zionist) while renouncing Trump, who is probably the most Jewish-friendly President we’ve ever had is beyond my ability to comprehend.
That’s like a gun owner coming out and saying “I don’t need to hear from the NRA right now about saving my guns rights, I’m only interested in what Michael Bloomberg has to say”.
EDIT: Either of you think JPFO is an org worth joining?
Is JPFO still anything real since they were acquired by SAF? It doesn’t much look like it. Nothing new in the past few years from Rabbi Bendory, for example.
Re gun owners: unfortunately, there are still plenty of gun owners who vote Democrat.
I had heard SAF had somehow acquired some part of JPFO a while back. Guess I’ll make a donation to Mr. Gottleib and company.
i wouldn’t Give that bow-tie asshole the time of day. I think most of the people from thje former JPFO can now be found at The Zelman Partisans.
Well, ok then. I’m learning new things in this thread. I’ll keep my wallet closed until I can investigate further.
When the Pittsburgh Police charged into the Synagogue to stop the maniac, did they run in blowing whistles and waving their badges? NO, They ran into the Synagogue with GUNS!
GUNS Stopped the Killing.
One or two Jews with GUNS could have saved many lives.
This is the same idiocy that enables school massacres.
Holier than Thou virtue signaling is killing innocent lives. But they feel so smug and warm repeating their brain dead programmed talking points.
The charitable view is that it’s merely idiocy that causes the left to advocate the deadly policy of victim disarmament. The less charitable view is that they like its consequences.
