IfNotNow didn't ignore the terror attack that killed three Jews yesterday. They justified it, while pretending to "grieve."
They tweeted:
We are grieving the loss of life today from an attack in the city of Elad, where three Israelis were killed and four were injured.Each of these lives is sacred, each one a whole world no longer with us.And we grieve the power imbalance fueling this violence – Israel’s apartheid system, where walls and weapons create a daily nightmare for all Palestinians.Where Israeli gov. has nuclear arms and intl support, while Palestinians lack rights to self-defense + self-determination.
They pointedly don't condemn the murders. After their perfunctory "grief" at the loss of life, they then also "grieve" the circumstances that forced Palestinians to murder Jews. That would be the "power imbalance" where Jews have power so therefore Palestinians, having no sense of free will or morality according to INN logic, have little choice but to murder random Jews.
You see, the only reason Jews are dead is because of that Jews do. Palestinians, as always, have no agency. This was merely self defense, a right that Israel doesn't give them so they must take it.
Israel has nuclear arms. So, naturally, Palestinians have to kill Jews. This is the pathetic logic of rabid Israel haters who use their ostensible Judaism for the sole purpose of saying Jews are pure evil.
If Jews being powerful is reason for them to be murdered, then what was the excuse of the Cossacks and Crusaders and Nazis and pre-1948 Arabs who attacked Jews when they were weak?
Anti-Zionist Jews who justify these sorts of attacks are reprehensible.
