    It’s unfortunate how the attitude changes when it’s a favourable group of people that’s being targeted.

    I’m not saying you’re wrong. You are right and it should be the way, but the number of people who would sarcastically cry “ugh, it’s the ‘not all Muslims’ defence again!”, every time anyone tried to say that the vast, vast majority of Muslims do not support and absolutely reject any form of murder, harm or terrorism.

    It really sucks, but people like to have a common enemy. Life is tough, and having someone to vent at seems to be how we cope. It was the Blacks then the Irish, then Muslims, then Chinese, then mask-wearers(!?), and now Jews. It should not be this way, and despite supporting Palestine in their right not not be massacred, I can’t help feeling sad that Jews everywhere, no matter their stance on the matter, will face the blind judgement of uneducated, trigger happy self-appointed, miguided vigilantes.
