Them, a terrorist: "I was shooting up a Chanukah party in Sydney Australia to attack the Zionist policies of the state of Israel"
You, totally not an antisemite: "sounds reasonable why would anyone consider that an antisemitic attack?"
You, totally not an antisemite: "sounds reasonable why would anyone consider that an antisemitic attack?"
So the younger shooter, in a video submitted to the court, claims the shooting was aimed at the Zionist policies of Israel as a state. This is distinct from being an attack against Jewish people as a group. Once again the pro-Zionist coalition and right wing media jumped the gun and got it wrong.

There is some seriously bad shit in these records, and some of it is true. But some of it is not. And if you really want to see the wrongdoers punished, you HAVE to learn to critically figure out which is which.

www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
![We conclude that the term “regular forces” in §12406(3) likely refers to the regular forces of the United States military. This interpretation means that to call the Guard into active federal service under §12406(3), the President must be “unable” with the regular military “to execute the laws of the United States.” Because the statute requires an assessment of the military’s ability to execute the laws, it likely applies only where the military could legally execute the laws. Such circumstances are exceptional: Under the Posse Comitatus Act, the military is prohibited from “execut[ing] the laws” “except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress.” 18 U. S. C. §1385. So before the President can federalize the Guard under §12406(3), he likely must have statutory or constitutional authority to execute the laws with the regular military and must be “unable” with those forces to perform that function.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:24vva42nxim6zbcmnozegoef/bafkreidn7p3v3udvitronl37isq6t6jr3t3ufyqhgji5s7fcrdv52p4ivm@jpeg)
