This is a very good piece. The framing has been inaccurate, distracting, and even dangerous. The event was humanitarian and the murderer knew only that Jews were there
With @mimirocah1.bsky.social, I wrote about the importance of calling the murders at the Capitol Jewish Musuem what they are -- and the dominant media framing is not helping.

The danger in focusing on this detail about the Jewish museum shooting victims
As the press first reported this tragedy, they did little to challenge the political framing established by the suspect.

You shouldn't need to know this to condemn it, but this is the context of the event where the shooting took place. (www.bbc.com/news/article...)
!["JoJo Kalin, a board member of the American Jewish Committee who helped organise the event, said she did not witness the shooting but felt a "sense of guilt" about what happened.
"I'm not going to lose my humanity over this or be deterred. And that Israelis and Palestinians both still deserve self-determination and [it is] just deeply ironic that that's what we were discussing," she said.
The event was billed as a networking opportunity to bring Jewish young professionals and the diplomatic community together. Its description said humanitarian aid organisers responding to humanitarian crises in the Middle East, including Gaza, were invited."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cmvc2f5b5fou3ijbgagiovlj/bafkreiah5mwficivz3sen4i7fokbd422iacma7gtvwkn6otkd3uypuvyli@jpeg)

The Europa League final will break the record since European club football began for the lowest league finish while winning a major European trophy, whoever wins, and the lowest joint placing of the finalists in a major European final
The Europa League final on 21st May in Bilbao may well be Manchester United v Tottenham: the teams who are currently 14th and 16th in their domestic league in England.
I doubt there could ever have been a European final where the average domestic league position of the finalists is 15th (!)

Great evening listening to @steveperryman.bsky.social a terrific speaker, talk about Spurs past & present. He explained the importance of a “real” captain among other things, sadly saying we don’t have one at Spurs these days. Def not a fan of Levy or Sugar! I even won a prize in the raffle…#COYS

I have lit a candle for Syunya Toibis, murdered for being Jewish, aged only 5.
And, as always, I think of my father’s family who were also killed in the Holocaust - my great-grandparents, great aunt and uncle, and their young son, Leon. #yellowcandle

The arson suspect wanted to kill Gov. Shapiro for what he “wants to do to the Palestinian people."
So… he wanted to kill a Jewish governor because he wants peace and self-determination for Palestinians? huh?

Bloody hell
One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.
An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."
The other said, "Take him anyway."
So they did.
