I wish the attack on the Manchester synagogue had never happened. I also feel weird about even talking about it while dozens of Palestinians are killed today whose individual names Ill never know and whose individual deaths Ill never see decried in western media headlines.
Their lives didnt matter any less than the two people who were murdered in the synagogue attack. Theyre just not white westerners, so their lives arent treated as significant. Their violent deaths arent seen as horrific. Their murderers arent denounced as monsters.
At about 1:00 on Tuesday morning, federal agents from Border Patrol, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) raided an apartment building on Chicagos South Shore Drive.
