Here are several of the reliable sources that connect the Jewish Museum shooting to antisemitism. Even if you take an issue with each article individually, I would request that they also be considered in the collective. The fact is that reliable sources are widely connecting this attack to antisemitism.
- Slaying Outside D.C. Jewish Museum Is Part of Global Surge in Antisemitism-Michael Shear, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist writing for the New York Times, connects the shooting to a rising surge of antisemitism.
- The Rise of Antisemitism and Political Violence in the U.S. Time Magazine connects the shooting to rising antisemitism in the United States.
- D.C. Shooting Alarms Jewish Groups Already Hit by Rising Antisemitism Washington Post Article. Connects the shooting to rising antisemitism and describes the security measures being taken at Jewish institutions in Pittsburg following the attack.
- A Dangerous Disguise for Anti-Semitism Atlantic article accuses the shooter of using Gaza as a pretext to harm Jews.
- Even if the Capital Jewish Museum shooter ‘did it for Gaza,’ his actions were antisemitic. Article from the Forward (a Jewish news source) which argues the shooting was antisemitic even if the direct motivation was the invasion of Gaza.
I've largely left out articles from Israeli/Jewish news sources since these sources consistently and unsurprisingly describe the attack as antisemitic. I've also deliberately omitted articles that "merely" quote world leaders, Jewish organizations, friends and family of the victim, etc who describe the attacks as antisemitic. There are many news sources falling into both categories; I beleive that these sources further demonstrate the connection between the attack and antisemitism.
Also, the claim that it is possible to murder Jews during a planned attack on a Jewish cultural institute without being antisemitic is itself a controversial claim. I invite anyone who believes this attack was anti-Zionist, not antisemitic, to provide sources. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 01:25, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
