Not Antisemitic

Unlike last year’s firebombing of my local synagogue, yesterday’s murder of two Israeli embassy workers in Washington was not antisemitic. Regardless of whether or not the murderer has general antisemitic feelings, the act itself was directed specifically at supporters of the State of Israel (with the actual victims being agents of that state), and the perpetrator clearly expressed a perceived grievance against that state in particular and not necessarily against the Jewish people as a whole

[Also probably not antisemitic is the BBC’s soccer commentator Gary Lineker, despite the fact that the pro-Palestinian meme he shared did include antisemitic content. He may have been stupid not to notice that, but there is no evidence that he actually did. ]
