"Let us begin with a brief exchange on GB News, confirmed this week as the TV arm of #NigelFarage’s #ReformUK. Following an attack on a #synagogue last week in #Michigan, in which a #gunman drove a car packed with #explosives through the entrance[...], a pundit on the channel sought to clarify what the attacker actually meant by his actions. “This was an #Israeli temple,” she explained. “It was aligned with #Israel.”
By way of evidence, she cited the name of the synagogue – #TempleIsrael – apparently unaware that #Jews have referred to themselves as “the people of Israel” for millennia, long before there was a state of that name, and that there are, for that reason, countless #synagogues in the #US called Temple Israel. No, for her, the Michigan house of worship, with its on-site school where more than a hundred children were in lessons that day, was a de facto #embassy of the Israeli state and therefore an understandable, if not legitimate, target."
