WaPo: The May 21 murders at the Jewish Museum amplify confusion about "where Jews belong".

For U.S. Jews, D.C. museum killings deepen resolve — and fear

The killings of two Israeli Embassy staffers amplify the confusion felt since the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks about where Jews belong.

Hamas’s attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, and Israel’s subsequent attacks on Gaza, followed by divisions around the world over what caused the conflict and who was at fault, left the 40-year-old mother of three feeling confused, with no easy solution to the war in sight. Now, after the shooting at the Capital Jewish Museum on Wednesday, she feels similarly disoriented.

they were not too concerned with it being misunderstood if they meant 'confused to how jews should be on the issue of the Gaza war'. Upsetting for sure on many levels. Am I being too generous?

Is it trying to get Jewish people to wander again? Wander right into the clutches of MAGA they hope? I'm getting upset.

The same way that everyone else does. To ask that question is belittling and degrading.

Even if I momentarily forget, plenty of bigots keep reminding me where I "belong".
