I'm sorry for your friend's loss. May their memories be blessings.

If your reaction to a random Jewish couple dying is celebration that you claim is justified because they might have been supporters of their right to self-determine in their indigenous homeland, you have a problem. If your reaction to a random Jewish couple dying is to bring up a conflict across the world that they weren't fighting in, you have a problem.

just in case you're wondering how bad antisemitism is online by now: my friend had to take down the memorial post she made on IG for her dad and stepmum (who died less than a week ago) bc people were spamming it with "free palestine" and "two less zionists is a good thing" comments

#oh antisemitism the only hatred where you can say that you hate the group you're targeting #and people will persist in insisting to the hurt people you hate that you don't hate them #that you're misunderstanding them when they say they hate you and celebrate the deaths of your people #antisemitism wasn't defeated after the shoah #hiding antisemitism under a thin mask of social-justice political purity still makes you an antisemite #and it's stunning how you yell at Jews for defining antisemitism with a definition that includes your antisemitism then turn around and say #that minority groups get to define their oppression.
