RealJournalism<p>Last night, two members of the Israeli Embassy who were to be married were gunned down and killed in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WashingtonDC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WashingtonDC</span></a>. The NRA owns this. They did not deserve to die. We are on opposite sides of the fence on I/P, but there is no place for the taking of life. We cannot be like the apartheid government of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Israel</span></a> which engages in collective punishment. They are victims of gun violence, enabled by the NRA and their policies advocating lax gun laws. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GunControlNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GunControlNow</span></a> <a href="https://www.newsnationnow.com/crime/dc-israel-shooting-victims-engaged-ambassador/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">newsnationnow.com/crime/dc-isr</span><span class="invisible">ael-shooting-victims-engaged-ambassador/</span></a></p>
