Cain and Abel were Jews???
As fond as these folks are of comparisons with German history (1938, Munich, etc.), they might want to look into a mirror sometimes, for they remind me a lot of the Freikorps, reactionary army, and related nationalist goons who murdered Walther Rathenau, Rosa Luxemburg, Karl Liebknecht, Gustav Landauer, Kurt Eisner, Matthias Erzberger, and the list goes on. The Weimar judiciary failed shamefully in dealing with right wing political murders, almost to the point of complicity with the perpetrators, again reminiscent of Israeli law enforcement’s handling of attacks against Palestinians.
We’ll see how the Israeli police and judiciary deal with this attempted murder – since the victim is Jewish there’s hope, although, as you note, the wider political consequences are another matter.
