A prominent Palestinian author and activist callously ripped the two victims of the DC Jewish Museum shooting as “genocide cheerleaders” in a series of hateful tweets — saying she was shocked the bloodshed hadn’t “happened sooner.”
Investigators have seized writings that they believe belong to the suspect as they search for a motive in the fatal attack.
The article, titled "For U.S. Jews, D.C. Museum Killings Deepen Resolve – and Fear," was published by the paper Friday.
"Because of what happened in Washington, D.C., every Jewish organization, every Jewish institution is revisiting their security plans, is reviewing their protocols," said Daniel Goldwin, chief public affairs officer of the Jewish United Fund.
Anti-Jewish attacks have increased since the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas in 2023, and have remained high during Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, according to groups that monitor hate crimes around the world.
