A neo-nazi has opened fire on a progressive Jewish synagogue in Pittsburg, killing 11 people.

A suspect - Robert Bowers - is in custody. Bowers is apparently a Jew-hating neo-nazi who believes Donald Trump is part of an internationalist Jewish conspiracy.

As of the time this local article posted six people were injured at the Tree of Life synagogue. That number has, I am given to understand, risen to 11.

Sadly the attack took place at a baby-naming ceremony, a time of great joy. Donald Trump has called for the death penalty for Bowers. I concur.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sends his condolences.

Bowers thought Donald Trump an internationalist. According to Philly.com:

"In recent days, Robert Bowers vigorously posted anti-Jewish posts and wrote several of his own. He did not favor Donald Trump, endorsing posts suggesting that the president was controlled by Jews and writing that he "is a globalist, not a nationalist. There is no #MAGA as long as there is a kike infestation." He also wrote that he was "glad the overwhelming jew [sic] problem has been solved so we can now fight with each other.""

End excerpt.


I would like to ask all Aviary readers for prayers for the deceased, their families, the synagogue, and the American Jewish community in general.
