Why is this act of domestic terrorism not the headline for all news “media”? Is it the victims? Is it the suspects? Is it the location?

The Rise of Black Anti-Semitism is an all-too-familiar tension In addition, NJ has the highest number of antisemitic offenses after NY and CA. Meanwhile, the NJ Governor is looking the other way and is asleep at the wheel. Time to pass bipartisan legislation S-4001 NJSenatePres

🤔

The alt-right white nationalist party the people that his Royal Orange One said are nice people. He signed a executive order after this massacre. Didn't his R.O.O. meet with Jewish groups this wk. The white supremacists might be angry.

Committed by The Black Hebrew Israelites. The same group that harassed the Covington Catholic HS students and were given a free pass by the media. But Blacks hating Jews serves no media narrative, so expect this story to disappear down the memory hole

cnni Tragic. The fanbase of fake 45 showing off again. RIP

I find it very odd that they're trying to say this wasn't the anti-semitism attack

You write a 7 page story and never mention even one fact about the attackers, other than what they did. I’m no journalist, but wow...someone is being censored

👍👍

This was in the area they were celebrating in the streets when the towers came down

The shooter were Brian Stelter and Jim Acosta!

Two long guns. Pipe bombs. A Uhaul truck with pipe bombs and filled with gas. Attacked Jewish kosher store, shot at Catholic school across street. What do you think?

This is honestly some sad shit... but people love a big spectacle

I can’t imagine why the names of the shooters haven’t been released yet. Weird.💁🏼‍♂️

Do sad we live in an era where antisemitism is still as prevalent as ever. And that no one is shocked by gun attacks. We need change. Now.

Gun Control NOW!

Announce Trump Impeachment or don't tweet

What is real story concerning attackers? Why is it being suppressed?

Saudi?

Wonder if realDonaldTrump or NRA care to address this fact?
