Part of the reason why this is encouraged is a lack of condemnation and sanctions on Israel for its pager terror attack. Instead you had many media outlets praise how "sophisticated" that attack was and many made "beeper jokes" on twitter and co.

The endorsement this terror attack by Israel gained from all parts of the mainstream political spectrum of course results in the American and European fascists endorsing to use it to terrorize their political opponents. if Israeli fascists get praised for terror attacks, ehy shpuldnt western fascists be also praised for it?

After all, many of these opponents parties themselves praised this kind of terror. Note that this is not exclusive to the US. In Germany there also have been dozens of supposed liberal and progressive politicians and journalists cheering on the terror attack and making "beeper jokes" to suggest killing people in Germany in this way too.

Just asking: Could you refer to me which politicians and journalists joked about that in Germany? Not saying this is not true, I'm just curious on the examples.

Curious on what is behind that paywalled link, but the rnd link is pretty underwhelming.

I wouldnt put a retired BND lead in a list of "supposed liberal and progressive politicians". I expected some well-known names or at least people representing or speaking as a party's role.
