Mum is upset, I understand her. There has been a shooting in Seattle in her home state of Washington. One woman died and five others were wounded as a man shot several rounds at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle. The alleged shooter is supposed to have said, "I'm a Muslim American, I'm angry at Israel".
Sure, I know most people in Israel are Jewish, and Israel is currently at war with some Muslim terrorist organizations in its neighbouring countries, but I cannot understand why anybody would want to shoot any jew - in this case not even one living in Israel - just because Israel is at war. If an American would be angry at Sweden, would he shoot people whose ancestors emigrated to the USA from Sweden in the 19th century? If an American would be angry at Japan, would he shoot Shibas born and raised in America?! It is insane, but then, the shooter might not have been sane.
There is more about the shooting in The Seattle Times.
