Man Fires Shots Outside Albany Synagogue, Screams 'Free Palestine,' FBI Working to Find Motive

On Thursday afternoon, the day before the beginning of Hanukkah, a man named Mufid Fawaz Alkhader went to a synagogue, Temple Israel in Albany, N.Y. He was carrying a shotgun and fired two shots. According to police who went to the scene, he screamed “Free Palestine.” The FBI is now hard at work,
NBC News reported Thursday that according to an FBI spokesperson, Sarah Ruane, Alkhader was “arrested and charged with possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.” Albany Police Chief Eric Hawkins added, “We were told by responding officers that he made a comment, ‘Free Palestine.’” Alkhader tried to flee the scene, but someone else, unnamed in the report, who had been in the synagogue parking lot at the time stopped him. Hawkins explained that "the suspect at that point made some statement to this person who was in the vehicle to the effect of he feels that he’s being victimized."
Of course! Alkhader sure knows how the game is played these days: carry out a gratuitous, unprovoked act of aggression and then claim victimhood status. After all, who are the left’s heroes today? The “marginalized.” The “excluded.” So what better way to bid to become a hero among increasingly antisemitic leftists today than by claiming to be an outcast? Moral inversion is the name of the game. Fire random shots outside a synagogue, and then claim it’s someone else’s fault, and people will actually believe you.
