I'm a retired, General Officer level U.S. Army Intelligence leader who's been in INFOSEC since the 1980s, when it was mostly mainframes & Novell. Certifications came after, when I was off leading in the PSYOP / counternarrative side of IO, so I don't have any & cannot claim to be any sort of technical expert--but I can still (in sha' Allah) talk intelligently with folks who ARE technical experts & help connect such discourse to strategic outcomes. I'm also coming onboard as Associate Director of an academic Global & National Security Policy Institute, a Twitter refugee sold on the fediverse as the most resilient architecture to avoid getting co-opted by billionaires or governments, an observant Muslim & aspiring alim, and a senior EDUCATIONAL Technology scholar. As I said in my old Twitter bio, "Yep--weird." :-D

It's just a tad disingenuous to automatically classify all these attacks as "antisemitic" during years when The Jewish State™ is COMMITTING A #GENOCIDE while the nations of the world mostly sit back in silence (when theyre not actively serving as #GenocidesBodyguards). SOME people are likely frustrated enough by that to feel like they have to do SOMETHING, striking the most related targets that are within reach.
Make no mistake, these attacks are all still #terrorism. They're all still murder. They're all still crimes against God's law AND man's, especially since it's logically fallacious to hold THE WORLD'S JEWS accountable for the actions of #IsraelAtWarCrimes--just as it would be to indiscriminately murder AMERICAN noncombatants for the #CrimesAgainstHumanity of the Trump Administration.
But it seems AT LEAST as likely that MOST of these attacks are motivated by the hatred OF GENOCIDE that--in theory--WE'RE ALL SUPPOSED TO SHARE, rather than hatred OF JEWS, which is what antisemitism is SUPPOSED TO be about.
Yes, we will probably find a few cases OF NAZIS getting in on the act, too, to try to exploit the cause of #JusticeForPalestine to whitewash their antisemitism. Just as we might find A FEW who are agents of the #FauxlamicRepublic of Iran trying to exploit it to garner sympathy for their terrorist attacks on Western targets as part of the war. But those are (1) likely to be a minority, and (2) are different conversations altogether when they arise.
