🧵 It's been a year since the terrible #Colleyville Synagogue hostage crisis.

#OTD (Jan 15, 2022), a gunman entered the Congregation Beth Israel synagogue in #Colleyville, Texas, during a Sabbath service.

The gunman’s rants were recorded over the video stream. He warned that he would kill people unless authorities released his “sister” (Aafia Siddiqui).
#Colleyville

Aafia Siddiqui is serving an 86-year sentence after being convicted of attempting to kill American military personnel in Afghanistan.
She had made racist comments against Jews and Zionists while on trial in 2010. #Colleyville

The mainstream coverage of this event minimized the #antisemitic nature of the crime. @BBC @guardian @AP @FBI #Colleyville

#Antisemitic incidents account for the vast majority of religiously motivated hate crimes in the US. #Colleyville

The media are responsible for reporting the full essence behind attacks against American Jews. #Colleyville
