No, they were killed because the murderers fell for the Israeli antisemitic lie. The idea that all actions of Israel are necessarily representative of all Jews. The same lie that you are spreading here by assuming that because the victims were Jews, and because I put a portion of the blame on Israel, I must be blaming the victims. Even though the victims' position on Israel is not known.

I think that's their point - the Zionist movement intentionally tries to conflate Israel with Jewish people and with Judaism. For example, criticism of the country Israel and pro-Palestinean actions have generally been framed by Zionist groups as an attack on Jewish people, rather than an attack on a country and its actions.

This uses Jewish people as a shield for the actions of Zionism, and encourages antisemitism as a result. When some mass media news, social media influencers and racist agitators (e.g. neo-Nazis) all try to associate regular Jewish locals with the atrocities of Israel, this scapegoating puts all Jewish people (even those who are anti-Israel) in danger of indiscriminate attack.
