Hoax: The ‘Islamophobic’ shooter of three ‘Palestinians’ in Vermont actually supported Hamas.

BLUF: James J. Eaton, local Burlington, Vermont crazy man who loves Joe Biden and Hamas, stumbled out of his house and shot at the three men walking past his house. After which all the usual suspects blamed it on Israel defending itself from Hamas. [FrontPage] When three Arab Moslem students were shot and maimed in Burlington, Vermont, politicians and the media immediately hyped it as the ’Islamophobic Crime of the Century’.
President Biden issued a statement declaring that "there is absolutely no place for violence or hate in America." Vice President Kámala Harris
Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, now a senatrix from California former 2020 Dem presidential hopeful, and Joe Biden's wing nut...
’ statement bemoaned that "far too many people live with the fear that they could be targeted and attacked based on their beliefs or who they are". The three Moslem men identified as ’Paleostinian’, two of them were wearing keffiyehs and Kamala, like many other leftists, was implying that the shooter was ’anti-Paleostinian’.

"The idea that three young men walking down the street get shot, perhaps because of no other reason than they are Paleostinian, is unspeakable," Sen. Bernie Sanders
...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being an Independent socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around...
said. "But I gotta tell you, this is not just a local phenomenon, this is happening all over the country."
Then he blasted Israel.
"I’m heartbroken by yesterday’s senseless shooting of three Paleostinian-American students visiting Burlington. We do not tolerate hate or Islamophobia
...the irrational fear that Moslems will act the way they usually do...
in Vermont," Sen Peter Welch tweeted.
"I do want to be clear that there is no question this was a hateful act," Sarah George, the local State’s Attorney, claimed without evidence.
"In this charged moment, no one can look at this incident and not suspect that it may have been a hate-motivated crime," Burlington Police Chief Jon Murad argued.
Anti-Israel groups convened a rally calling for the destruction of Israel.
"I stand here to stand with oppressed people who now fear for their lives just walking down the street here in Burlington," Vermont Lt. Gov. David Zuckerman told the hateful mob.
A speaker at the hate rally with the antisemitic University of Vermont affiliate of Students for Justice in Paleostine blamed the shootings on Jews, calling them the "shameless monsters who enabled this" and denouncing "a crime of unspeakable racist hatred, a crime borne out of white supremacy
...the pernicious doctrine that laws were intended to be obeyed, that society works better when people don't pour shreiking from their places of worship every Friday for a weekend of rioting over insults real or imagined; and that cannibalism, beastiality, incest, murder, theft, rape, and similar activities are bad. A Dead White European (which invalidates his opinion) philosopher once opined that societies thrive when a person's word can be relied upon, and that a society which puts individual happiness first will invariably fail. Strangely enough, other successful societies, such as China, Japan, Korea, and those kinds of places could also be lumped with white supremacist societies, since they push the same values...
, out of fascist
...anybody you disagree with, damn them...
, genocidal malice, a crime borne out of Zionism."
All of these claims, along with many others around the shootings, were based on lies.
The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee falsely claimed that "a man shouted and harassed the victims, then proceeded to shoot them. We have reason to believe this shooting occurred because the victims are Arab."
In reality, they had been shot by a local resident outside his house who did not say a word.
The three Moslem men were returning home from a party on Saturday night when James J. Eaton, a local resident with a history of mental instability, stumbled out of a white clapboard house on the residential street and without a word fired four shots at the three men.
Eaton had been described as "that hippie guy" and "progressive", an organic farmer who had posted a meme with a definition of "Amerika" that called it "the worst sense of the United States, ie imperialism, corruption and the global exportation of American culture."
HE APPEARED TO BE A BIDEN SUPPORTER
Media outlets, anti-Israel activists and politicians attributed the shootings to the Hamas
 ...a regional Iranian catspaw,...
war. Everyone from Biden and Kamala on down emphasized the "Paleostinian" identities of those shot and implied that Eaton had attacked them because he was opposed to the ’Paleostinian’ cause.
In reality, Eaton supported Hamas.
On December 6, Seven Days, a local news outlet known for breaking stories about local politics, revealed that Eaton had tweeted, "the notion that Hamas is ’evil’ for defending their state from occupation is absurd. They are owed a state. Pay up."
Responding to an article about a proposed ceasefire, he wrote, "What if someone occupied your country? Wouldn’t you fight them?"
Local politicians were aware of this which is why in December a Burlington City Council resolution from Councilman Ali Dieng, an African Moslem immigrant currently running for mayor, trying to tie the shootings to an attack on Israel failed, and so did a resolution pushing the false claim that the students had been targeted because of their identity.
The latest Islamophobia hoax had fallen apart in Vermont, but still lingered nationally.
Media outlets which had rushed to spread the false claims never retracted or modified them. After a month of pushing the lie that the shootings were a response to Israel’s campaign against Hamas or to the ’Moslem’ or ’Paleostinian’ identities of the three men, the new information was not reported, acknowledged or in any way addressed by politicians and media news hounds.
NBC News, which had run an entire ’live blog’ about the shootings, pushing anti-Israel and Islamophobia narratives, did not provide an update that would have contradicted its narrative.
Even in December, NBC News still continued running articles falsely linking the shootings to the Hamas war and attacking Israel. A Dec 5 article quoted one of the men shot as spreading anti-Israel propaganda and claiming that "this is happening to Paleostinians across the country and, more importantly, in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
. We’re mad at the system that’s allowing not three of us to be injured but thousands and thousands and millions of us to be displaced and injured and killed."
PBS ran a similar article in December quoting an uncle of one of the men as contending that "even in this country, even in this town — that many of the risks that exist for my nephew and his friends in Paleostine exist for them here."
This torrent of anti-Israel and pro-terrorist propaganda was based on absolutely nothing.
There was never a single shred of evidence that the men had been targeted. And the only basis for this claim that was ever cited was that two of the men were wearing ’keffiyehs’ and speaking English and Arabic when they were shot. This entirely circumstantial information was amplified with feverish claims and rushed statements by elected officials, prosecutors and police.
The reality that has emerged is that Eaton was mentally unstable, left-leaning, opposed to America and supportive of Islamic terrorists. He was neither Jewish nor pro-Israel.
He had actually publicly stated his support for Hamas.
Eaton could not have known that the three Moslem men were going to walk past the house where he was living and it’s implausible that he would have had the time to plan such an attack.
The Moslem men were walking down the middle of a small narrow residential street with no street lights at night and Eaton would not have had enough time to realize the men passing by were Moslems, grab a gun, run out and shoot them. That’s even assuming that he had spent the whole evening by the window watching for incoming Moslems in an 87% white Vermont city.
Most likely, Eaton, suffering from an episode, stumbled out and opened fire.
Shooting four rounds at three men suggests this was not a planned mass shooting. He might have just as easily shot at anybody on the street or at nobody except the voices in his head. According to his mother and an ex-girlfriend, he had a history of violence and mental illness.
All of this was well known, yet the media instead chose to push a false anti-Israel narrative.
The Burlington shootings were far from the first Islamophobia hoax to gain a national platform.
The killings of four Moslem men in Albuquerque were initially billed as Islamophobia. Biden even issued a statement declaring that "my administration stands strongly with the Moslem community" and warned that "these hateful attacks have no place in America." The attacks were Islamophobic, but the perpetrator was a Sunni Moslem Afghan refugee who hated Shiites.
Hasan Minhaj, the Netflix Moslem comedian, was recently exposed as having made up the stories of discrimination that he had built his high-profile career around. During the campaign against Hamas, CAIR promoted a false claim that a Moslem man had been hit by a Jewish driver shouting "Kill all Paleostinians,"and "Long live Israel". Before Biden and other elected officials could issue statements, the actual perpetrator turned out to be the victim’s own brother.
And then there was the rash of Hijab snatching hate crime hoaxes across the country which included Yasmin Seweid, an 18-year-old college student in NYC, falsely claiming that three Trump supporters had tried to tear off her hijab while shouting, "take that rag off your head".
The Burlington shootings were similar to a different category of hate crime hoaxes in which a crime did occur, but the motive was misattributed to ’Islamophobia’. One was the rape and murder of Nabra Hassanen: a 17-year-old Moslem girl in Virginia by a low-IQ illegal alien MS-13 member from El Salvador after a fight with her friends. Another was a parking dispute in Chapel Hill that had nothing to do with Islam and where the shooter was a Rachel Maddow fan.
(As in Burlington, leftists and Moslems seem to shoot far more Moslems than conservatives do.)
Despite the facts of the cases, sustained pressure by Islamist groups led the authorities to brand these crimes as being ’Islamophobic’ which then allowed groups, many of them with terror ties, to claim that any criticism of Islam or Islamic terrorism would get Moslems killed.
The Burlington shootings were blatantly exploited to attack Israel and promote terrorism.
Vigils in front of City Hall and at Brown University called for the destruction of the Jewish State.
One of the men, Hisham Awartani, told the hateful mob at Brown that his shooting "did not happen in a vacuum" but that he was only "one casualty in a much wider conflict" and "had I been shot in the West Bank" and "the medical services which saved my life here would have likely been withheld by the Israeli army."
While the Burlington story has fallen apart, like the previous ’Islamophobic’ hoaxes the damage was already done. The larger purpose of Islamophobia hoaxes, like that of Islamic terrorism, is to reframe the perpetrators as the victims and to justify Islamic violence against non-Moslems.
That is why the truth matters. Islamophobia lies kill, the truth exposes the killers.
