Anti-Semitic Shooting at Houston Megachurch Linked to Israel-Hamas Conflict

The shooter, identified as Genesse Ivonne Moreno, targeted Lakewood Church, known for its pro-Israel stance, amid global anti-Semitic incidents.

Genesse Ivonne Moreno, armed with a rifle marked 'Palestine,' opened fire at Lakewood Church, injuring one before being fatally shot by security.
Moreno's attack is seen as part of a surge in anti-Semitism linked to the Israel-Hamas war, despite media hesitation to attribute a clear motive.
Evidence of Moreno's anti-Semitic views was found, including writings and the 'Palestine' sticker on her rifle, pointing to a politically motivated attack.
Despite a history of mental illness and legal access to firearms, Moreno's actions raise questions about the media's coverage of politically motivated violence.
The incident has reignited debates over gun laws and the handling of individuals with known mental health issues and criminal backgrounds.
