(JTA-Times of Israel) Philissa Cramer - Payton Gendron, 18, charged with killing 10 people at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket Saturday in a predominantly Black neighborhood, was motivated by a conspiracy theory that has spurred recent deadly attacks on Jews, among others. His online manifesto says that Jews are the real problem but that "they can be dealt with in time." The "Great Replacement" theory outlined in the manifesto says Jews are responsible for non-white immigration, and that non-whites will overwhelm and wipe out the white race. Robert Bowers, who killed 11 people at Pittsburgh's Tree of Life Synagogue in 2018, cited the theory before his attack. In his manifesto, Gendron said, "The real war I'm advocating for is the gentiles vs the Jews. We outnumber them 100x, and they are not strong by themselves....The Jews are the biggest problem the Western world has ever had. They must be called out and killed....For our self-preservation, the Jews must be removed from our Western civilizations, in any way possible."
