Be nice to know if they were attacked specifically because they were "Westerners" or just because they were Jews.

"Police said those killed were all immigrants to Israel and held dual citizenship."
Call me an evil racist but... They were Israeli citizens as well, so moreso locals than Westerners. If Palestinians hacked up American tourists, we should respond with air strikes, freezing their assets, sanctions, salting the earth, et al. An American passport should make the local warlords, criminals, terrorists, blah blah cringe, firmly apologize for the inconvenience and go hack up someone else. I have no issue with anything that accomplishes or furthers that goal.
If anyone that permanently moves to a troublespot and gets citizenship there? Meh, their choice. We should stay out of it. Same for any American that chose to get themselves too involved with the locals.

More peaceful non-violent leftist activists.

I think "American citizen Jews in Israel" are about as common as ethnic minorities in any big American city, so I'm guessing coincidence or "well yeah" on their citizenship, and that being religious Jews in Jerusalem is the biggest factor of their being targeted for murder.
I did like to see the Jewish support that was shown at the funeral for the Arab police officer who was murdered in the attack.
