TLDR; Jewish Florida Man shoots 2 Jewish Israelis, both sides blame it on Arabs.

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 201 points 3 days ago (5 children)

Literally the victims and the perpetrator both were advocating for the indiscriminate murder of Arabs. The hate is mind boggling.

Context from the article:

Further complicating the incident, one of the injured men reportedly posted “death to the Arabs” in a message on social media after the shooting. “My father and I went through a murder attempt against antisemitic background,” he wrote.

Jewish man shoots two Jewish men because he thought they were Palestinians. Shooting victims think they were shot by Arabs because they're Jewish. How could Arabs do this???

I mean, it tracks with how many of the victims of the Oct 7 attack were blown up by IDF tanks and helicopters. It's telling that you still can't find a breakdown of how many Israelis were killed by Hamas and how many by the IDF.

And the fact that apparently IDF was ordered to Hannibal Protocol even civilians shortly after the attack began.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 36 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Well, now he's been through a murder attempt for both antisemitic and pro-semitic reasons, each.

Seriously... people need to stop this shit

Zionism has been in bed with Antisemitism a long time. It uses antisemitic attacks on Jews, who dont want to be affiliated with it and it deliberately ramps up Antisemitism outside of Israel to push for Jews feeling the need for a "safe state".

Some Jewish scholars and Antizionists consider Zionism to be the second worst detriment to Judaism since the time of the Romans.

Semantically speaking Arabs are also semites.

Spider man meme moment

I live near there and have to drive down the highway and look at billboards about how hard it is to be Jewish and like, I know that antisemitism is a serious problem but then these racist fuckers are around any corner and they reeeeeeeeeally undermine the message those billboards are trying to get across. Can't help but roll my eyes driving by those after reading about this, but maybe it's because I happen to live near a lot of very conservative Israelis who are constantly advocating for genocide while whining about how they're always victimized.

Perhaps we should all make love

(Satirical)

How can it be indiscriminate when they're discriminating while doing it ??2? Checkmate liberal.

Fascists always eat themselves in the end.

Can we skip to that part? The beginning sucked, and this whole "middle" thing is even worse.
