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.

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.
