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

[-] Windex007@lemmy.world 199 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 160 points 2 weeks ago

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???

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 37 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] Semjaza@lemmynsfw.com 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 36 points 2 weeks ago

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

Seriously... people need to stop this shit

[-] skhayfa@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

Semantically speaking Arabs are also semites.

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 8 points 1 week ago

You mean semetically speaking

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.

Spider man meme moment

[-] butwhyishischinabook@lemmy.world 36 points 2 weeks ago

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.

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

[-] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 127 points 2 weeks ago

The fact that he could not tell them apart should be a huge fucking wake up call that we are all just human beings trying to live our lives. But sadly bigotry isn’t rational so they won’t come to a rational conclusion.

[-] liquidthex@reddthat.com 8 points 2 weeks ago

When does our wake-up call come that this behavior, which keeps happening, over and over? Is also human nature. Like, we want to blame the leaders, and it is their fault...but not exclusively. We have parts of our nature we're unwilling to address. We want to cut it out like a cancer, which sounds great..but it's not a tumor.. it's everywhere...every country, every society... everywhere....

This insane headline kind of implies that it would have all been unreportable if the two tourists were actual Palestinians. It's more news worthy because the Jewish guy shot at Israelis rather than actual Palestinians.

[-] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 62 points 2 weeks ago

An hour ago, Israelis attacked an ambulance crew in Jenin who were trying to reach a wounded man.

Four hours ago, they shot a man south of Nablus City.

Five hours ago, their fighter jets fired on several "suspicious" vehicles in Gaza.

None of that was news. These two guys getting shot, and then presumably getting instant medical treatment and someone immediately stepping in to make sure the attacker was brought to justice, was. Because it's out of the ordinary, because Israel isn't in charge of where it happened.

This is exactly what "blinded by hate" refers to. He wasn't attacked, he was not in any danger, he simply decided to attempt murdering people because they dared to exist in the same approximate space. This is how much he hates "those people" - that he felt justified in killing them on sight with zero provocation...

[-] metaStatic@kbin.earth 50 points 2 weeks ago

They live on Palestinian land, easy mistake to make.

[-] nomy@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 weeks ago

That's the trick to surviving genocidal regimes, you gotta be where they're not.

The arabs and the jews hate each other. The blacks and the whites hate each other. The japanese hate all outsiders. The russians just hate. Just everybody.

Then there's the religious wars. The land expansion wars. The "fuck you for shooting my pig" war. (No really, that happened. Although my description is a bit......oversimplified.)

You got all these wars, all these murders, all this hate. Now the shootings are happening from kids at school. Hate from pre-puberty until you reach your casket. However fast that may be.

And who does the capybara hate? Nobody. Capybara doesn't give a shit. Don't bring your BS hate around capybara. Capybarais gonna chill with some ducks, or some cats, or some cows. Whoever, man! Capybara does not give a FUCK. He's just here to chill, and you can chill too, or you can get the fuck out. Capybara brings the chill, and humans should learn from that.

If you ever find yourself about to kill another person, for any reason besides LEGITIMATE self-defense, then you're an asshole.

Unless they're a billionaire. Pretty sure all of them have it coming for the misery they willfully inflict on others for profit.

[-] PanArab@lemm.ee 13 points 1 week ago

We don't hate Jews. We are reacting to violent settler-colonialism done in the name of Judaism. When Israel conflates Zionism with Judaism you can't expect Palestinians or the rest of the Arab and Muslim world to be nuanced.

If you read the writings of Jabotinsky and other Zionist founders, they knew very well how Palestinians would react to settler-colonialism and expulsion. No different than the Zulu, Lakota, Papuans and other indigenous people who fought the invaders.

How come there are no crazy people shooting at rich people going "I saw two rich fucks. I shot and killed both"? The rich have a direct impact on the country and Palestinians have trouble even visiting it, yet somehow Palestinians are the bigger threat.

[-] distantsounds@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

The world stops for the rich.

I mean, one guy did exactly that and they had every cop in the country looking for him for weeks until they got him. And now they're trying to charge him for terrorism.

So if they HAD been Palestinians, did the Miami attempted murderer think he’d be let off the hook? Someone help me understand!

I mean, wouldn't surprise me if that was the expectation and if that would actually be the result. Just claim you thought they were Hamas and you feared for your life, and the Florida stand your ground law would apply.

Zionists trying to kill members of the ethnicity they claim to represent for "not being White enough".

It's the natural evolution of all Nazi-like white supremacist movements.

Florida man strikes again.

Also...why is the Miami Beach squad car painted in rainbow colors? That can't be their regular logo.

Ah. Apparently this is an ongoing thing in Miami Beach PD of which I had been unaware.

The rainbow police car

Miami Beach also has a patrol car with "POLICE" decorated in rainbow hues. The Ford Crown Victoria is used at community events such as the annual Miami Beach Pride festivities on Ocean Drive.. (Photo below from Miami Beach PD)

Miami PD joins Pride trend with rainbow coloured car

Officers from the Miami Police Department joined the Pride trend with a rainbow-coloured car.

Footage shows the cops with the event-goers doing a countdown to reveal the patrol car that was repainted for the day on June 4.

It sounds like it mostly has media on the right upset.

I have no idea why The Guardian is using the image, but maybe they just searched for "miami police" to get a stock filler image and slapped the first thing that came up into their article.

[-] Dil@is.hardlywork.ing 6 points 2 weeks ago

They want the brown ppl scared to go outside, now were just more likely to get concealed carry permits
