With everything going on in this country, this is what he’s concerned about? Israel has won the war and will likely take Gaza and displace all the residents. What more does he want by hurting Palestinians?

plotjes.bsky.social•105 days ago

He shot 17 times and only two shots grazed the victims, who posted 'death to arabs' afterwards. Thinking - just like the shooter - the other party was Palestinian. What a bunch of losers.

kategodart.bsky.social•105 days ago

kind of a wrought time in our country to be visiting right now, might be a lil bit of a sign to stay away for health and safety

pucci28.bsky.social•105 days ago

WTF!???

n39471v3cr33p.bsky.social•105 days ago

this needs to be handled as a hate crime — because it is a hate crime; even if the intended targets and actual victims don't match up, the deep ethno-religious/racial hatred fueling the attack is plain for all to see.

n39471v3cr33p.bsky.social•105 days ago

this. world. is. sick.

amerikan years of lead is getting really bad, no jokes, this just sucks

nashvillez.bsky.social•104 days ago

not a surprise. at this point not a fan of either hamas or Israel. i do feel sorry for Palestinians not part of hamas and Israelis who dont support Netanyahu

cozca.bsky.social•105 days ago

Death threats are increasing from MAGA extremists too.

whpshw.bsky.social•105 days ago

Apparently, one of the victims wrote “death to Arabs” after the shooting lol

dconrad.bsky.social•105 days ago

I wish you wouldn't use this image, Brian. It's from a viciously transphobic joke.

whpshw.bsky.social•105 days ago

Ah, I didn’t realize. Apologies. I just knew it as a context-free meme.

dconrad.bsky.social•105 days ago

That's okay, that's why I wanted to let you know. I'm sure a lot of people are unfamiliar with its origin. Cheers.

themilfmag.net•105 days ago

yup i just learned yesterday

olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social•105 days ago

man it might be time for me to go to bed

ncalcote.bsky.social•105 days ago

Both victims asked for all charges to be dropped, stating “this is the kind of guy we want in the West Bank”

awfullycrispy.bsky.social•105 days ago

Do you have a source for this? Their responses seem to be the opposite of this

https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/israeli-man-speaks-out-after-surviving-miami-beach-shooting/

ncalcote.bsky.social•105 days ago

Obviously I made up the quote, but the sentiment comes from the guardian reporting in the original article

awfullycrispy.bsky.social•105 days ago

Ah I see what you mean. I guess they told different publications different things

Who knows with zionists tbh

sjkramer.bsky.social•103 days ago

No. The quote isn’t real, it’s a shitty attempt at a joke. Oh aren’t we all so amusing!

awfullycrispy.bsky.social•103 days ago

I mean, it's basically real. I just missed that detail in the article and found somewhere else that I thought contradicted it

damemyniah.bsky.social•105 days ago

He knows it still would have been a crime if they really were Palestinians, right? We all know that, right??

joulesbyrne.bsky.social•105 days ago

It's an honest mistake. They were from Palestine.

replyguyincognito.bsky.social•105 days ago

The ADL is going to blame campus protesters for this

Florida man strikes again.

farhanasultana.com•105 days ago

Bet the shooter served in the IDF and the violent mindset is showing itself

toomanypigeons.bsky.social•105 days ago

The shooter is described as being from Florida. It’s possible but not a good bet imo.

farhanasultana.com•105 days ago

Didn’t it say he was a tourist?

kendrawrites.com•105 days ago

No the people he shot were tourists.

liberalforareason.bsky.social•105 days ago

From Israel and they are jewish.

toomanypigeons.bsky.social•105 days ago

No, the victims were Israeli tourists.

rdurham.bsky.social•105 days ago

He’ll never in hell be convicted. I mean, he thought they were Palestinian.

suraxx.bsky.social•105 days ago

I swear it’s right out of the onion but nope.

slooterman.bsky.social•103 days ago

There’s been a push in some Modern Orthodox and otherwise right-leaning Jewish American communities to start carrying in the past few years. Seems like that’s maybe turning out well.

lilinravenholm.bsky.social•105 days ago

And this is why Zionism is the real antisemitism, senseless hate crimes like this.

Welcome to Trump’s America

lindseymurray.bsky.social•105 days ago

To be fair, it’s America any old time.

They love their guns.

jilipollasdemierda.bsky.social•105 days ago

If the federal government wants to be seen as applying the law equally the shooter needs to be charged with federal hate crimes and charged with terroristic crimes also.

srossmktg.com•105 days ago

A case of mistaken bigotry.

greatemuwarvet.bsky.social•105 days ago

It gets nuttier. Shooter was quoted on local news in late 2023 lamenting “divisiveness” after a bagel shop was vandalized. https://wsvn.com/news/local/miami-dade/its-crazy-miami-beach-shooting-victim-speaks-out-after-man-shoots-at-their-car-described-them-as-2-palestinians/

halftongue.bsky.social•105 days ago

The younger victim is also a shithead. He posted "death to the Arabs" before finding out the shooter was a fellow a) Jew and b) asshole.

When you hate Palestinians so much you shoot at your fellow Jews, maybe it's time to rethink your life choices.

boomer-michael.bsky.social•105 days ago

And make guns less easy to acquire.

accidental good guy?

rainbowed cop car photo for maximal surrealism

chanda.bsky.social•105 days ago

I am so fascinated by how this is being reported, bc apparently the shooter is also Israeli, but he is a white Ashkenazi & the victims are visibly not

So it’s a racist hate crime in two different racial organizing structures across two empires and three countries depending on how you’re counting

toomanypigeons.bsky.social•105 days ago

Do you have a source for the shooter being Israeli? All I’ve found is that the shooter had been living in Florida for at least a year.

chanda.bsky.social•105 days ago

I can’t remember which article I saw it in but I said apparently because I totally think the information could change

slooterman.bsky.social•103 days ago

The shooter is not Israeli. He’s just regular degular Jewish American.

slooterman.bsky.social•103 days ago

To be honest, I find the seemingly widespread assumption that the shooter is Israeli or even Israeli-American in antizionist circles a little baffling. As far as I can tell, no article reported that. But I’ve seen lots of people online claim it.

chanda.bsky.social•103 days ago

Well that’s not an assumption I made. The very first post I made about this (which got wide circulation) said that he was a Jewish American. Even here I still said “apparently,” because I did not feel I could make the statement without that qualification.

toomanypigeons.bsky.social•105 days ago

Not definitive of course but his accent is American in this video https://wsvn.com/news/local/miami-dade/miami-beach-bagel-shop-faces-3rd-act-of-hatred-after-surveillance-video-captures-man-tearing-down-stealing-american-flag/
