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.

Well I mean they’re both semites

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...

They need to add hate crime to this list of charges

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.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago

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.

The world stops for the rich.

Easy mistake

Been there done that

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 days ago (4 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 61 points 4 days ago (4 children)

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.

They live on Palestinian land, easy mistake to make.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 126 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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....

Every single person on this planet needs therapy.

Just a lil talk with a professional now and then to keep perspective, that's all most people need.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago

What a stupid fuck

[–] [email protected] 307 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (5 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 22 points 4 days ago

Isn't that a commentary on humanity. Wow.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago

name a better metaphor for our world

[–] [email protected] 200 points 4 days ago (5 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 35 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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.

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???

[–] [email protected] 37 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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.

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

Seriously... people need to stop this shit

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Semantically speaking Arabs are also semites.

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