Couldn't make it up. A man goes on a shooting spree in Miami beach, targeting 2 people he thought were palastinian/Arabs. Turns out they were Israeli/zionists and then the 'victims' go onto social media claiming hey were targeted for being Jews, and using the phrase 'death to Arabs' confused

Definitely sounds made up, or heavily embellished.

None of that matters though as the usual soapbox jockeys will be along soon to dictate to us all what we should think about this article and every one involved.

This is only getting reported because of the gunmans incompetence and stupidity. If the victims had actually been Palestinian, then the story likely wouldn't have the same traction. The real story is that there are plenty of people out there so polarised and radicalised that they'll happily shoot at innocent people they think are the enemy. Apparently no interaction between the gunman and victims - there will be more of this as people are made increasingly more angry and scared by their politicians...

Agree. Made up or a shed load of missing information.
