Two Men get Shot at 17 Times for Looking Palestinian
And the story just gets weirder from there....
A shocking incident unfolded in Florida, where Mordechai Brafman, a self-proclaimed Israel fanatic, opened fire on two men after reportedly mistakenly believing they were Palestinian. He fired his gun 17 times and miraculously didn’t kill either men.

Brafman thought that he had killed both individuals, but both survived. Undeterred by the outcome, he returned to his truck and drove back to his house as if nothing had happened. He confessed to the crime, claiming he had shot and “killed two Palestinian people.” He was then arrested and charged with two counts of second-degree attempted murder.
Reports that the victims were Israeli
Although I have not been able to verify this independently, a Facebook post is circulating across social media that one of the alleged victims of the shooting has made.
In the post, the son claims to be Israeli, saying that the attempted murder was “anti-Semitic” and that they wish for the death of all Arabs.
Assuming that this post is the two victims of this shooting, it’s a very distorted point of view, given that the shooter reportedly claimed that he deliberately “shot Palestinians” without any verification or justification.

Wrapping it up…
The violent incident in Florida involving Mordechai Brafman highlights the dangerous consequences of mistaken identity and the tensions surrounding ethnic and political conflicts. Brafman, driven by his mistaken belief that he was targeting Palestinians, opened fire on two men, narrowly missing their deaths.
Whether or not the victims were Palestinian or Israeli, the incident underscores the need for greater understanding and dialogue to combat violence rooted in racial and political divisions. It serves as a reminder that such acts of violence are not just isolated events but part of a much larger, systemic problem.
This isn’t the first time anti-arab hate was close to claiming a life, and it won’t be the last. It is crucial for society to address these tensions, confront hate speech, and work toward a more peaceful coexistence.
Constant, constant, constant.
