Florida police arrested a 27-year-old Jewish man, Mordechai Brafman, on suspicion of attempting to murder two men he believed were Palestinian. The victims were an Israeli father and son visiting from Israel.
According to investigators, Brafman overtook their car in Miami Beach, made a U-turn, exited his vehicle and fired 17 shots at them. Local authorities said Brafman didn’t know the victims and there was no prior confrontation between the sides.
Brafman drove home after the shooting and was arrested shortly after. He is charged with attempted murder. While police have not officially determined a motive, they said: “It should be noted that, while in custody in our interview room, the defendant spontaneously stated that while he was driving his truck, he saw two Palestinians and shot and killed both. The victims and the defendant do not know each other,” Police added that he told investigators he had killed them.
Brafman, a married plumber, was interviewed last year by Florida media after vandals targeted a Miami Beach bagel shop displaying an Israeli flag. “It’s just horrifying,” he said at the time. “I’d like to see more unity, for people to fight less with each other and be more together.”
You people don’t know the difference between Jewish and Israeli and it’s dangerous AF
Nottheonion requires verbatim article titles and this is the verbatim article title.
One complication is that the Zionist shooter is not Israeli but of the equally notorious Floridan descent.
I could change the word Jew in the title to Zionist if the mods are okay with that.
I think keeping unedited titles is important for this community because the main focus is the headline itself sounding like an Onion article.
Anyone can take a normal headline and make it sound ridiculous. Let’s keep this community about ridiculous headlines from professionals.
What the fuck you mean “you people?!”

That’s because the differences are completely made up very specifically to cause this kind of resentment and it scarcely matters anymore which side prefers to butter their bread face up or face down.
