He Thought They Were Palestinian. He Shot Them 17 Times. Now He’s the Victim?
An American Zionist shooter confesses he tried to kill two Palestinians—turns out they were Israelis. The media rewrites the story, and the victims call it antisemitism.
If a Palestinian had fired 17 shots at two Israelis, this story would be everywhere—so why is no one talking about it?
This past weekend, Mordechai Brafman, a 27-year-old Miami resident, saw two men in a car and, by his own admission, assumed they were Palestinian. So he did what Zionist indoctrination trained him to do—he shot at them. Seventeen times.
He didn’t kill anyone. He didn’t even manage to hit his “intended” targets. But let’s take a moment to imagine if he had. Imagine if this was a Palestinian man who spotted two men he thought were Israeli, stopped his car, pulled out his gun, and emptied a clip. Imagine the media coverage.
The “terrorism” label would have been applied before the shell casings hit the ground. The White House press secretary would be at the podium, trembling with urgency. The FBI would have already expanded its surveillance program. Lindsey Graham would be choking on his own crocodile tears.
Here’s what actually happened. Brafman—a Zionist fanatic—fired 17 rounds, hitting two people. Only, as fate would have it, his victims were not Palestinian. They were Jewish Israelis. And here is where the story gets interesting.
Instead of acknowledging the obvious—that violent Zionism has become so unhinged it’s now attacking itself—the victims and their supporters did something remarkable: they rewrote the story. They called the attack antisemitic.
Yes, you read that correctly. Brafman, who fired his weapon explicitly because he thought he was targeting Palestinians, has now been accused of committing an antisemitic hate crime. Because in America, an act of violence isn’t judged by what happened, but by who the victims turned out to be.
A Convenient Omission
Most mainstream news reports have left out the most revealing part of this story: that a Zionist radical attempted to kill two people he thought were Palestinian and, upon realizing his mistake, the victims twisted the attack into a case of antisemitism. They did so with the full cooperation of the media.
