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.”
Hate makes you stop thinking.
Dude musta forgot he’s not in the pedo colony. You can’t just murder people cuz you think they’re indigenous here.
$3.50 says Israel whisks him back to the Colony to keep him out of jail.
I love everything about this. The Zionist bigot who wanted people to fight less and come together is going to prison because he shot at 2 other Zionists that he confused for Palestinians. All the hate being put out there by the disgusting Zionists all comes back to deliver on what they deserve. I’m no believer of Jewish mythology, but honestly, the whole concept that god abandoned and punished his people because they were a disgrace and also killed his son kinda tracks with the way they still sin to this day. What an absolute disgrance of a people.
This is the key part that makes it The Onion material:
From, https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/17/miami-shooting-israeli-men:
…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 at Israelis because he thought that they were Palestinians. Israeli victims claimed that they were victims of an “antisemitic” attack and post “death to the Arabs”.
The deeper irony is that these men were the victims of an antisemitic attack. They were targeted because they were thought to be Palestinians who are also a Semitic people and yet they seem to share the same prejudice as their attacker.
Fucking clown world.
Least deranged Jewish Trumper
Biden and Trump based their entire campaign around winning this singular person’s vote.
Biden “based his entire campaign” on what, exactly?
Blind unquestioning financial and material support for a genocide that nobody except organ harvesting pedophile colonizers wanted.
He “based his entire campaign” on that?
You might want to see a doctor for the memory issues…
That was all that mattered.
You should see a psychologist about that empathy problem of yours.
Why don’t you take a breath and re-read this conversation before you start making implications about my views.
That was all that mattered.
Right. Go fuck yourself.
I wonder if he’ll be tried as a terrorist. I feel like any other violent ideological act like this would be.
Weird way to spell pardoned
I think hate crime would be the most appropriate charge.
Those are both generally enhancements/reclassifications to a charge not charges in and of themselves. In Florida it’s “775.085 Evidencing prejudice while committing offense; reclassification.—”.
I think they may have said that because the state of Florida sought terrorism charges when a lady told a healthcare member they’d be next after the Luigi thing.
Which also seems like it’d fall more under hate, but hard to say.

That wouldn’t fall under the purview of hate-crime law I.M.O (disclaimer: I’m not a lawyer) because neither the intended nor the actual target was targeted on the basis of an identity category (ethnicity, gender, creed, race, religion, nationality). Not unless you include occupation as an identity. I don’t.
Oh was that in Florida? So much weird shit happening all the time I loose track
Idk I feel like if this had been a Muslim guy the charge would be very different but I’m no lawyer so maybe you’re right, either way it’s a fucked up story.
It should be noted that the people he shot took to social media to post “Death to Arabs”
fr, mfer you got shot because you didnt pass the
and you go post that 
The settler colonial ethnostate equivalent of, “still like truck, tho.”
Dumbass uses Hate Crime…
…
…
It hurt itself in its confusion!
The fact that they went with neither “Florida man” or “Jewish Man” but instead “Florida Jew” is just hysterical for better or for worse
“Florida Jew” reminds me of “Rare Deepwater Jew” from somethingawful.com https://www.somethingawful.com/news/fur-trapper-promise/
That’s one of my favorite memes of all time
He fired 17 times and it’s still just an injury? Oof.
Also someone needs to figure out if there’s something in Floridian drinking water.
For every 10,000 guns in America, there’s 1 person with training.
Can’t even tell if that’s a joke
It is a joke, it far overestimates the number of trained individuals…
Supposedly it not necessarily a Florida thing to be particularly crazy, just that there are fewer protections against reporting and publishing people’s names in Florida.
It’s like the US version of ‘boy, there doesn’t seem to be much rape in this country where it’s illegal for women to accuse men of rape, but there is a lot of it in the country next to it where it isn’t illegal for women to file police reports. Making it illegal to report rape must significantly decrease it!’
Yep, it’s Florida’s Government in the Sunshine law. Everything the government of the state is involved with is public, including arrests. I’d love to see it adopted nationwide.
Lead. There’s lead in the water.
Nah, this was just a Zionist being a Zionist. They’re crazy fucks. Luckily his Florida only made him a terrible shot.
“Sorry guys, I thought they were Palestinian!”
Didn’t realize that’s a valid excuse to do a murder these days
“I thought they were untermensch, honest mistake”
Apparently, one of the guys shot concluded his statement about being shot with “death to Arabs” or something to that effect, so they might just accept that excuse.
Gets shot by Zionist terrorist
“Why would Arabs do this?”
Well tbf that depends on your definition of “valid excuse.” He’s probably not getting acquitted with this defense, and even if he does that only means it worked to convince those twelve dingleberries on his jury, not that it’ll work every time.
If the president is using it, who is to stop the civilians?
You people don’t know the difference between Jewish and Israeli and it’s dangerous AF
What the fuck you mean “you people?!”
What do you mean “you people?!?”
What do you mean “you people?!”
I’m native so that card doesn’t really work on me
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.
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.
whats wrong with the air in Miami, how come the worst people on earth are always from that place.
