While in custody, Brafman spontaneously told detectives that while he was driving his truck, “he saw two Palestinians and shot and killed both”, arrest documents said.

Further complicating the incident, 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.

        This isn’t about tensions. The horrible people involved in this incident would have been horrible regardless of the political situation. They just have an excuse to make it acceptable at the moment.
