    An hour ago, Israelis attacked an ambulance crew in Jenin who were trying to reach a wounded man.

    Four hours ago, they shot a man south of Nablus City.

    Five hours ago, their fighter jets fired on several “suspicious” vehicles in Gaza.

    None of that was news. These two guys getting shot, and then presumably getting instant medical treatment and someone immediately stepping in to make sure the attacker was brought to justice, was. Because it’s out of the ordinary, because Israel isn’t in charge of where it happened.

            Let me rephrase: The thought process, “Oh shit! Palestinian civilians minding their own business! Let me get my gun and shoot them” is perfectly normal in Israel. It’s only unusual and came with consequences this time because it happened in America.

            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.

            Presumably, he fully expected the detectives to say, “Oh okay, got it. Carry on.”
