The Miami-Dade County Corrections Department website says the suspect, 27-year-old Mordechai Brafman, has been charged with two counts of attempted murder and was taken into custody Sunday in connection with the Saturday shooting.
A police official confirmed earlier reports from local media that Brafman told police during questioning that while driving his truck in Miami Beach, he saw two people he believed were Palestinians, stopped them and shot and killed them.
They survived the incident. Police officials said one was shot in the shoulder and the other in the forearm. They turned out to be Israeli visitors, not Palestinians.
Human rights advocates say there has been a surge in anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian hatred and anti-Semitism in the United States since Israel, a U.S. ally, began its war on the Gaza Strip following an attack by the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023.
I cannot believe that this news of a cold murder attempt, reported by Annahar, a Lebanese leading newspaper, copied from Reuters, and heard once on national news, then totally suppressed and pulled out of the news and stored away, again I wonder, who decides what to be told to the public or not, and what's safe and suitable news and what's not ??? A repeating occurrence that is not comfortable and not compatible with liberty and the free press.
My many thanks to all.
