        I was confused when you said Israel wasn’t in charge. You know, based on current events.

          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.”
