Three Palestinian men shot in Vermont in possible hate crime, US authorities say
Not sure this is actually War on Terror. If subsequent information so indicates, this article will be moved to Lurid Crimes on Page 3: Non-WoT.
[IsraelTimes] Shooter, a white man with a handgun who fired ’without speaking,’ expeditiously departed at a goodly pace; two of the victims were wearing black-and-white Paleostinian keffiyehs
That is, of course, an alleged white man. Unless and until convicted of the proper skin colour, we cannot know what shade he presents as ... or actually self-defines as, not to mention whether he self-defines or presents as male.
Three young Paleostinian men were shot and injured in Burlington, Vermont, on Saturday while in the city for a Thanksgiving holiday gathering, in what may have been a hate crime, US authorities said Sunday.

One of the three was seriously hurt in the shooting near the University of Vermont.

The shooter has been identified only as a white man with a handgun, who, "without speaking... discharged at least four rounds" at the victims" before fleeing the scene, Burlington Police Chief Jon Murad said in a statement.

Murad said all three victims were of Paleostinian descent. Two are US citizens and one is a legal resident. Two of the men were wearing black-and-white Paleostinian keffiyeh scarves.

"The fact is that we don’t yet know as much as we want to right now. But I urge the public to avoid making conclusions based on statements from uninvolved parties who know even less," Murad said.

The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee appeared more confident that the shooting was racially motivated, saying in a statement that the victims were Paleostinian American college students and that there was "reason to believe this shooting occurred because the victims are Arab."

The man shouted and harassed the victims, who were conversing in Arabic, then proceeded to shoot them, ADC said, in an apparent contradiction to the report that he shot without speaking.

The outbreak of the Israel-Hamas
...a regional Iranian catspaw,...
war — sparked by an onslaught by Hamas Death Eaters on southern Israel on October 7 in which over 1,200 people, most of them civilians, were slaughtered — has seen a major uptick in antisemitism in the US and around the world but Islamophobia
...the irrational fear that Moslems will act the way they usually do...
has also been on the rise as well. Last month, a 6-year-old Paleostinian-American boy was killed and his mother was maimed when a man entered their Illinois home and opened fire, targeting them because of their heritage, police said.

An FBI spokesperson said the agency was in touch with local law enforcement about Saturday’s incident in Vermont and was prepared to open its own probe if "information comes to light of a potential federal violation."

The Council on American-Islamic Relations
... the Moslem Brüderbund's American arm ...
has offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest or conviction of the person or people responsible for the shootings, the organization said in a statement.

The White House said US President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. The very model of probity....
had been briefed on the incident and Bernie Sanders
...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being an Independent socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around...
— one of Vermont’s two US senators — condemned the "shocking and deeply upsetting" attack, saying he "looks forward to a full investigation."

Anybody who shoots at Palestinians is Zionist. Zionism = Nazism. Nazis are White.

Never telegraph your intent. Just aim and take the shot. Lookit what you done now, they're just injured.

#5 DM: Vermont shooting suspect Jason J. Eaton, 48, is arrested in attack. Drat. I was really hoping for a Somali.

#6 Since Palestinians are top of the Oppressed Piramid nowadays, expect a major news event - just like the stabbing of a 6 year old "Palestinian" (by a landlord) in Chicago in October.

Shot while engaged in terrorism I am ok with.

Shot while engaged in violent actions I am ok with.

But we must remember we are still America and not stoop to their 3rd world levels.

A simple NYC alley style mugging was all that was called for. ☺

#8 Yeah, a few Sikhs were killed after 9/11 here in the US. They were guilty only of wearing turbans.

#10 Sikhs turbans are always very carefully wrapped as it is part of their prayer life to do so. Some I've seen are works of art.

Turbans worn by other groups are shoddy in comparison.

#12 Perhaps Mr. Eaton objects to private school students. From Tolo News:

The families identified the victims as Hisham Awartani, a student at Brown University in Rhode Island; Kinnan Abdel Hamid, a student at Haverford College in Pennsylvania; and Tahseen Ahmed, who attends Trinity College in Connecticut. All three are graduates of the Ramallah Friends School, a private Quaker secondary school in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, the families said.

Two of the students were visiting the home of the third student's family in Burlington for the Thanksgiving holiday.
Police said all three remained under medical care on Sunday, two with gunshot wounds in their torsos and one shot in the lower extremities. "Two are stable, while one has sustained much more serious injuries," police said.

"Vermont?" An Islamophobe thought,
"But where were they actually shot,
Anatomically speaking?
These martyrdom-seeking
Young Moslems are easily bought."
