After two men targeted as “Palestinians” were shot on Miami Beach, national and local Muslim organizations are calling on political leaders to condemn the attack and prosecute it as a hate crime. They point to the weekend incident as the latest example in a surge of anti-Arab and anti-Muslim incidents, including in South Florida.

Mordechai Brafman opened fire at the two victims who he described to police as “two Palestinians.” The shooting occurred in Miami Beach on Saturday.
