On Saturday night, two Palestinian brothers whose car was having some problems were hit by an Israeli car, which killed them.
Immediately, Palestinian leaders and Arab and Muslim media accused the Israeli "settler" of "deliberately" ramming the car into them to kill them. Gruesome video of the dead brothers sprawled on the road incited Palestinian hate. Palestinian leaders called for an investigation for what they already determined was a deliberate double murder.
It was clearly not deliberate. It was a hit and run accident.
The Jerusalem Post shows photos of the car, heavily damaged and pushed into a ditch so hard it was on its side.
Here's a classic case of psychological projection.
Palestinians ram their (expensive) cars into Jews, not worried about the damage to the car, for two reasons: it is easier to get closer to the victim than with shooting, and because they don't expect to survive the incident - if they are killed during the attempt, they don't care about damage to the car.
Israelis have no incentive to crash their cars into another car - heavily damaging their own. They don't risk their lives (or even their property) to attack Palestinians. That's something only Palestinians do.
My guess is that the driver didn't see the brothers on the road, crashed into them, panicked, crashed into their car pushing it into the ditch and then drove away.
Israeli police are assuming it was an accident based on their initial evaluation.
The immediate rush to judgment by the Palestinians, accusing Jews of acting towards Palestinians the way Palestinians act towards Israelis, is another manifestation of antisemitism.
