When it comes to unprovoked assault brought by nonsensical hatecrimes, it is expected that there's alot of these in the United States and the usual culprits, well off course - the stupid white Americans 

One of the latest nonsensical hatecrimes that occurred in the United States has something to do with Israel-Hamas conflict and as usual the attack was unprovoked carried out by a middle-aged white man in Vermont.

Jason Eaton has been charged with attempted murder after he shot 3 Palestinian students in what police consider to be a crime motivated by hatred, though prosecutors say there is not yet sufficient evidence to formally charge him with a hate crime.

An American man on Monday was charged with attempted murder in Vermont over the shooting of three men of Palestinian descent, in a crime authorities described as an act of hatred.

Vermont state attorney Sarah George said there was not yet sufficient evidence to support a hate crime enhancement of the charges against the suspect, identified as Jason Eaton, 48.

But "I do want to be clear," George told reporters in Burlington, the northeastern US city where the shooting occurred. "There is no question this was a hateful act."

Police said the gunman stepped off a front porch and -- "unprovoked" -- opened fire on the three college students as they walked together Saturday on a city block.

The attack comes during heightened tensions in the United States over the Israel-Hamas war. College campuses and other locations have seen mounting threats and incidents of violence including acts of Islamophobia and anti-Semitism.
