Opinion: Arab, Palestinian and Muslim Americans are being targeted. Why isn’t Biden listening to our pleas?

LA Times  

Family members of Wadea Al-Fayoume bring his casket into a mosque in Bridgeview, Ill., on Oct. 16. In recent weeks, the Arab and Palestinian American communities have been thrust into a turbulent sea of increased hate, discrimination and violent attacks, reminiscent of the dark days following Sept. 11, 2001. Many of these campaigns are calculated and connected, targeting not only Palestinian and Arab voices, but also those who simply speak up for Palestinian rights, including Muslim Americans. We, as well as other advocacy groups and organizations, have documented racist verbal attacks extending beyond isolated incidents: university staff targeting students; K-12 students facing backlash, intimidation and dehumanizing language by other students, teachers and school boards; homes being shot at, protesters being physically assaulted and community members facing threats; and targeting in the workplace. But this approach is limiting: “Islamophobia” is a broad term that doesn’t have to necessarily include Arab or Palestinian voices, and could mean the administration wouldn’t have to meet with Arab and Palestinian groups, specifically.
