Fatal Stabbing Of Muslim Boy Marks Increased Attacks In U.S. Over Israel-Hamas Conflict

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Reports of hate crimes and harassment targeting Muslims and Jews in the United States have increased following the ongoing deadly conflict between Israel and Hamas. A Michigan man, for instance, was charged with making a terrorism threat after he allegedly posted on social media asking if anyone in metropolitan Detroit wanted to “go to Dearborn & hunt Palestinians.” And a professor at Washington University in St. Louis was reportedly fired after posting on social media that Israel’s attacks on Gaza were a “much needed cleansing, yes, but not an ethnic one. The group gave details on 10 of those incidents, including two juveniles who allegedly pointed fake guns at a Brooklyn synagogue and graffiti in San Francisco calling for “Death 2 Israel.” The ADL told HuffPost that some of the incidents that couldn’t be verified in news reports were instead reported directly to the organization. On Sunday, the white supremacist group White Lives Matter California held a rally on a highway overpass displaying signs that said “No More Wars for I$rael” and “Watch Europa the Last Battle.” A statement from the Jewish Council For Public Affairs and signed by more than 100 Jewish groups called on all communities to fight hate targeting Muslim Americans, Arab Americans and Jewish Americans. “As Jewish leaders, we want to be very clear: we unequivocally reject those targeting our Muslim, Arab, and Palestinian American neighbors with bigotry, threats, and violence,” said Amy Spitalnick, CEO of JCPA.
