Funeral in US for Palestinian-American boy killed in suspected hate crime

Al Jazeera  

Wadea Al-Fayoume, 6, was killed by a man police say targeted him and his mother because they were Muslim and Palestinian Americans. Mourners in the United States have gathered to honour Wadea Al-Fayoume, a six-year-old boy stabbed to death by a man police say targeted him and his mother because they were Muslim and Palestinian Americans. “It pains me that the sacrificial lamb to this atmosphere was this beautiful young six-year-old boy.” Hanaan Shahin, the boy’s mother, was attacked by Czuba after she said they should “pray for peace” as Israel and Palestine are engulfed in the most dire fighting in decades. “He paid the price for the atmosphere of hate.” US Attorney General Merrick Garland said the Justice Department would open a federal hate-crime investigation into the attack. “This incident cannot help but further raise the fears of Muslim, Arab, and Palestinian communities in our country with regard to hate-fueled violence,” the statement said.
