Murder of Palestinian child in Plainfield highlights hate crimes, fears of community
"The incident in Plainfield is both continuation and intensification of anti-Palestinian and anti-Arab racist acts that have been invisibilized most people don't know these incidents are going on every day in Chicagoland."

"Before a Palestinian boy was murdered in Plainfield over the weekend, Palestinian, Arab and Muslim communities warned about a rise in hate rhetoric and its impact in response to the war between Israel and Hamas. Then, their worst fear happened. Prosecutors said Joseph Czuba, 71, stabbed 6-year-old Wadea Al-Fayoume 26 times in an attack targeting him and his mother, 32-year-old Hanaan Shahin, because of their religion and nationality. Wadea was laid to rest Monday, and Shahin is in the hospital recovering.
The racist rhetoric is intensified, she said, because of how the discussion of Palestine and Israel is framed by politicians and in news media. "This did not have to be this way," she added. "It was a choice made over the last eight to nine days, by political leadership and members of the press, to give Israel a complete unaccountable monopoly over the narrative and the framework of what's happening in the region."
I am pretty sure the story itself has been posted; but this is more about why the man who did the stabbing isn't considered a hero? At least, he should definitely be hailed as a hero by Israel....you would think there is some pressure they can place on authorities here to allow this man to go free. As I have mentioned before, genocide is the only way to peace, but not just for Israel, but for anywhere that we have Hamas...and if you say this little boy and his mother isn't Hamas, then who are they? How can we be so sure that this kid was not going to be a member of Hamas? Because he lives in the US? That is the goal of Palestinians....try to spread their hatred all over the world.
Now, I personally seen people on this very message board calling this guy a hero, and calling for the genocide of Palestinians, which feels like a good idea - but there is a difference between just shitposting from the comfort of your home or basement....you can't take out Hamas by shitposting...you have to have the balls to do what Joseph did. Will you join him in the fight and do your part to take out these Palestinians who may be lurking in your own neighborhood?
