Mother of Palestinian boy killed in US says they were attacked for being Muslim
The mother of a 6-year-old Palestinian American boy killed in October 2023 in Illinois in a stabbing that authorities called a hate crime testified on Tuesday that her son's alleged attacker said they must die because they were Muslims.
The trial began on Tuesday for a killing that marked one of the earliest and worst alleged hate crime incidents in the United States since the eruption of Israel's military assault on Gaza after an October 2023 attack by Hamas.
Rights advocates have noted rising Islamophobia and antisemitism.
The family's landlord, Joseph Czuba, 73, was charged with murder and hate crimes and had earlier pleaded not guilty.
Police and prosecutors say he targeted 6-year-old Wadee Alfayoumi and his mother Hanan Shaheen for their religion and as a response to the Israel-Gaza war. Shaheen was stabbed several times but survived.
"He told me 'You, as a Muslim, must die,'" Shaheen testified, according to remarks reported by local media.
Michael Fitzgerald, prosecutor at Will County State's Attorney's Office, presented a 911 call's recording in the trial.
"The landlord is killing me and my baby," the mother said in the recording played in court, according to CBS Chicago. "I am in the bathroom waiting for you."
Czuba did not speak on Tuesday. Alfayoumi was stabbed 26 times with a military-style knife, prosecutors said.
