Hamas's sudden attack on Oct. 7 and Israel's continued retaliatory attacks in Gaza have shocked the world, sparking reactions from fear to empathy and even hate.
BOULDER, Colo. — The continued fighting between Israel and Hamas is giving rise to hateful rhetoric and attacks around the world and around the U.S.
"But here in the United States, it's very concerning. I'm not so much worried only about the people who are spreading all kinds of rumors on social media," said Nabil Echchaibi, Director of the Center for Media, Religion and Culture at the University of Colorado Boulder."I'm worried about when politicians pick up those rumors and then run with them."
"These are senators who are using language and rhetoric that they know is inflammatory, is incendiary but they continue doing it. And it continues. Marco Rubio said respond disproportionately. Nikki Haley said finish them. Governor DeSantis said all Palestinians are anti-Semitic," Echchaibi said.“When a conflict like this, of this proportion, of this magnitude erupts like this, we need cooler heads to be able to contain this situation.
Echchaibi said unless this Islamophobic and anti-Semitic rhetoric is tamped down, it can not only dehumanize people but it could embolden others to commit even more hate crimes.
