Authorities say the conflict between Israel and Hamas was a factor in the killing of a 6-year-old Palestinian American boy in Illinois who was stabbed 26 times.
The home in Plainfield, Ill., where a 6-year-old boy was killed and a woman critically injured in an attack that authorities described as a hate crime. For the past two years, relatives recalled, Joseph Czuba was kind to the Palestinian mother and her young son who were renting part of his house in Plainfield, Ill., about a half-hour outside of Chicago.The 71-year-old landlord built the boy a treehouse, let him use a swimming pool and bought him toys, the child’s relatives said.
When authorities arrived, Czuba was sitting upright outside on the ground near the driveway of the residence with a laceration to his forehead, according to the sheriff’s office. He was taken to a hospital for treatment but did not make any statements to detectives when later questioned, the sheriff’s office added.
The brutality of the latest outbreak of warfare has unleashed language from all sides that is so hateful and dehumanizing that it has shocked even longtime observers of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. International peace activists repeatedly have warned that the ugly rhetoric could inspire violent retaliations in the United States, citing dark precedents such as the targeting of Muslims after the Sept.
The Palestinian tenants had seen the signs but did not understand their symbolism and had not experienced the landlord’s extremist side until recently, said Yousef Hannon, an uncle and family spokesman who was sitting with the slain child’s father, Odai Alfayoumi, during a phone interview.Wadea was born in the United States to Palestinian parents who moved here more than a decade ago and have since divorced.
