It took place just days after the war erupted in <a href="https://www.newarab.com/news/gaza-faces-uncertainty-ceasefires-first-phase-expires">Gaza</a> on October 7, 2023, when Hamas-led fighters attacked southern Israel in response to the Israeli occupation and siege of Gaza.</p> <p>Israel's subsequent war on the Gaza Strip killed over 60,000 people, mostly civilians, and left much of the territory in ruins.</p> <p>The murder of the boy, Wadee Alfayoumi, and the attack on his mother, Hanan Shaheen, was one of the earliest and worst hate crime incidents in the US since the start of the Gaza war.</p> <p>Czuba, who was the landlord for Shaheen and her son, stabbed the boy 26 times with a military-style knife with a 7-inch (18-cm) serrated blade, authorities said. Shaheen suffered multiple stab wounds in the attack that occurred in Plainfield Township, about 40 miles (64 km) southwest of Chicago.</p> <p>During the trial this week, Shaheen testified that Czuba told her "you, as a Muslim, must die".</p> <p>Michael Fitzgerald, prosecutor at Will County State's Attorney's Office, presented a 911 call's recording in the trial.</p> <p>"The landlord is killing me and my baby," Shaheen is heard saying on the audio.</p> <p>Czuba had earlier pleaded not guilty and did not testify during the trial that started on Tuesday.</p> <p>Rights advocates have noted <a href="https://www.newarab.com/news/us-teacher-leave-after-calling-palestinian-child-extremist">rising Islamophobia</a> and antisemitism in the US since October 2023.</p> <p>Other US incidents raising alarm over anti-Arab bias include the attempted drowning of a 3-year-old Palestinian American girl in Texas, the stabbing of a Palestinian American man in Texas, the beating of a Muslim man in New York, a violent mob attack on pro-Palestinian protesters in California and a Florida shooting of two Israeli visitors whom a suspect mistook to be Palestinians.</p> <p>Incidents raising alarm over antisemitism include threats of violence against Jews at Cornell University that led to a conviction and sentencing, an unsuccessful plot to attack a New York Jewish center, and physical assaults against a Jewish man in Michigan, a rabbi in Maryland and two Jewish students in Chicago.</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-dynamic-block-fieldnode-live-updates-block field--type-ds field--label-hidden field__item"><div class="views-element-container"><div class="view view-live-updates view-id-live_updates view-display-id-live_updates_block js-view-dom-id-811a2ccd25cb08e01cc0ab187ae509f364378247e3a52260c811adbf30ec4c35"> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-dynamic-block-fieldnode-related-special-files field--type-ds field--label-hidden field__item"><div class="block block-views block-views-blockspecial-files-special-files-detailed-page"> <div class="content"> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-dynamic-block-fieldnode-top-stories field--type-ds field--label-hidden field__item"><div class="views-element-container"><div class="view view-top-stories-block view-id-top_stories_block view-display-id-top_stories_block js-view-dom-id-99aace2f09228f8c2f5a0a4ec043dc8350ee7864bcf55be690505851d4dc5e82"> <div class="view-content"> <div class="views-row"><div class="top-stories-item" id="5160551"> <div class="image-content"> <div class="row bs-1col media media--type-image media--view-mode-large-16-9-without-lazy"> <div class="col-sm-12 bs-region bs-region--main"> <div class="field field--name-field-media-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <img src="/sites/default/files/styles/image_684x385/public/2201638172.jpeg?h=a5f2f23a&itok=HAdLuKPg" alt="Palestinians continue their daily lives in damaged houses and makeshift tents amidst the rubble of buildings destroyed by Israeli attacks, struggling to survive under harsh conditions following the ceasefire agreement in Khan Yunis, Gaza " typeof="Image" /> </div> </div> </div> <div class="top-stories-description"> <div class="title-content"> <a href="/news/israel-seeks-six-week-extension-gaza-truce-deadline-nears">Israel seeks six-week extension of Gaza truce as deadline nears </a> </div> <div class="read-more"> <a href="/news/israel-seeks-six-week-extension-gaza-truce-deadline-nears"> Read More</a> </div> </div> <div class="icon-content"> <img src="/themes/custom/new_arab/fav.ico" alt="New Arab"> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="views-row"><div class="top-stories-item" id="5160805"> <div class="image-content"> <div class="row bs-1col media media--type-image media--view-mode-large-16-9-without-lazy"> <div class="col-sm-12 bs-region bs-region--main"> <div class="field field--name-field-media-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <img src="/sites/default/files/styles/image_684x385/public/2184008556.jpeg?h=199d8c1f&itok=7mS-Qrhy" alt="Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi (L) and Head of the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran, Muhammad Islami (R) hold a joint press conference in Tehran, Iran on 14 November 2024.
