Slavin said the incidents are occurring in workplaces, schools and public spaces, with individuals facing consequences for expressing solidarity with Gaza and Palestine. On a recent attack on a Palestinian-owned cafe in the residential area of Uptown, she said the Chicago Police Department initially declined to classify the incident as a hate crime.
When the FBI shows up at people's doors, they are frightened and call CAIR to ask what to do, Slavin said."We haven't seen anything like that," she noted."That's kind of a very scary new thing that's happening."
