The war between Israel and Hamas is raising fears about rising hostility across the United States
A treehouse sits in the backyard of a home where a landlord stabbed a 6-year-old boy to death and seriously injured his 32-year-old mother Saturday after targeting them because they were Muslim, shown Sunday, Oct. 15, 2023, in Plainfield, Ill. According to the Will County Sheriff's Office the man was upset about the ongoing conflict involving Hamas and Israel.
Civil rights organizations, however, believe that even before the Hamas attacks in Israel, crime data didn’t reflect reality due to a lack of participation by local police departments and internalized fear among the Muslim population, said Robert McCaw, director of governmental affairs for the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
In Dearborn, Michigan, which has the nation’s highest Muslim population per capita, community and faith leaders met outside the city’s police department Monday. The city has seen multiple threats of violence in recent days, including from a man accused of asking on social media if anyone in metro Detroit wanted to “go to Dearborn & hunt Palestinians.”
In California last week, flyers spreading anti-Jewish rhetoric were left in neighborhoods and on vehicles in the city of Orange. And in Fresno, police said a man suspected of breaking windows and leaving an anti-Jewish note at a bakery also is a “person of interest” in the vandalism of a local synagogue.
