weekend a Palestinian-Illinois child. Several incidents have been reported in our area. Mariela Salgado has the complaints from the Muslim community in New Jersey. Mariela: The flag will fly freely in this small town, but Mika says that walking with her scarf has become a danger since the war broke out in the Middle East>> It’s terrifying, it terrifies me to hear so many lies. I feel good in that Palestinian community, but if I go somewhere else, like Montclair or New York, I feel unsafe. Mariela: not only were the civilians Arabs, white and full of hatred. Today the Palestinian American community center reported that several anti-Arab attacks have occurred in the state. They stop people who are targeted because they are Palestinians, Muslims, Arabs or because they show solidarity with the Palestinian cause. They report that a teacher was fired for having published a note on social networks against the Israeli military occupation in the gaza strip, juia and that a hospital doctor was fired for having published a message with a drawing. in favor of a free and independent palestine in little palestine, the businesses on the main street are also targeted. The owner of this beauty parlor said that they threatened to burn him and his family. But we saw police patrolling and they are increasing security in schools and mosques. They are investigating calls from residents who live in the center complaining of hate threats. Something they have not seen since 2017, when it was put on in effect the travel ban for Muslim refugees. In Chicago, an Arab boy received 36 stab wounds and in New York they are looking for this individual for hitting a Muslim teenager on a bus for wearing a turban. Marie: These officials from the Palestinian American Center say they are not satisfied with the way the government has handled these cases and are calling on the state prosecutor’s office.
