Oh no, Palestinians aren't safe ANYWHERE! THEY'RE HUNTERS MORE THAN TRANS & BLACKS!
Gotta love how Vermonters are delusional about their population being educated, progressives without a shred of hate. I have a restaurant. I used to prefer covering my hair with a scarf while cooking. Since this incident, I had to come up with an alternative. My family is concerned that it could be mistaken for a hijab and I could be a victim of a hate crime. Doesn't help that I am an off the boat immigrant from a Muslim country. I am afraid to say the name of the place on my ethnic menu items.
❤ free Palestine
What an outstanding pair of gentlemen. May Allah bless you both. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Free Free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸
Praying for Hisham’s healing and for all Palestinian people 🙏🏾
NBC strikes again. Playing on peoples emotion to spin a narrative. Another poster boy…
This didn't make the headlines! If it was an arab man that did it ,his name wotld be everywhere….DOUBLE STANDARDS! What about the mother and don that were stubbed by a xenophobe criminal???
Breaks my heart being so young just living life and now paralyzed cuz a piece of $h!t
The coward pleads not guilty what a sick hateful person
This was a disgusting hate crime.
People who endorse Isreal's actions over the last 100 days should be ashamed of themselves.
Alhamdoulillah 3ala slamtqoum
There is no proof and any evidence of their lies
No one knows what the Palestinian headscarf are in the usa 🇺🇸 nor does anyone care . This was just one lone nut who shot you . This was not racism so stop propagating false racism . But my prayers to you and family and full recovery 🙏 ✝️✝️✝️✝️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 .what a horrible thing for you three articulate men to have to go through .
They are still investigating the crime..is it a racist hate crime or not ?????….disgusting double standard in the West.
Thanks for sharing their story with us NBC!
Still not charged with a hate crime !! What they are going to charge with ? Love crime maybe !!
Watching these two beautiful young Palestinian men and there loving mothers through out there ordeal and painful experiences, they steal wanted to get the most important message across the world! That was the awareness of the Palestinian suffering and genocide… god bless you all
Glad to see american people figuring out how dangerous zionism is. I feel sorry for these guys. God bless you.
United States of hate, Islamophobia, anti- Muslim anti Arab. This country is full of hate. The world will be better off without this country.
Yes, other mothers don't have that because their children are held hostage by Hamas in their terror tunnels under Gaza. 136 hostages are still held in Gaza by Hamas, including a baby that "celebrated" his first birthday, in Gaza after over 100 days in captivity!!
Bro wore a terrorist scarf and paid for it with his own legs.
The dude that shot those guys is a terrorist a white supremacist terrorist and should be charged with a hate crime
He didn't even care about going to prison
Of course it’s a hate crime!
The hate against Palestinians seems to be never ending 🙁
