Palestinian American college student paralyzed in Vermont shooting speaks out for the first time



College students Hisham Awartani, Kinnan Abdalhamid and Tahseen Ahmed were shot in Burlington, Vermont, in November. Sharing his story for the first time, Awartani told NBC News’ Tom Llamas he remembers walking down the street when a man came down from his porch and pulled out a pistol. Awartani is now paralyzed. He says he’s grateful for the medical care he’s received in the U.S. but worries about people in Gaza unable to get the same care.

  1. You did not think that you would be brutalized for looking different from a Christian Nationalist in the United States of America? Wake up and smell the MAGA trash

  2. Stay strong young man always…

  3. "…… paralyzed in Vermont shooting ………" . NBC News phrased this way as if it was mass shooting for all nearby people. Disgusting Double standards.

  4. I am becoming that convinced Palestinians are God's Chosen People. Not just because they are the group most closely descended from the ancient Israelites (besides the Samaritans), but they have so much courage, goodness, compassion, and honesty in the face of all that has been done to them. What beautiful souls.

  5. Solidarity with the Palestinian people and cause! Free Palestine ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ

  6. NBCโฃ๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ. USA & UK apologize to ICJ because help Israel occupation. Israel leave Gaza strip, West Bank, Golan. make peace agreement with palestine & Syria. build wall along the border. recognise Palestine in UN.
    peace ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡พ.

  7. Shouldnโ€™t AIPAC be declared as a terriorist organisation?

  8. Typical usual suspects in these type of attacks.
