An awful, horrible story out of Illinois today in La Grange, just outside Wadiya, I'll fire me.

Oh, lord.

He was less worse to his mom.

He's in a better place.

The boy died after he and his mother, Hanan S were allegedly stabbed Saturday in the room.

Authorities have now opened a federal hate crimes investigat The local sheriff's saying in a statement, both victims in this brutal atta were targeted by the suspect due to them being Muslim and the ongoing Middle Eastern conflict involving Hamas and the Israelis.

Outrage erupting over the brutal illustrating why federal officials are worried about growing threat He paid the price for the atmosphere of hate.

Zuba now facing murder, attempte and hate crime charges.

All right.

They have me Jake.

That mother is still in the hosp and illustrating just how gut wrenching this is.

Again, she's still in the hospital and that meant she could not be at the funeral, Jake.

She could not say goodbye to her little boy. Back to you.

So awful point.

Meanwhile, thank you so much.

I want to bring in Rula Jebreal.

She's a visiting professor at the University of Miami, a journalist, a foreign policy a and an Israeli-Palestinian who's who has loved ones both in Israel and in East Jerus Right now, Rula, thanks so much.

How important do you think it is for people in the media, for our political leaders, religious leaders, to make this incredibly important distinction between Hamas and not only the Palestinian peo but Arabs and Muslims and all other people who somehow might unfairly and wrong be lumped in with Hamas? I think it's crucial.

It's it's it's paramount.

I mean, as we see the rise of hate crimes in Ameri as we see that threats and Michi and Brooklyn restaurants are receiving death threats, restaurants of of Syrians, Palestinians, Muslims, it doesn' But it starts with a dehumanization, Jake.

It starts with the language of officials both in Israel and, in the United States, where they blurring the distinction that erase the distinction between civilians and militants.

And they carry this narrative th Palestinians are animals, are Na that the only way somehow the so for this conflict to wipe them out, to exterminate I mean, I've been listening to many in t And if we ever needed Palestinia to actually explain how did we g and how we where we go from here, it's now if we ever needed rational t I understand the fear that emotions I understand that what you know and I have empathy and compassio for the civilians who died after that attack in the same time we need because of those emotion because we've been there before after nine 11.

We've seen what happened when we overreact.

We've seen want to happen when we dehumanize and criminali an entire group of people.

It actually reminds me of when after nine 11 in the you know, in the preparation for the work war on Iraq, a lot of Americans thought that the Iraqis were responsible for nine 11. Ye And that led to the invasion and led to building up of the lie about WMD.

And there is you know there's a threat of ext we need to go there and with that and now they regret these polici And I remember also officials in the Bush administration comin and saying our policies are creating more e and more terrorists.

But also I remember Barack Obama saying, you know, I was the direct outgrowth of al Q and it's related to our invasion and occupation of Iraq.

I mean, I remember these things and it seemed we didn't learn en And I think Palestinians are also invited to defend their and defend their existence over instead of explaining and they've been telling us and warning us that this is going to happen without a political solution.

They've been telling us, Palestinian and Israeli Palestinians telling us that there's no military solutio And if there's a confirmation of the failure of the military a is five wars in Gaza, right.

Then endless crimes and endless, no subjugation to the Palestinians without a political solution on the horizon.

This war will not stop in Israel It will not.

And what happened in Gaza in tho it will not keep Israel safe, but will come back to America.

And it is astonishing that that same people who waged a war on America's dem are the same people who are toda telling us wiped out, wipe out G The same people who endorse what Putin did in Chechnya, basi you know, flattened Grozny or what Assad did in Aleppo.

Nobody is safe with this policy.

And Israelis and Palestinians and nor America and I think and one of the things you're say there are so important, the idea that when this war operation, whatever people want to call it, when it's over, the idea that th or the Arab world or whomever can just say, okay, now we're just going to go back to the way we were and the Palestinians in the West Bank and the Palestinians in Gaza are just going to be left to their own devices as they wer And that is not that's not a sol No, that's actually why we are here in the first place.

And I know that it's hard in this moment of high emotions to to appeal to other people, hu But if we ever need an internati for the protection of the people and to prevent an ethnic cleansing of Palestine if it's now if we ever need to pressure governments to speak up to the Israelis and tell them that, you know, you are the strongest army in the Middle East, you are the 11 strongest army in the world.

You have atomic bombs.

This is yes, it's horrific, but it's not an existential thre and not Palestinians are not Naz We need to have our media, our colleagues, our friends to t you know, pressure also and rebuke and cou the narrative of, you know, the military, the army who are telling us that, no, they're there is no civilians, there are civilians, there are millions of people who live in Gaza.

They're a regular human being.

And today we're here.

Are there calls from hospitals, from on th who are telling us that they fear to be exterminate by fear that and with and not only us who are hearing them, the whole region, the whole world are listening to And I think in this moment that we shouldn't wait for a military, you know, to conclude whatever they are doing.

And we know what they're doing because in their deeds and words are telling us what they're doing.

But we need now to pressure as international community Israelis to act lawfully, to act rationally more than ever We need that now don't wait, because if we wait, it can be to Rula, before you go, I know you have relatives in East Jerus in Israel. And I'm wondering how it is for Palestinian Israelis right n in this in incredibly awful peri after that incredibly awful October 7th attack and now this How are your relatives doing? Thank you for asking, Jake.

You know, some of my relatives work in hos They are taking care of these in who were attacked in October while listening to, you know, ba other Israelis calling to exterm Palestinians, to wipe them out.

Many of them change the way they dress because they are they fear retal Many of my of these relatives who talk to people in Gaza, in hospitals, working in Gaza, and they hear the voices and voice messages telling, you know, basically telling them we are waiting to be slaughtered we know that the world doesn't c about us.

We are waiting to be slaughtered And also, you know, while all this happens, the attacks in the West Bank never ceased.

55 Palestinians in the West Bank where Hamas is not there being killed last w in seven days, they've been kill the attacks of the settlers.

And while the government is you the military are doing what they doing in Gaza in the same time, they are building settlement and continue to confiscate land.

People in Jerusalem are terrifie because ministers in Israel and politicians, including the moderate president are telling them there's no civi And they're repeating the narrat Palestinians are Nazis and injecting this narrative to basically say, we, you all are enemy and we will go after you sooner And you have, you know, minister like Ben-gvir and Smotrich.

And that's why they're appealing to the international community to pressure this government, that is to stop any kind of reta that can, you know, lead to a regional wide conflict, but also lead to a position where Israeli themselves, they ask themselves what American did after the war on terror? Are we producing more extremist are we plunging our self in a forever war? Those lessons from the global war on terror, the lessons from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

We need to be need to be remembe Rula Jebreal, always, always great to have you on.

Thank you so much. Thank you, Ja
