But That heartbreak has been amplified by horrific cases of both Palestinians and Jewish Americans being targeted here in the United States, including the unthinkable murder of Wadi al Fayoum, the six year old Palestinian American boy in Chicago, as well as the death of a 69 year old Jewish man, Paul Kessler, after he was injured during an altercation at a rally or two competing rallies while he was peacefully waving an Israeli flag. And that obviously is of deep concern to all of us for the safety of Americans, generally for the safety of people with Palestinian or any kind of Arabic background, as well as people who are Jews.
