Illinois man found guilty of murder, hate crime for killing 6-year-old Palestinian-American boy in wake of Oct. 7
Good. That kind of thing is not ok, no matter how distressing world events..
[IsraelTimes] A jury finds an Illinois landlord guilty of murder and hate crime charges for a brutal 2023 attack on a Palestinian American family in which he killed a 6-year-old.

Joseph Czuba, 73, was charged in the fatal stabbing of Wadee Alfayoumi and the wounding of his mother, Hanan Shaheen, on Oct. 14, 2023, in Plainfield, about 40 miles (64 kilometers) from Chicago.

Authorities alleged the family — who were renting rooms in Czuba’s house — was targeted because of their Islamic faith and as a response to the war between Israel and Hamas that was sparked by the terror group’s devastating assault on Oct. 7, 2023.

Jurors deliberated less than 90 minutes over the crime that renewed fears of anti-Muslim discrimination in the Chicago area’s large and established Palestinian community.

The trial featured detailed testimony from police officers, medical workers, Czuba’s ex-wife, and Shaheen, who described how Czuba attacked her with a knife before going after her son in a different room.

Prosecutors say that the child had been stabbed 26 times. He was found naked with a knife still in his side.

1 Agree TW, not ok.

Open question to anyone in Illinois State Gov.

When will Illinois start arresting the Pro-Hamas Terrorist protesters that have been assaulting those of the Jewish Faith? That's a violation of the Illinois Felony Hate Crime.

2 Was it a hate crime or, simply, a crazy old man?

4  Was it a hate crime or, simply, a crazy old man?

It happened on October 14, 2023, Grom, and he was reportedly really upset by what he saw on the news. As I recall, he’d been kind to the boy and the boy’s divorced mother previously.

5 If the kid was naked, it sounds like a different type of crime. Czuba’s DNA is likely to get several hits when it goes through the Fed database.

6 Dear God in Heaven, Super Hose, I hope you’re wrong about that. But surely they’d know after all this time.

7 It’s a useful story as a hate crime. Why is the 6 year old kid found naked? Did the old man want to reduce the impact of his attack on their laundry? Another dysfunction is present that isn’t useful for the narrative.
