Houston's Muslim community is demanding the violence in Gaza to end following the hospital blast that killed thousands of people.
Tensions rise as the Israeli military denies responsibility for a hospital blast, blaming a misfired Palestinian rocket. At the same time, the aftermath of the Hamas attack leaves devastation and a growing outcry from local voices.The Hamas Health Ministry in Gaza blames an Israeli airstrike for a blast at a hospital that killed hundreds. The Israeli military denied involvement, saying it was caused by a misfired Palestinian rocket.
On any given day, in Gaza, Palestinians comb through the rubble of a bombed building, looking for survivors. They are paying the price for the Hamas leadership, in Gaza, that ordered the October attack on Israel that left more than 1400, mostly civilian, deaths. Israel's punishing response has left Palestinians in the crosshairs.chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or "CAIR", is pleading for a cease-fire in Gaza.
At a Houston press conference, that did not take media questions, the group is sounding an alarm to what they say is an increase in anti-Muslim and anti-Arab hate, and an indifference toward their experience. "This dehumanization campaign that's being waged to justify a genocide against the Palestinians of Gaza, has come home to roost," says Mohammed Hisam of the Palestinian American Cultural Center.
The point is illustrated by a terrible attack over the weekend in suburban Chicago, where police charged a 71-year-old man with a hate crime and murder, saying he stabbed a 6-year-old boy to death, and seriously injured the child's mother, because of their Muslim faith and the violence in Israel. CAIR-Houston fears it's just the beginning, citing instances of hostility that may get worse if unchecked.
