I wish that people would listen to the Palestinian voices on the ground, to talk to the mothers who try to put their children next to them, because, if they die, they want to die together, to talk about a son who was buried with his mother, and he watched his mother die because they -- as they were buried under the rubble, she was taking her last breaths. And he said, 'Please don’t leave me.'

Their silence is complacent and normalizes fearmongering and racism. We know that targeting any community doesn’t allow any of us to be safe.

Islamophobic racists are yet again marching in Dearborn to terrorize a whole faith community.
More leaders, including local elected officials, must speak out, especially against the local instigators participating in the spread of hatred under the guise of faith.
