(The Guardian) Three Palestinian students were shot and wounded in Vermont on Saturday night, prompting the Palestinian foreign ministry to call for the “arrest, investigation, accountability and publishing of the investigation results”.

The students, who Palestinian officials identified as Hisham Awartani, Tahseen Ahmed and Kinnan Abdalhamid, were on their way to a family dinner when they were shot and wounded.

The head of the Palestinian mission to the UK, Husam Zomlot, said that each of the victims were wearing the Palestinian keffiyeh when they were attacked. In a statement on Twitter/X, the Palestinian foreign ministry said that it “strongly condemned” the attacks and called on authorities to swiftly investigate the attacks and hold those responsible to account.

The shootings, for which police have not announced any suspects or arrests, come amid a rise in Islamophobia and anti-Arab sentiments across the US, in addition to antisemitism following the escalation of violence between Israel and Hamas on 7 October.

Oh quit your frickin' whining. One of the most meaningless statements. Of course the police are going investigate the hell out of it. It's how they solve 40 year old murders. That minister of nothing shouldn't be speaking for Palestinians.
 
This has gotten way out of hand. This is not Israel, this is the US and I hope they find those responsible who hurt them. Unacceptable.

Thanks for pointing this out. I assumed it was Israel reading the headlines, then after reading this post, I went on the link to confirm... indeed it IS the US! Woah... :/
