The father of a 6-year-old Muslim boy stabbed and killed in an attack by a man radicalized by right-wing radio reports about Israel-Hamas said he hopes his son’s murder “wakes us up.”
“I’m here as the father of the boy, not as a politician or religious scholar,” Odey Al-Fayoume, the father of Wadea Al-Fayoume, said in a speech in Arabic outside his son’s funeral. “I’m here as the father of a boy whose rights were violated.”
