The death of Wadea Al-Fayoume, a student at Central Elementary School in Plainfield, is a crime too disturbing to ignore.
It hardly should be necessary to condemn the killing of a 6-year-old boy, but the death of Wadea Al-Fayoume, a student at Central Elementary School in Plainfield, is too disturbing to ignore. Wadea was stabbed 26 times on Saturday and later pronounced dead after an attack that also seriously wounded his mother. The child was targeted by his landlord, local officials believe, because his family is Palestinian American.
A massive humanitarian crisis now appears inevitable. The world’s refugee population is about to get much larger. Abroad, we call on Israel to do all it can to not target civilians, especially children, and to give those who are able to leave safe passage to do so. We think the Egyptians were within their rights to use the bargaining chip of their border to gain access for international humanitarian aid for Palestinians and that international aid groups should receive full U.S. cooperation.
