In Texas, a woman has been charged with attempted murder for attempting to drown a 3-year-old Palestinian American girl at a swimming pool at an apartment complex. The Texas chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations is now calling for hate crime charges against the woman, Elizabeth Wolf, who reportedly attacked the child after telling the girl’s mother that she wasn’t really American. In a statement, the girl’s mother said, “We are American citizens, originally from Palestine, and I don’t know where to go to feel safe with my kids. My country is facing a war, and we are facing that hate here.”
