Honoring Wadee Alfayoumi, a 6-year-old Palestinian-American boy, murdered as a victim of a hate crime for his Palestinian-Muslim identity, in the State of Illinois.
That the Senate recognizes that—
(1) the United States lost the beautiful light of Wadee Alfayoumi because of hate;
(2) it is the duty of elected officials and media to tell the truth without dehumanizing rhetoric when informing the public of factual information;
(3) freedom of speech and peaceful protest are constitutionally protected and a fundamental cornerstone of democracy; and
(4) the United States has zero tolerance for hate crimes, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, and anti-Palestinian and anti-Arab discrimination.
