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.

This concurrent resolution honors Wadee Alfayoumi, a 6-year-old Palestinian-American boy who was killed in Illinois on October 14, 2023, in a crime for which the perpetrator was convicted of murder and hate crimes. It would have Congress recognize that the United States lost Wadee Alfayoumi because of hate. It would also state that elected officials and media have a duty to report facts without dehumanizing rhetoric, that free speech and peaceful protest are constitutionally protected, and that the United States has zero tolerance for hate crimes, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, and anti-Palestinian and anti-Arab discrimination. The resolution does not create new laws or spending.
