Three university students of Palestinian descent were shot in Burlington, Vermont, in an incident that is being investigated as a potential hate crime. The victims, all 20 years old, were reportedly speaking a mix of English and Arabic at the time of the attack. Two of them were wearing a keffiyeh, a traditional Middle Eastern scarf. The victims were identified as Hisham Awartani, Kinnan Abdalhamid, and Tahseen Ahmed, all students at American universities. The shooting occurred near the University of Vermont and the victims are being treated for injuries of varying severity. Two of the victims are in stable condition, while the third has more serious injuries. Two of the victims are US citizens and one is a legal resident. The victims were graduates of the Ramallah Friends School in the occupied West Bank and are now attending different universities in the northeastern US. The suspect, Jason J. Eaton, was arrested in connection to the crime. The incident has sparked calls from various organizations, including the New England chapter of the Anti-Defamation League, the American Jewish Committee, the Vermont-New Hampshire chapter of Jewish Voice For Peace, the Institute for Middle East Understanding, and the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, for the incident to be investigated as a hate crime. The shooting comes amid a rise in anti-Islamic and antisemitic incidents in the U.S. following recent Israel-Palestinian conflicts.
