On October 14, 2023, a week after the Hamas attacks on Israel, and just days after Joe Biden falsely claimed he had seen photos of beheaded Israeli babies, a 6-year-old Palestinian-American boy called Wadee Alfayoumi was brutally murdered in his home after being stabbed 26 times.
The minute I heard Hanaan Shahin's soft-spoken, thoughtful voice, I broke into tears. It took me ten minutes to brace myself for the rest of the interview.
The zionist savage that tried to murder her — and then slaughtered her little 6-year old son — should never see daylight again, let alone freedom.
My deepest condolences, Ms. Shahin, on the loss of your beautiful son, Wadee. And my further condolences for the manner in which he was taken from you, and from the world.
I can’t believe the strength of Palestinian people in the face of so much cruelty. They really represent the spirit of what we need to restore in this country and the world. My deepest condolences to Haanan Shahin and her beautiful child Wadee.
Ms. Hanaan Shahin has a beautiful, sweet, loving and brave spirit. I could feel her positive fragrance. May her heart never grow hard, may justice be served, and may God touch the hearts of those who can move the resolution in Congress.
Thank you, Medhi, for bringing this heartfelt story of a beautiful Palestinian-American family to your viewers.🙏
It was on PBS News Hour - You Tube. It was quite an eye opener to see the way some of the senators addressed Ms. Berry. Yet, she remained calm, poised and articulate. Just like Ms. Shahin in this interview. Amazing. Admirable.
Lastly, as I was mulling over this Zeteo interview, I could not help from thinking about Wadee Alfayoume and Emmett Till. (For those not familiar, here is a link) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4V6ffUUEvaM
I think, Medhi, if you haven't already, I recommend interviewing Ms Maya Berry and even Rabbi Dr. Mark Goldfeder and Kenneth S. Stern.
I'm registered as a Democrat, angry that 5 known Democrats were absent. How daré Chairmin Dick Durbin did not stop Kennedy and allow his disgusting tone to a woman and his racism. Politicans need to stop accepting money from Isreal and start behaving as the Christian you all claim to be but maybe not because most white nationalist Neonazis actually hate the Jewish people
Every life should have an equal weight in the US but it doesn’t. Politically, a white life weighs more than a black or brown life, and a Jewish American life is valued more than an Arab American life.
Thank you Zeteo for projecting the gruesome murder of a child days after Biden's parroting the Israeli lies. Things are changing in the US, give it time. This is the reason why we support Zeteo for being a voice of the oppressed even in this land of the free.
sobbing...what an amazing mother... I am horrified & embarrassed by the treatment they both received yesterday. When will this country accept the difference between being an Isreali and these monstrous zionists ...
This interview was so heart wrenching to watch. I cannot imagine the unbearable loss and pain Hanaan Shahin is enduring as there has been no justice in her beautiful six-year-old son Wadea’s heinous murder at the hands of a hateful maniac. Because our morally bankrupt leaders Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have not made any substantive changes whatsoever in their foreign policy vis a vis Israel, I will not reward neocon war criminal Democrats for continuing to aid and abet genocide in Gaza and the occupied West Bank. This means I will vote AGAINST Kamala Harris on Election Day.
All I feel is love for this mother and her son. I don't know how she's been able to endure such a tragedy. I don't understand the lack of compassion for one sector of the population over another sector. It makes no sense.
I'm honestly scared about the current state of dehumanization and specific targeting of non-white groups and immigrants in this country and around the world. I don't understand this unadulterated backing of Israel, but then I didn't understand our non-committal attitude towards Rwanda. Humanity is something that I've struggled to understand.
Thank you for having these difficult conversations and may God bless her.
Firstly we must get his name right. I believe you are saying Wadea, Wadia or Wadir, but it's written as Wadee in the article. Thank you for discussing his tragic death, but we should get his name right too.
Thank you Mehdi and Zeteo for bringing this heartbreaking and important story into attention. May Hanaan Shahin and the whole family be blessed, and may God ease their pain.
It is horrendous that Biden lied about beheaded babies and continued to arm and support Israel to kill and starve thousands and thousands and thousands of babies and innocents. Biden-Harris failed us. that is why I am voting #JillStein

Her courage and resiliency are inspiring. May our elected officials hear her story. Thank you, Zateo, for shining a light on her story.

Our hearts are broken.

I wanted to watch and listen to the Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing on hatred held on September 17, 2024, that Ms. Shahin and Attorney Maaria Mozaffar attended.

She's a saint... after such tragedy, she shows so much love and kindness and resilience.
My heart goes to her and her family...what a resilient human, still being so positive after such tragedy...
Thanks Mehdi and Zeteo. I truly appreciate you and your work 🙏
