Hate crimes on the rise in the US: Homeland Security warns of heightened threat
As the conflict between Israel and Hamas rages, the number of hate crimes in the United States is on the rise. The Department of Homeland Security is warning of a heightened threat targeting Arabs, Muslims and Jews in the near to medium term. Vigils have been taking place after a Palestinian American child was stabbed to death by his neighbour in Chicago. The man has been charged with a hate crime. The Jewish community is also worried about the rise of anti-Semitism. This is especially the case in Pittsburgh, five years after a mass shooting at a synagogue there. Our correspondents Fanny Allard and Wassim Cornet report.
