The Muslim community has responded with outrage following an apparent Islamophobic attack on a Durban woman. 

Halima Firoza Hoosen was stabbed to death in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Two of her relatives were also stabbed and remain in a critical condition in hospital. The man who was arrested in connection with the murder has allegedly confessed to the crime, saying that he attacked the family because of their pro-Palestine stance.

A 10-year-old relative is one of the eyewitnesses to the crime. She told police that the man had admitted that he was stabbing her relatives because they supported Palestine.

He also allegedly threatened to rape the girl. The South African Jewish Board of Deputies has meanwhile expressed its outrage at this incident.

However, this organisation has also been silent on the genocide of more than 35 000 Palestinians at the hands of US-backed Israeli forces in Gaza.

“The bottom line is this: Peace will come to Israel and the Middle East only when the Israeli government is willing to comply with international law, with the Roadmap for Peace, with official American policy, with the wishes of a majority of its own citizens–and honor its own previous commitments–by accepting its legal borders. All Arab neighbors must pledge to honor Israel’s right to live in peace under these conditions. The United States is squandering international prestige and goodwill and intensifying global anti-American terrorism by unofficially condoning or abetting the Israeli confiscation and colonization of Palestinian territories.”
