The heartbroken father of a six-year-old Palestinian boy stabbed to death by his landlord in a hate-crime fueled by the Hamas-Israel war has revealed that his brave son's final words were 'I'm fine.'
Wadea Al-Fayoume, six, was killed on Sunday, allegedly by landlord Joseph M. Czuba, 71, who was renting the family a room in his home in Plainfield, Illinois.
The boy's mother, Hanan Shaheen, survived the attack and told police later how Czuba appeared at their door spouting hateful, anti-Muslim slurs.
He tried to choke Shaheen, who fled inside and called 911, then produced a knife on the mother and son. He plunged the serrated, military-style weapon into Shaheen more than a dozen times, and stabbed the boy 26 times.
Czuba was arrested outside the house.
Wadea's father, Oday Al-Fayoume, has spoken out, explaining that his son and ex-wife knew the landlord and had even shared a 'good relationship' with him before the horrific attack.
'It is hard to picture this man holding a knife about to stab my son,' he said.
'I keep thinking that my son was probably running towards him before getting stabbed, trying to give him a hug.'
Paying tribute to his young son, Oday told The Daily Beast that Wadea was 'basically a small angel in the form of a person'.
Wadea's mom suffered more than a dozen stab wounds. She remained hospitalized Sunday but is expected to survive.
Speaking at a press conference on Sunday, the boy's uncle, Yousef Hannon said: 'We are not animals, we are humans.
'We want people to see us as humans, to feel us as humans, to deal with us as humans, because this is what we are.'
The family moved to the US from the West Bank twelve years ago. Wadea was born in the US.

Many years ago, I used to smoke a lot of pot, and I can tell you that without a doubt paranoia can certainly be a factor. I haven’t smoked any in probably 40 years, and it sure made me paranoid. That’s primarily why I quit. I didn’t like what it was doing to me. I’m better off for it.
This happend about 25 minutes from where I live. It was all over the local news here.

I’m in DuPage county, IL. This story leads every newscast. Totally agree the perp needs to stop consuming oxygen. The media is 100% in lockstep pushing this down our throats. Bet white supremacy is not far behind.
who was renting the family a room in his home in Plainfield, Illinois.
I’m with you. Waiting on more to be revealed.
Satan is everywhere.
Forty + children and babies slaughtered by HAMAS, yet THIS is what "the media" will dwell on!
Acts of a crazy murderer. But of course he is white (Czuba is POlish) so that means ALL white people are to blame and Biden will crow how he is right that white people are the problem facing minorities. Poor child and family but politics trumps all in todays liberal run insane world.
I only understand English. Why post in a language that most of us here don't understand?
Biden called it White Supremacy and a "hate crime" yesterday.
It's already out there.
Been around a million potheads including myself when I was younger. Never seen withdrawals from any of them. Guy you’re talking about probably had something in his weed
“ There are plenty of people here that believe innocent children in gaza should be executed if not jewish. it has been shocking for me to read these kinds of comments. I guess the thinking is that there are no innocent children in gaza. I just can’t follow that line of thinking.”

Utter BS…why lie like that?
How terrible. And counterproductive. Fry him.
That said, pro tip for emigrants who intend to become U.S. citizens: give your American-born child an English first name. It signals your family’s loyalty to our flag and your intention to stay here.
My parents don’t/didn’t have English names. My father in law didn’t.
So true.
They teach their brand of hatred in the schools in Gaza. Even tiny kids hear that crap at home. The indoctrination is extreme over there.
That said, it was a terrible, useless killing, and I hope to God it wasn't another mind-control set up by the DS to spark muz riots in this country.
Bugs are bugs. People were are made in the image of God. No human is “subhuman.” And this was a child.
What is the Catholic saying when someone dies?
Eternal rest grant unto him/her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him/her. May he/she rest in peace. Amen. May almighty God bless us with his peace and strength, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
