Palestinian American man stabbed leaving protest: 'Joe Biden, I blame you' [View all]
A Palestinian American man was stabbed Sunday while leaving a cease-fire protest in Austin, authorities say, the latest in a spate of violent attacks against Muslims in the U.S. during the Israel-Hamas war.
The 23-year-old man, Zacharia Doar, underwent surgery Monday and is expected to recover, according to the Council of American Islamic Relations.
According to CAIR spokesperson Edward Ahmed Mitchell, a group of four demonstrators were leaving the protest in a car when the assailant, who was also driving a car, allegedly spotted a keffiyeh hanging from their window. He then got out of his car and approached the group, uttering racial epithets, including the n-word.

And he shared a message from his son: “Mr. President, Mr. Joe Biden, I blame you. I blame you for what happened to me. If you would have called for a cease-fire three months ago, this would have never happened.”
