After Hezbollah rocket kills Muslim woman, Arab town is hit with explosion of racism

Three members of Tag Meir, a volunteer organization that fights against racism, visited the family of Safaa Awad, a Muslim woman who was killed by a Hezbollah rocket in northern Israel. They expressed their condolences and apologized for the racist comments made by some Israeli Jews on social media following her death. Awad's sister, Najlaa, thanked them and spoke out against the negative stereotypes associated with her sister's head covering. The town of Shfar'am, where Awad lived, has also been hit with an explosion of racism following the attack. The town, which is a mixed Arab community, has experienced both the physical impact of the rocket and the emotional impact of racism during this difficult time.
