In Colorado, there has been an increase in Islamophobia and Anti-Arab bias as a direct result of Israel’s war in Gaza. Both the Council on American-Islamic Relations and Arab American Anti-Discrimination Committee have both reported an unprecedented increase in complaints with over 770 cases from 10/7/23 to 11/4/2023. This is a massive increase over the previous year. Both Islamophobia and Anti-Palestinian rhetoric have been used to justify violence against Palestinians in Gaza and silence supporters of Palestinian human rights here in America. The surge in bigotry has resulted in several incidents being documented against students, physicians, places of work and worship, and more.
