JERUSALEM (AP) — The severed head and decapitated torso of a 25-year-old Palestinian were discovered on the side of a road in the occupied West Bank, police said Friday, confirming gruesome details of a killing that shocked Palestinian society.
But accounts that the victim, Ahmad Abu Murkhiyeh, was a gay man who feared persecution for his sexuality and had sought asylum in Israel two years ago turned the terrible crime into a socially and politically explosive case.
It was unclear how Abu Murkhiyeh wound up in Hebron, the conservative West Bank city that he had reportedly fled. Palestinian police officials told The Associated Press on Friday that Abu Murkhiyeh’s head and torso were found near his family’s house.
Col. Loay Irzekat, a police spokesman, said authorities arrested a Palestinian acquaintance of Abu Murkhiyeh as a suspect in the killing, but declined to ascribe a motive or elaborate on their relationship pending the investigation.

A gay man was brutally killed in Arizona. Was it a hate crime?
Leonardo Santiago, 21, is also accused in the slaying months earlier of a man whom Phoenix authorities say he had a sexual relationship with.

So what party are you supporting that isn’t going backwards? Both parties seem to be going backwards. The abortion law by the republicans is just plain stupid.I'm not the one supporting the party going backwards, am I? The GOP is turning into the worst parts of Palestine that you warn me about
"Because abortion is illegal under Palestinian law and highly restricted in the OPT, Palestinian women are forced to turn to Israeli hospitals, to expensive private Palestinian clinics, or to self-induced termination when seeking an abortion."
The Unique Landscape of Abortion Law and Access in the Occupied Palestinian Territories
Abortion remains a highly debated topic in women’s health in the Middle East and specifically in the occupied Palestinian territories (OPT), where it is illegal in most cases. Abortion access is challenging and complex due to laws, hospital policies, ...www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
But you’re here supporting bringing in people who kill if someone is different than they are. Is that moving forward?
Take a look at the big liberal cities. Tell me how they are moving forwards when parts of them are major shit holes.
Yes republican towns are shit as well but I’m not here promoting one being superior and making such great strides in becoming better.
As far as the LBGT, I could not care any less what a person wants to be or be attracted to as long as it isn’t costing me or anyone else any money besides the person that wants to have some possible surgery or the person supporting the surgery.
I feel more threatened by extreme democrats and republicans than LBGT members.
Rs don't care about kids. Once they're born you guys want to put them to work in factories and take away meal plans for them.
Read your own article dude, there isn't any hate crime found. It was a gay lover who killed his former partner.A gay man was brutally killed in Arizona. Was it a hate crime?
Leonardo Santiago, 21, is also accused in the slaying months earlier of a man whom Phoenix authorities say he had a sexual relationship with.
When have Dems ever advocated for a thorough and extensive vetting process in the last 25 years?
"Vetting" politicians doesn't count, that's a political exercise not a national security one.
Are democrats continuing to support all immigrants they are either bringing in or allowing into this country or is it only for a little while and then they cut them loose.
If they are continuing to support them, why are they not supporting American citizens instead of supporting immigrants?
Why are they taking away the rights of Americans having a safe country/boarder?
Dude, you’re a prime example of someone who has fallen so deeply into the algorithmically curated abyss of social media misinformation that you have become irreparably broken.
I wish you were just trolling. I feel bad for your family and loved ones and I’m truly sorry this happened to you.
USA should send in the alphabet people and people who think men can give birth to vent them in Gaza.
That they have family in the US already and will have to successfully complete our immigration vetting process?
Not good enough? Here's one where prosecutors did call it a hate crime.

Gerald Declan Radford, 65, was charged for the murder of John Walter Lay in Tampa last month, in what prosecutors are calling a hate crime.

How many innocent human lives do you think will be saved by bringing Palestinians to the US?
either way, i heard it all started when the gay guy made a pejorative comment about the other guy's large breed dog...
Get a room, fellas.
They knew each other from the dog park and yes the guy did call him homophobic slurs before killing him.
Huey, you are going to find hate crimes in our country, no doubt, and they are wrong. They are also stand alone people, this group of people wants to spread a message of killing gay people. The fact you don't have a minor amount of pause, as a gay person, is 100% a warped political mind.
Have great day man, but you are an idiot.
You’re moving the goalposts. You specifically said 70% voted for Hamas. This might shock you, but polls are not ballots.There are actual more recent numbers than 73% it was 90% in 2023.
Palestinian poll shows a rise in Hamas support and close to 90% wanting US-backed Abbas to resign
The findings signal more difficulties for the Biden administration’s postwar vision for Gaza and raise questions about Israel’s goal of ending Hamas’ capabilities.
I think we found a loophole here. Bring over pregnant Palestinian women before Israel aborts them, and their unborn.
As an independent (used to be democrat), my feeling is it doesn't matter about the vetting. They're going to have families and some of those family members will be religious extremists. It's time to say we're not the dumping ground for all these countries that have troubles.
I work at a fortune 500 company and we have some great employees who are educated and full time employees and they had to move to Canada because the U.S. wouldn't let them stay. Those are the people we should be allowing into this country, but for some reason we're forcing them out.
Analysis like this doesn't require any effort or thinking so of course that's what they go for.
You're right but don't cut off your nose to spite your face. Because if you do, you could be dead.
Beyond again saying our immigration laws badly need reforming if people who want to stay aren’t allowed to, I don’t see this as an either/or problem.
Vet these refugees as thoroughly as possible and let them in if they pass.
I think the best course of action is Biden just needs to talk to Mexico's president to convince him to open up the Egyptian border for these refugees.
Idk. Hopefully a good amount. As long as they are vetted which I'm sure they would be, I have no problems with it.
If we were talking about 50 people it would be one thing, but we're talking about a whole country/state. How do you let all of them in. That doesn't make sense. We would be better off going in and helping clean up Gaza rather than trying to move everyone here. All it does is make the U.S. look like they're removing Palestinians from Gaza so Israel can claim it. If there's a disaster in your town, do you want the government to drop you off in another state and say good luck or would you rather the government come in and help rebuild your town?
You guys and your "vetting"... I swear...
Would any of you mind explaining how extensive the vetting process is when you're dealing with third world shithole countries? We have a thread going on right now that reveals that the FBI crime stats are not complete as over 20% of local jurisdictions are not reporting crimes. And that's in the United States of America.
A sucker is born every minute.

So you want to "throw some paper towels" to a few people so you feel like we've done something good. The first thing that needs to be done is get rid of the cancer and then try to heal. We should be helping remove hamas and that would be better for everyone in Gaza.
In 2023, 56 Palestinian refugees immigrated to the US. There are approximately 170k persons that identify as Palestinian in the US—most arriving after the 6 day war in 1967. U am not aware of an increase in beheadings or terrorist activities in the US due to Palestinians in the US. Of course there is a potential for radicalization, particularly disenfranchised youth
It's the same vetting process that has allowed palestinians to occupy streets and buildings here in the U.S.
