Hate's Blindness: The Vermont Verdict and the Anatomy of Prejudice The conviction of Jason Eaton for attempting to murder three Palestinian college students in Burlington, Vermont, brings justice to a heinous crime that shook the community.
However, this verdict also highlights the disturbing truth: hate knows no bounds. Eaton's defense, which claimed he was acting on orders from US and Israeli intelligence agencies, has been thoroughly discredited.
His lawyers' attempts to portray their client as a pawn in a grand conspiracy only underscored Eaton's own brand of prejudice.
