Hamas-linked CAIR honors a Jewish group that is a consistent foe of Israel and eager purveyor of “Palestinian” jihad propaganda.
“The New Axis of Evil (or Comedy): CAIR, JVP and the Huffington Post,” by Steven Emerson, IPT News, December 29, 2016:
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has finally found a Jewish group it likes.
At its annual banquet on Dec. 17, CAIR gave its new “Defender of Liberty” award to Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP).
The Huffington Post ran the original story about this award, continuing its long tradition of running apologias for radical Islamist and Muslim Brotherhood front groups all over the United States as well as promoting virulent anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.
In 2012, the Huffington Post UK even hired Mehdi Hasan, a radical Islamist who has also proposed a one-state solution to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict – one which would lead to the slaughter of the new Jewish minority. He also was once caught on video calling non-Muslims “animals:” Hasan called on Muslims to keep “the moral high ground,” adding: “Once we lose the moral high ground we are no different from the rest, of the non-Muslims, from the rest of those human beings who live their lives as animals, bending any rule to fulfill any desire.” And he nefariously blamed Israeli influence for the war in Iraq. David Duke would be proud of the Huffington Post.
CAIR’s decision to honor a Jewish group may seem odd to those familiar with its anti-Semitism. Hussam Ayloush, the director of CAIR’s Southern California chapter, has used the term “zionazi” to describe Israeli Jews. CAIR officials have repeatedly claimed that Jews control U.S. policy. CAIR has even invited a neo-Nazi, William Baker, to speak at several conferences, and attacked those who pointed out Baker’s history. CAIR has repeatedly defended the virulently anti-Semitic Muslim Brotherhood cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who has said: “On the hour of judgment, Muslims will fight the Jews and kill them.”
Qaradawi has defended suicide bombings and is hostile to Jews, saying: “There should be no dialogue with these people [Israelis] except with swords.”
CAIR is vehemently opposed to both the Israeli-Palestinian peace process and to the normalization of relations between Israel and the Palestinians. Despite claims to the contrary, CAIR officials have rejected a two-state solution and justified violence as a means to a legitimate end. “Our preference is peaceful negotiation…but if the peace process is flawed, then resistance is necessary,” CAIR co-founder and executive director Nihad Awad said in 2001. Awad addressed a rally outside the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C. in October 2000, at which rallygoers chanted, “Khaibar, Khaibar, Ya Yahud, Jaysh Muhammed Safayood” (“Khaibar, Khaibar, O Jews, the Army of Mohammed is coming for you”), as well as the Hamas slogans, “With our blood and soul we will liberate Palestine,” and “with our blood and soul we will sacrifice our life on your behalf, martyr.”
Given CAIR’s vehemently anti-Semitic background, it is hard to imagine any Jewish group that would be palatable to this “civil rights” organization, but in Jewish Voice for Peace, it found its perfect match: a Jewish group that is adamantly opposed to Israel and eager to retail Palestinian revisionist history and grievance propaganda against Israel. JVP supports Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) actions against Israel, targeting numerous companies for boycotts because they do business with Israel. It also has supported divestment campaigns on college campuses, succeeding in getting divestment resolutions passed at Hampshire College and Evergreen State College, and engaging in failed divestment campaigns at the University of California Berkeley and the University of California San Diego.
JVP’s mission statement calls for “an end to the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem.” Echoing CAIR’s criticism of the U.S. alliance with Israel, JVP calls on the U.S. government to “stop supporting repressive policies in Israel and elsewhere.” It even applauded former U.S. President Jimmy Carter for meeting with Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal, and called on Israeli officials to meet with Meshaal as well.
Marking its 28th anniversary, Meshaal’s organization vowed “to remain faithful to the liberation of Palestine and to keep its weapon directed at the Israeli occupation only.”
Meshaal also rejected peace efforts and wondered how “can anyone possibly have an excuse to abandon the path of jihad?”
“The Palestinians have reached the realization that negotiations with the (Israelis) are useless…the so-called peace process is futile. There is no peace. Only the path of Jihad, sacrifice, and blood (will bear fruit),”
So the first Jewish group that CAIR honors is a venomously anti-Israel one that retails propaganda against the Jewish state and ignores the genocidal anti-Semitism of its foes.
The name of the award that CAIR gave to JVP is noteworthy. Neither JVP nor CAIR are interested in defending the liberty of Israelis who build homes on land deemed to be “illegal settlements,” or the liberty of Israelis to live in and govern a Jewish state at all. So in what way does CAIR think of JVP as a “Defender of Liberty?” Did it honor JVP for defending the liberty of suicide bombers to murder Israeli civilians? Did it hail JVP for defending the liberty of Palestinians who have passed out candy to celebrate the murders of those civilians? Did it give its new award to JVP for defending the liberty of superannuated and anti-Semitic former Presidents to meet with terror masterminds?
The “Defender of Liberty” award that CAIR gave to Jewish Voice for Peace ought to be regarded as a mark of shame for an organization which claims to represent Jews and work within the Jewish tradition while advocating for policies that would expose the Jews of Israel to greater danger, greater poverty, and greater international opprobrium.
CAIR, JVP, and the Huffington Post, all such staunch promoters of Islamist terrorist front groups, deserve one other.

It makes me wonder: At which synagogue do these Jews pray; and are all its members against the existence of Israel?
The philosophy of this “Jewish” group is quite bewildering. Its membership; and its history are worthy of some study, to find the source of such a contradictory stance…
I’d suspect that some serious premeditated thought went into its creation; and the identities of its creators will doubtless be cause for no surprise
DrSique says
It was probably started by leading Jewish Activist, Rachel Dolezal. She got bored with being a black social justice warrior and moved laterally into Jews against Israel. Next year, she plans to be Asian.
Terry says
I believe it is tied to J STREET AND RABBIS FOR PEACE– BOTH SOROS FUNDED.
(J Street for years denied Soros was funding it, then admitted it; I beleive he funds these groups also).
And, they CLAIM TO BE JEWISH. But, there is no proof. (Even if one were to check the males to see i they were circumcised-something that the Nazis and communists regularly did–here in the US, most boy babies are circumcised- regardless of religion.).
These “Jews: could be anything.
Kathy Brown, Esq. says
Interestingly enough: Hassidic Jews are also anti-Israel. I grew up with them in NYC. Anyone who’s read any of the Chaim Potok books (‘My name is Asher Lev’, etc.) already knows of this community.
Now they’re not commies at all; they’re just very observant . But they don’t recognize Israel because it’s a secular state. They have a very insular community in Crown Heights, with no crime, no divorce, tons of kids, the whole nine yards; which is particularly remarkable because they’re cheek-by-jowl to the highest crime area in the city, the blacks in that area. They’re quite recognizable, since the men wear earlocks and hats and the women all wear wigs because they don’t want anyone but their husbands to see their actual hair.
I had contact with them when I was a nurse in NYC. They’re nice, but the men won’t shake your hand (you might be unclean, you know, nenstruating).
One actually sees the occasional Hasid at one of these muslim rallies. Now needless to say anyone of them who goes that far is certifiable.
Terry says
Kathy–THE COMMENT ABOUT HASIDIC JEWS IS TRUE OF ONLY A SMALL GROUP/SECT OF THEM.
Most (in the US and even around the world- RECOGNIZE ISRAEL. LIVE THERE. AND HAVE CHILDREN, NIECES AND NEPHEWS IN THE IDF.
(During the last Gaza War, many Hasidic yeshiva students –some barely 14, went to within a mile or so of the fighting, helping wounded; writing letters; etc.-one is the son of a friend of mine.. he was older- about 15 or 16).
Shaking hands etc between the sexes is something else- considered being intimate.
Most of the Hasidim DO LIVE in the secular world, but they make the rules for themselves (stop work early on Friday; do not work Sat., or most holidays; eat kosher food only; etc. But are lawyers, doctors; IT people, etc. Divorce is virtually non existent, but does exist-but such a small % that it is negligible. There also is virtually ZERO OUT OF WEDLOCK BIRTHS. AND VIRTUALLY NO STD’S.
I have never heard, however, of any going to Muslim rallies.
RE: Israel– with many, not that it is secular, but because the Mosiach (Messiah) ha snot arrived, in Jerusalem — which is why the few do not recognize Israel.

Yes, that’s true. And since it is, I’ve finally found something for which to thank Obama. While he has certainly increased the numbers of the incurably moronic, he has caused them to amass in discrete locations, the better to identify them.

Dear Infidels/ Kuffar/ None Muslims, it is VITAL that you realize that one does not need more than two brain cells of logic to understand Muslims & Islam in a nutshell~
Every Muslim is the enemy of every none Muslim Infidel/ Kafir on planet Earth (80% of current of none Muslim humanity)
Every Muslim is a potential Mass Murderer the instant he/ she decides that he/she is NOT Sharia compliant enough
Every Muslim is therefore a hair trigger Time Bomb primed to go off
Only in the WARPED imagination of our elites can one find Moderate Militant Radical or Extremist Muslims because in reality Muslims are Muslims just as Nazis are Nazis and no one ever addressed Nazis as Moderate Militant Radical or Extremist
All other explanations are superfluous and redundant
It is time for every decent human being to go out in the street and declares these TRUTHS in public. No way can the elites arrest and incarcerate free people in their tens of thousands without a REVOLUTION ensuing
CAIR, ISNA and ALL other such Muslim organizations are by the fact of their Islam ENEMIES of both the US Constitution and the American people because NEITHER is Sharia compliant
Happy New Year to ALL of you !!!

American liberal Jews have been duped by Obama into continuing to donate to the dems. The Jewish population in the US is only 2% but they donate twice as much to the Democratic Party as the other 98% combined. Obama convinced them he had their backs, took their money and then stabbed them in the back. American Jews need to figure out who their friends are and who their enemies are.

I seldom respond to comments like yours, but I always read every word, so that I can try to understand what it is that makes a human brain capable of such irrationality and idiocy.
Imagine my surprise, when out of the 250 or so words you put down in such poorly punctuated, grammatically unsound style, I found some sense…!
There are five words in your post which actually ARE true:
“…palestinian land, is a myth…”
Kaler Cali says
Yes men of humanity are all brothers here and the only superior among them is the one who follow the truth, the teachings of all Messengers/ Prophets, do good deeds and worship the only One God. Why the question of superiority being claim by some when that is a pride with which evil gains access to drive the weak man into committing sin, trespasses, violations of laws. True faith in Almighty God Who is the only One creator, never slumber, never had a son or daughter, no one here had seen Him, only His voice heard by Prophet Moses before in the mount.. can be the real solution to keep away evil, wrong doings and be a brother to all men across the globe. Happy New Year to all. May God enlighten us all. Ameen!!!

I KNOW how difficult it is for any Muslim to be rational. Let me assume that you may be the exception to the rule. Can you answer at least FIVE of the following questions TRUTHFULLY?
The Palestinian people obviously, if they truly existed, should have left their mark or are mentioned by others in history
If our Academics, Historians, Politicians and others are so sure that ‘Palestine & its people’, go back throughout most of recorded history, one would expect them to be able to answer a few very simple and basic questions about the alleged country of Palestine & its people, the Palestinians.
For example:
When was the country of Palestine founded and by whom?
Where did the Palestinian people originate from?
What were Palestine’s borders?
Who were its neighbours?
What language did the Palestinians speak?
What writing did they use?
What manuscripts or records did they leave whether written or engraved?
What was their religion?
Where are their temples?
What monuments attest to their existence?
What was the name of their capital?
Name its other major cities.
What was their currency called?
Are there any coins that attest to their economy?
What was Palestine’s form of government?
Name its kings or rulers.
What are their achievements?
With which other peoples did the Palestinians interact?
Where can one find any records where in the name of the country of Palestine or its people are mentioned?
What Archaeological sites can one name?
Where can one find the recorded history of these people?
Whom did they conquer or were conquered by?
Was Palestine ever recognized by a country whose existence, at that time or even now, leaves no room for misunderstanding?
Can anyone name at least Five Palestinian leaders before Arafat?
Since there is no such recognized country today, what caused its demise and when did it occur?

low iq alrasooli,relate the same question to the so-called israel to prove to me with cogent and irrefutable historical evidence that jews were the first human to settle there that entitles them monopoly over the whole land,including palestinian land recognised by un resolution pursuant to un charter.afterall who is israel?was he not the grandson of father abraham?before abraham went there, there were human being there.when joseph took his people to egypt they left other non-israelites there.during exodus,moses met non-israelites there.are you saying the jews exterminated all the non-israelites there pursuant to obnoxious samuel 15:3 inspired by the devil, not from true god?it means apart from what are contained in the evil bible and obnoxious talmud, there is no historical record to prove that the whole land belong to israelites.the evil bible and evil talmud are production of biased human minds to satisfy selfish interest of the jews;and therefore not valid material sources of international law.some liars among jews have been saying palestinians were brought and settled there when muslims conquered jerussalem during the reign of caliph umar.from where they were brought?prove it with same archaeological signs you asked me to produce to prove that palestinians were the ancient community there.under international law long possession is an evidence of ownership of the land.palestinians has been in possession of the land from time immemorial,more than 3000 years asserted by jews.i want you to prove to me when they first settled there and from where.did they eject the jews when they reached there or killed them like what is contained in obnoxious samuel 15:3?

80% of US Jews voted for Obama, Kerry & Hillary, who hate Israel and want to harm it. Let’s face it, most of these jews are nuts and cannot be trusted. But for the support of righteous gentiles in the US, Israel would face annihilation.
Terry says
jeff, i beleive that the figure is closer to 70%; among orthodox ( religions Jews) maybe 10% vote Dem.
A problem, many Jews live in areas like NYC and LA, where the liberturds outnumber everyone else, so their votes don’t even matter.
as to trust- jews are probably MORE LOYAL to the Us than other religions. John Walker and his family were CHRISTIANS, and they sold out to the USSR (during the Cold War) ( and he was a naval officer); the one-forgot his name for a moment- who ‘exposed” the NSA- and supposedly took 150,000 documents that he turned over to the press, and Oliver Stone made into a hero-took (as per a new book about him, by someone who spent a few years gathering the data) the number is in the area of 1,500,000 documents. And, he was interviewed by the KGB 9 or whatever their new name is- and they probably have the docs). He was and is not Jewish.
The sliem planning to join ISIS- JW ( before I posted- about a year or so ago) had the story of a Catholic girl in Colorado-whose parents called the FBI; and few Jews convert to Islam-the prison converts are (I would guess) at a minimum 90% born protestant –even if they did not follow the religion.

Well, Ibrahim, there is indeed a reason why neither IQ nor myself bothered to address your comment; however, that reason is not as you stated. We do have an idea: The Palestinians do not have valid ownership of the land. In fact, there has never been a Palestinian country; nor is there any truth to pre-1967 borders.
“Here we go again with the U.N. peddling the biggest geo-political hoax of all time — that Israel’s control over Judea and Samaria is illegal, that it belongs to a distinct Arab people called “Palestinians,” and that the source of Islamist mayhem across the globe is a smattering of Jewish homes being built in their ancestral land. Land, which by the way, is virtually invisible on a map compared to the mass of land controlled by Islam.”
