An article in the Jerusalem Post provides numerous reasons why the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) isn’t credible. Yet far too many mainstream media outlets allow CAIR to spread its propaganda, despite the fact that this unsavory organization was designated a Hamas-linked, unindicted conspirator in America’s largest terrorism funding trial, that of the Holy Land Foundation.
Now CAIR is yet again pushing the Palestinian jihad agenda in the face of the IDF’s operation in Jenin to root out jihad terrorists who were being harbored there. Jenin is not merely a “refugee camp,” as CAIR states. It is a stronghold for jihad groups.
CAIR knows that the Palestinian “resistance” has become a staple of the Democrat platform.
Similarly in Canada, the CAIR offshoot known as the National Council of Canadian Muslims (formerly CAIR-CAN) formally urged the Canadian government to “condemn the attacks on Al-Aqsa Mosque” in May 2021, during Operation Guardian of the Walls, a defensive Israeli operation in response to a barrage of Hamas rocket fire. NCCM also sent out a petition for supporters to demand that the government “publicly” condemn Israel. Honest Reporting also wrote about the NCCM’s hypocrisy and disingenuousness in an article last year: “Canadian Muslim Group Blames Israel For Violent Palestinian Rioting.”
The political interference of questionable Muslim lobbyists in matters concerning Israel should not be encouraged in Western societies, but Palestinian-supporting governments always enable such propagandists.
“CAIR Calls on White House to Condemn, Intervene to Stop Israeli Government’s ‘War Crimes’ in Palestinian Refugee Camp,” by Ibrihim Hooper, Hamas-linked CAIR, July 3, 2023:
(WASHINGTON, D.C., 7/3/2023) – The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today condemned “war crimes” being committed against Palestinian civilians in Jenin refugee camp and called on the United States to take concrete action to stop the Israeli government’s escalating human rights abuses.
Israeli occupation forces carried out drone strikes and troops in the city of Jenin in the occupied West Bank, injuring numerous civilians, killing at least nine Palestinians, including children, cutting off water and electricity across the camp, and reportedly bombing near a mosque.

In a statement, CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad said:
“We strongly condemn the war crimes that Benjamin Netanyahu’s racist government is committing against Palestinian civilians in the Jenin refugee camp using American taxpayer dollars, and we call on the State Department to do the same….

Why do I feel that Abu Mazen is writing big checks to CAIR to perpetuate this tripe? CAIR finds its natural allies in ant-Israel “Jewish” movements such as JVP and J Street – who are likely directly contributing to that specific anti-Israel donation.

I do not kmow if the idea of hypocracy exists in Muslim/Arabic culture but if it does not they certainly know how to use it. Is not training children ro be terrorists a war crime, never mind sending them to fight the IDF? Then of course the IDF will shoot some of them and be accused of war crimes.
Of course their heroes the Nazis did the same thing with German children.

Well, on the diplomatic front, Biden has already done everything anti-Israel possible. What more does CAIR want us to do – invade Israel? Given the state of our woke military, we’d lose, and then what? Every country in the world that’s somewhat scared of US would break loose and do whatever it wanted w/ its enemies
Btw CAIR, where do you stand on the LGBTQIA2S+ now? Looks like your constituents in Hamtramck are against it

Awkward Daily Reminder to Palestinian muslims..
allah SUPPORTS THE RIGHT OF ISRAEL TO EXIST
1}”O my people!Go into the HOLY LAND which allah hath ordained for you”
koran 5:21
2}And WE said unto the CHILDREN OF ISRAEL after him:DWELL IN THE LAND.
but when the promise of the hereafter cometh to pass WE shall bring you as a crowd gathered out of various nations
koran 17;104
Looks like your allah SUPPORTS ISRAEL on this matter
FYI says
And remember..”it is written”.in the koran.and you can’t argue with allah as”it is written”
Surely you would not dispute the right of ISRAEL to defend itself:-the Holy Land that allah says he ordained for the Jews where they are currently DWELLING?
allah surely SUPPORTS ISRAEL on this matter.
“It is written”
