The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, tonight condemned the latest Israeli massacre of Palestinians in a so-called “safe area” in Gaza reportedly using what CAIR called “one-ton Biden bombs.”
Dozens of people have been killed and injured in an attack on people sheltering in tents in al-Mawasi in southern Gaza. The attack reportedly took place near a field hospital run by the British charity UK-Med.

[NOTE: Earlier this year, CAIR strongly condemned the Biden administration’s new military aid package including 2,000-pound bombs and aircraft to Israel.]
In a statement, CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad said:
“The far-right genocidal Israeli government continues to use its one-ton Biden bombs to massacre Palestinians as if they were sheep for the slaughter, not human beings deserving life and freedom.
“The continued military and financial support for Israel’s genocide by President Biden will live in the memories of the survivors of these massacres and in the hearts of their loved ones for generations to come.
“If the Biden administration does not radically change course now by forcing a ceasefire on Netanyahu, it will be clear that it does not seem to have a shred of humanity left and that no crime will stop it from enabling the Gaza genocide.”
Earlier today, called on the Biden administration to address a UN report asserting that Israel is conducting a “starvation campaign” in Gaza.
CAIR’s mission is to protect civil rights, enhance understanding of Islam, promote justice, and empower American Muslims.
La misión de CAIR es proteger las libertades civiles, mejorar la comprensión del Islam, promover la justicia, y empoderar a los musulmanes en los Estados Unidos.
