Bodies tossed from the rooftops were also shown being desecrated by Israeli bulldozers
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today called video of Israeli soldiers throwing the bodies of Palestinian civilians from rooftops in the occupied West Bank “sickening and depraved.”
The bodies dropped from the rooftops were also desecrated by Israeli bulldozers.
In a statement, CAIR National Deputy Director Edward Ahmed Mitchell said:
“The sickening and depraved actions of the Israeli soldiers who threw the bodies of Palestinian civilians from rooftops and desecrated them with bulldozers should shock the conscience of all Americans and must result in concrete actions by the Biden administration, which is enabling and excusing Israel’s war crimes.”
Earlier today, CAIR called on the Biden administration to take action after a UN committee accused Israel of “massively” violating the child rights treaty in Gaza.
Yesterday, CAIR called on the Biden administration to condemn the Israeli government for killing children and maiming numerous civilians in Lebanon by detonating bombs reportedly placed in pagers without any regard for innocent life.
