The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today demanded that President Biden personally intervene with the far-right Israeli government to stop what it called a “terminator hellscape” in northern Gaza in which drones and quadcopters roam the skies killing anything that moves while a Medieval siege denies food to those lest alive.
Thousands of people are under Israeli siege in Jabalia refugee camp according to Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). “Nobody is allowed to get in or out; anyone who tries is getting shot,” said MSF project coordinator Sarah Vuylsteke. No food aid has entered northern Gaza since Sept. 30. At least 300 people have been killed by Israeli forces since the latest siege began, with many bodies left in the streets.
The mass slaughter, starvation and ethnic cleansing in northern Gaza comes as Israeli media reports Israel’s planned annexation of parts of Gaza and the implementation of the so-called “Gerneral’s Plan” in which every human being left in northern Gaza would be either starved or killed.
Israel has already slaughtered more than 42,000 Palestinians in Gaza – mostly women and children – forced the displacement of almost all of the populations, laid waste to the civilian infrastructure, and imposed forced starvation.

“What is happening in northern Gaza now is a genocide within the genocide,” said Palestinian Ambassador Majed Bamya, deputy permanent observer to the UN.
In a statement, CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad said:
“We demand that President Biden immediately personally intervene to stop the Terminator hellscape Israel has created in northern Gaza where its drones and quadcopters roam the skies, killing anything that moves, while a Medieval siege denies food to those left alive. Israel is trying to eliminate every human being in the Jabalia refugee camp. The world is watching our government’s complicity with ethnic cleansing and genocide. Future statements by American officials claiming to be in support of human rights anywhere will be met with ‘remember Gaza.’”
Awad asked “all Americans of conscience” to contact the White House to demand action and urged those active on social media to post messages in support of an end to the Gaza genocide and in support of Palestinian human rights.
He noted that last week, CAIR demanded that the Biden administration stop Israel’s genocidal plans for an Israeli “extermination zone” in northern Gaza in which every remaining human being would be starved to death or killed by U.S. weapons.
