The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today condemned the continuing Biden administration-enabled mass slaughter of civilians in Gaza, including an Israeli airstrike targeting a post office housing displaced families. Most of those murder using U.S.-supplied weapons were women and children.

In a statement, CAIR National Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper said:
“As President Biden insults the American Muslim community and all other people of conscience with a call to challenge Islamophobia domestically, his administration is simultaneously sending U.S. taxpayer-funded weapons to the Islamophobic, genocidal government of indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu to continue slaughtering Palestinian civilians, destroying mosques, and desecrating Qurans. This hypocrisy must end. So must the slaughter, forced starvation, ethnic cleansing, and mass destruction of Gaza.”
He noted that earlier this month, CAIR said the Biden administration must end arms shipments to Israel after a new report by Amnesty International, titled “You Feel Like You Are Subhuman’: Israel’s Genocide Against Palestinians in Gaza,” concludes that Israel has committed – and still is committing – genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
