The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today condemned the latest Israeli massacre of children in Gaza.
An Israeli strike on a house in Jabalia in northern Gaza killed at least 10 people from one family, mostly children, the oldest reportedly age six.

Earlier this week, CAIR said the Biden administration, through its complicity with the Gaza genocide, is responsible for the so-called “line of corpses” Israeli forces maintain in Gaza in which anyone – including children – entering the zone is shot and their bodies left to be devoured by dogs.

Israel has slaughtered more 45,000 people in Gaza, mostly women and children.
In a statement, CAIR National Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper said:
“The U.S.-backed Israeli slaughter of Palestinian children must end. Even Biden administration officials who support, enable and excuse Israel’s genocide should be horrified by the images of children slaughtered using American taxpayer-funded bombs. All people of conscience in our nation and worldwide must act to end Israel’s slaughter, mass destruction, forced starvation, and ethnic cleansing.”
He noted that CAIR recently called a report by British watchdog AirWars, which showed unprecedented civilian casualties in Gaza in the first 25 days of the war, the “latest evidence” of the Israeli government’s genocidal intent.
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.
