The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today said reports that Israel is using a fleet of armed Chines drones to ethnically-cleanse Gaza is part of a “dystopian nightmare” straight from “The Terminator” and enabled by U.S. and world leaders.
According to the Israeli media outlet +972 Magazine:
“The Israeli government’s use of weaponized drones to systematically hunt starving Palestinian men, women and children and force them out of their homes is a dystopian nightmare straight from The Terminator. Words fail to describe the horror and intentional cruelty of such acts of genocide, including the use of drones emitting the sound of crying babies to lure Palestinians into traps. This nightmare being inflicted on the Palestinian people, with the complicity of our government, European leaders, and numerous Arab governments, must come to an end.”

This report comes as Israel slaughtered 15 Palestinians, including eight children and two women, who were waiting for nutritional supplements in front of a clinic in central Gaza.
Israel has already slaughtered almost 58,000 people in Gaza, mostly women and children, and has laid waste to the entire area in a campaign of ethnic cleansing, mass destruction and forced starvation.
In a statement, CAIR National Deputy Director Edward Ahmed Mitchell said:
“The use of weaponized drones to drive a starving population out of their homes in an intentional campaign of ethnic cleansing is a dystopian nightmare that until now has only been seen in science fiction such as ‘The Terminator.’ Words fail to describe the horror and intentional cruelty of such acts of genocide. This nightmare being inflicted on the Palestinian people, with the complicity of our government and world leaders, must come to an end.”
Yesterday, CAIR condemned the Trump administration’s decision to impose sanctions on U.N. Human Rights Council Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese for her criticism of Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. CAIR also condemned the reported delivery of dozens of U.S. bulldozers to the Israeli military for use in its ethnic cleansing of Gaza and the illegally-occupied West Bank.
