“This proposal conflates Jewish faith and identity with the political actions of a foreign government and undermines the inclusive and respectful environment that public schools are meant to foster for all students, regardless of their background,” said Hussam Ayloush, executive director of CAIR-LA in a statement. “It is deeply insensitive and distressing to Palestinian students who have lost countless family members to Israel’s violent military campaign and the man-made humanitarian crisis in Gaza.”

Selaedin Maksut, executive director of the New Jersey chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, warned Pou will lose key support if she doesn’t stop accepting support from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee — one of its affiliates paid for the trip to Israel — and vocally support the Palestinian community in Pou’s 9th District, which includes Paterson neighborhoods with significant numbers of Palestinian residents.

“Even in the Republican Party, we are seeing more and more people come out very vocally and boldly against support of Israel. The blind support that our government has cannot be justified,” said Maksut.
