(WASHINGTON, DC – 12/2/2023) – The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today condemned the latest “Israeli war crime of the day” after more than 100 men, women and children were killed in the bombing of residential buildings hosting displaced families in Gaza’s Jabalia refugee camp.

Yesterday, CAIR condemned the Biden administration for giving the Israeli government the “green light” to resume bombing Gaza and called on the United States to join other governments in demanding the resumption of the ceasefire and negotiations to secure a just, lasting peace.
In a statement, CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad said:
“Each day brings another war crime in the far-right Israeli government’s genocidal campaign of ethnic cleansing in Gaza. These are American bombs being dropped on civilians – paid for with American taxpayer dollars. Each new war crime by the Israeli government that is ignored or excused by the United States only serves to undermine our expressions of support for human rights and to expose the hypocrisy of everyone who is enabling Netanyahu’s war crimes.”
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.
