TheCouncil on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today strongly condemned the Biden administration’s “toothless, useless” response to the Israeli massacre of World Central Kitchen aid workers in Gaza.
Reports by multiple media outlets and witnesses show that the waves of Israeli attacks on three different aid cars traveling on a pre-approved route was intentional.
White House spokesman John Kirby, while condemning the massacre, refused to admit that Israel’s actions were delibrate or to change the Biden administration’s policy of sending arms to Israel.
“The Biden administration should be ashamed of itself for its feckless, toothless and useless response to the Israeli government’s brazen, deliberate murder of seven World Central Kitchen aid workers, including an American citizen,” said CAIR National Deputy Director Edward Ahmed Mitchell. “This Israeli government massacre of humanitarian aid workers occurred because the Biden administration has spent months making it clear that the United States will not hold Netanyahu’s government accountable for any war crimes it commits. By now calling once again for Israel to investigate itself and preposterously claiming that there’s no evidence of the deliberate targeting of these aid workers as they traveled in three different clearly-marked cars, the Biden administration is giving the Israeli government a greenlight to kill many more innocent people.”
Yesterday, CAIR said President Biden bears responsibility for the reported Israeli mass slaughter, torture of civilians and widespread destruction at and in the area of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza.
Last week, CAIR strongly condemned a new American military aid package including 2,000-pound bombs and aircraft to Israel, saying that support for Israel’s genocide makes President Biden a “war criminal.” CAIR Deputy Executive Director Edward Ahmed Mitchell said: “Arming a war criminal makes you a war criminal.”
CAIR’s mission is to protect civil rights, enhance understanding of Islam, promote justice, and empower American Muslims.
