On Thursday November 13, the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization will host “The Distraction Game: Why Israel’s Supporters Are Stoking Anti-Muslim Hysteria Across the West.”
In recent months, the Israeli government and its supporters have launched a coordinated campaign to stoke anti-Muslim hysteria in the United States and other western nations.

DATE AND TIME: Thursday, November 13, 12 PM ET
BACKGROUNDER:
DropSite News recently revealed that the Israeli Foreign Ministry is conducting a global survey of the United States and European nations to figure out how to reverse increasingly negative western attitudes towards Israel. The survey results shows that support for Israel rebounds by 20 points when pollsters stoke fear of Muslims. Cue the sudden surge in anti-Muslim rhetoric across the pro-Israel ecosphere.
From the imaginary threat of Sharia law taking over America to the claim that every Muslim critical of Israel must be a Hamas agent, Israel’s supporters are weaponizing anti-Muslim hate in a transparent attempt to undermine Muslim activists advocating for Palestinian human rights and distract western populations who are increasingly critical of Israel First policies. Especially political conservatives.
Join researchers and advocates to expose disinformation, counter anti-Muslim bigotry, and overcome this dangerous attempt to distract America from threats to free speech, democracy and human rights.
CAIR recently released an analysis how anti-Palestinian racists and far-right Hindutva apologists and their U.S. allies and contractors are targeting Muslims.
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.
