“The occupation is driving the violence, and it is long past time for the United States to bring this violence to an end by demanding an end to the occupation. Only justice for all will once again allow everyone to peacefully coexist in a land that so many hold dear,” said CAIR-Ohio Executive Director Amina Barhumi.
