The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, tonight condemned the far-right Israeli government’s renewed genocidal attacks on Gaza.
More than 200 people, including many children, have been slaughtered by Israel after it broke the ceasefire.
In a statement, CAIR said:
“We strongly condemn the far-right government of indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu for resuming its horrific and genocidal attacks on the men, women and children of Gaza, killing hundreds of civilians in a matter of hours.
“Netanyahu would clearly rather massacre Palestinian children in refugee camps than risk the disintegration of his cabinet by exchanging all those held by both sides and permanently ending the genocidal war, as required by the ceasefire agreement that President Trump helped broker and that he must salvage.
“The genocide must permanently stop, the blockade of Gaza must be lifted, all hostages, captives and political prisoners on both sides should go free, and then a real peace process that ends with freedom and human dignity for the Palestinian people must begin.”
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.
