The main Muslim civil rights group in the United States has called on the Biden administration to end the Israeli regime’s genocide in the Gaza Strip instead of waging war across West Asia, citing the latest strikes in Iraq and Syria as proof of “the total failure” of U.S. foreign policy in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation\u2019s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, urged U.S. President Joe Biden to end the Israeli regime\u2019s genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza instead of waging war across West Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that American forces had struck multiple targets in Iraq and Syria on Friday night. Following CENTCOM’s announcement, CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad said, \u201cPresident Biden should change course to protect both American soldiers and people of the region from more violence.” “Justice and freedom for the Palestinian people \u2013 not more bombs \u2013 is what can build a more peaceful future for the region,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CAIR welcomes a recent declaration by a federal court in California that the Israeli regime forces months-long attacks against defenseless Palestinians trapped in the besieged Gaza Strip \u201cplausibly\u201d amount to genocide, Awad added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Awad said the U.S.-based civil rights group had called on Biden to personally condemn the Zionist forces’ massacre of Palestinian civilians in Gaza who were waiting for humanitarian aid in Gaza City. He further added that CAIR had condemned a newly-revealed policy of the far-right Israeli regime led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to further implement ethnic cleansing in Gaza by burning unoccupied Palestinian homes from which residents have been forced to flee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier this week, CAIR condemned the Biden administration\u2019s \u201cmorally depraved and glaringly inconsistent\u201d decision to engage in collective punishment against Palestinians by cutting funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) in response to unsubstantiated and suspiciously timed allegations made by the Israeli regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last week, CAIR welcomed a preliminary ruling by the ICJ, that declares South Africa\u2019s charge of genocide against the Israeli government plausible. The ICJ, last month, ordered the Israeli regime to try and prevent genocidal acts from being committed by the Zionist forces inside Gaza, however, stopped short of ordering a ceasefire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In December, CAIR called Israel\u2019s massacre of at least 70 people in a strike on Gaza\u2019s Maghazi refugee camp and murdered several pregnant women. Also in December, the US-based civil rights group called for a United Nations investigation regarding Israeli regime forces in Gaza carrying out summary executions of unarmed Palestinian men in front of their family members.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
