OK..how about no welfare for Muslims. Seems a fair trade.

"An Islamic civil rights and advocacy group"

Isn't it more accurate to say that CAIR is a terrorist-linked group? Some of their associates have been decidedly against the civil rights of non-muslims.

Well the Palis just got 50mill of our tax dollars as I recall. Israel should get 4x that. (at least!)

I'm with the muslims on this but not of course for their reason.

We send far too much money to Israel.

What's wrong with that? US tax dollars should fund US citizens, not foreign ones. The cost of the settlements has been at least $50 billion dollars in the past 50 years. How much of that came from American pockets? If some Americans want to fund Israeli settlements, do it on your own dimes.

Seems like a good idea.

This really isn't about Israel, it's about CAIR showing it's true colors for all the world to see. Note the following statement from CAIR,

"Such funds could be better used to improve conditions for ordinary Palestinians, whose lives have been devastated by decades of brutal occupation," the group added."

Wonder what happened to all that "Moderate Muslim" BS they stated spewing earlier? There are no "Moderate Muslims", but they will try to convince us Non-Muslims that there is, to lull us to sleep.

I've long since wanted tax dollars to STOP going to those terrorist thugs people call 'the palistinians'.... cut off all that aid and we can talk.

I actually agree with them. If the Israelis want to commit suicide let them do it on their own dime.

Israel is reported to be seeking $2.2 billion in additional aid

It is my understanding that there are about 5,000 Jewish settlers in the Gaza strip. This works out to about $440,000 per settler, or about $1.8 MILLION for each family of four. Why so much?

Well, for starters, CAIR forgot to identify the brutal occupiers. For my money that would be Arafat and his PLO/Fatah organization which deliberately kept the Palestinian people in brutal conditions to blackmail the world into supporting their cause while Arafat siphoned literally billions of international aid into his own bank accounts.

I actually have no problem having tax money assist Israel as our only real ally in the Middle East. Better there than to continue sinking it into the totalitarian black holes of Africa.

Why is it that no one of minority status in the US is called on their blatant racism?

Islamic civil rights

A triple oxymoron!
