White House Caves to Anti-Israel Pressure on Anti-Semitism Rollout (Biden "enlists" Hamas-linked racist antisemitic CAIR on hate)

Biden admin says it 'welcomes and appreciates' watered-down definition of anti-Semitism

Alana Goodman, May 25, 2023

... The White House said on Thursday that it is also partnering on the initiative with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which has a long history of anti-Semitism. CAIR "will launch a tour to educate religious communities about steps they can take to protect their houses of worship from hate incidents" as part of the initiative to combat anti-Semitism, the White House said in a statement.

5th Gen AZ Family- unelected to SC @bullfrog35:

Remember "Lady Al-Qaeda" who the #Colleyville terrorist wanted freed for synagogue hostages? There was a “free Lady Al-Qaeda” rally organized by CAIR weeks earlier in Ft. Worth. Yesterday, Biden administration mentioned CAIR: CAIR’s (supposed) job is to protect houses of worship.

Remember Ilhan Omar’s “some people did something” at the CAIR banquet? CAIR can now market their banquets as “fighting antiSemitism with the Biden-Harris Administration."

Jewish groups ‘extremely disturbed’ and say Biden ‘blew it’ on policy to counter anti-Semitism

By Victor Nava, May 25, 2023
The White House on Thursday rolled out a 60-page strategy to counter anti-Semitism in the United States that some Jewish and anti-hate groups say misses the mark....

The Republican Jewish Coalition also believes that the White House caved in to influence from the “anti-Israel left” when crafting the document.

How CUNY became America's most anti-Semitic university

New York Post, Apr 6, 2023 — The “cleansing” of Jewish students and lecturers from German ... the portal uses the CAIR-endorsed Jerusalem Declaration....

Abd Alla was a director at CAIR Minnesota, which pushed the BDS movement under her watch..

CUNY’s most powerful leaders have had documented ties or allegiances to the Hamas-connected Council on American-Islamic Relations.Google Maps

Never mind that CAIR’s Minnesota chapter is so extreme that even CAIR national has distanced itself from it.

In doubling down and commending CAIR’s work, the chancellor also falsely denied Abd Alla’s connection to the BDS movement.

Overseen by Abd Alla, the portal uses the CAIR-endorsed Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism, which the nonpartisan nonprofit education organization StandWithUs has blasted as “deeply harmful,” “intended to cause confusion” and an attempt to “further the spread of antisemitism.”

Anti-Semitic groups and individuals created the JDA to undermine the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s widely accepted anti-Semitism definition that more than 1,110 entities have adopted or endorsed..

CAIR Not Only Inspires Terrorists. It's Historically Linked to Them

Jan 23, 2022 — A recent report from the Council on  report from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), "Islamophobia in the Mainstream," is a case study in projection—the psychological process of attributing one's own defects to others. In this case, the defect is hate, and the target is an all-too familiar one: the Jewish people and their allies.

It is not difficult here to discern the hater from the hated: Just days after CAIR issued its report, Malik Faisal Akram pursued CAIR's antisemitic agenda by entering a Texas synagogue with a gun. In a speech delivered to a Muslim audience in November, the executive director of CAIR's San Francisco office, Zahra Billoo, identified "Zionist synagogues" like Congregation Beth Israel and all "polite Zionists"—essentially all Jews—as "your enemies," both Islamophobic and opposed to "human rights." Billoo further advised those listening and watching to "fight back."

Rather than disavow her hateful and antisemitic remarks, CAIR claimed that Billoo was "misquoted" and the victim of an "online smear campaign." Sadly for CAIR, the video is available for all to see...

CAIR Should be Held Responsible for Inciting Antisemitic Violence

Jan 22, 2022 — WHO IS CAIR?  Council on American-Islamic Relations is a Muslim civil rights advocacy NGO. It has its headquarters in Washington DC, as well as 33 chapters across the United States.

CAIR was founded in June 1994 with the mission to “challenge stereotypes of Islam and Muslims.”

CAIR conducts research on American Muslims and publishes reports on public opinion, demographics, and hate crime statistics. It also practices litigation regarding Islamophobic discrimination.

CAIR has long been accused of harboring Islamist ties (a reminder that Islamism and Islam are not the same thing. See my post ISLAMISM & ANTISEMITISM for more). In particular, it’s been accused of ties to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. CAIR has rejected these accusations, calling them an Islamophobic smear campaign..

CAIR Denies Condemning Anti-Semitism

By Oren Litwin - June 12, 2018
Part of how lawful Islamist groups are so insidious is that they are perfectly willing to pretend to respectability by mouthing the correct pieties of our tolerant society, but are quick to jettison their professed tolerance when it suits them – to the detriment of moderate Muslims everywhere. In the past few days, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) gave us a clinic in how it is done.

CAIR’s frequent ally, American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), has a recurring problem with anti-Semitism. Its founder, Hatem Bazian, has a long history of crude bigotry, and other AMP leaders are little better. In February, AMP-New Jersey president Sayel Kayed (a former member of AMP’s national board) gave a speech in Middlesex which included several grossly anti-Semitic statements, including the false and ludicrous claim that Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin claimed Jewish ownership of Mecca, and that Israel aspires to invade and annex all territory between the Nile and the Euphrates rivers; he also agreed with an audience member who claimed that most European Jews are descended from the Turkic Khazar people (a popular claim in anti-Semitic circles which has virtually no scientific support), and therefore have no historical claim on the land of Israel..

Exposing Islamic extremists

Jan 25, 2017 — O'REILLY: Who wants to get arms for the jihad? ... O'REILLY: That's the headquarters. All right. Finally and this the most controversial one, have you CAIR, the Council on America Islamic relations, they have been on this program. They do a lot of media. What are you saying that they are a dangerous group?

MAURO: Yes. They are basically a political influence operation of the Muslim Brotherhood, according to the Justice Department not according to me. They specifically listed CAIR as an entity of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood, specifically its Palestine committee that was secretly set up to advance the Hamas agenda. And the FBI wiretapped their leaders in 1993, talking about setting up CAIR, so they could influence the media in their direction.

It's time to declare war on ISIS Ben Carson, Fox News, Feb 15, 2016 —  Whether through violent attacks like San Bernardino or the shooting of a police officer in Philadelphia, or through social “lawfare” tactics designed to silence criticism and advance the goal of imposing sharia, Islamic jihad has already reached our shores. For example, the Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR) has been operating in the U.S. for more than 20 years. Although CAIR claims to represent peaceful Muslims in civil rights issues, its history ties directly to the terrorist organizations Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas.
CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation’s funding of terrorist attacks, several prominent members and founders have been incarcerated or deported for fraud and terrorism charges, and the countries of Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have designated it a terrorist organization..

Why can't Obama just tell Americans the truth about the Orlando attack and radical Islam?

By Pete Hoekstra, Fox News, June 13, 2016

The echo chamber of Islamist front organizations such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Muslim American Society and the Muslim Public Affairs Council facilitate the administration’s obfuscation. They rush to condemn the attacks to American audiences, yet they are the worst enablers of the attacks themselves.

CAIR, for example, routinely pressures American Muslims to not cooperate with law enforcement. White House records reveals that leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood regularly meet with officials at the highest levels of government to influence stewards of foreign policy into minimizing the threat from Islamic terror organizations.

Biden doesn’t care about Jews unless they are communists or liberal dupes & stooges such as the head of ADL, Nazi-aiding KAPOS like Soros, or self-haters.

This includes the viciously anti-Israel “Jews for Justice” and “Jewish Voices for Peace”, just about anything created or led by Arthur Waskow, the BDS movement, and similar operations and fronts for Islamic extremists.

Brandon’s whole pose as a fighter against anti-Semitism is just that, a pose, and a pretext to push censorship. I used to think that I hate Brandon. Now I know that I just despise him. Hatred takes dedication. He’s not worth it.

The Biden administration in its long-awaited report on combating Jew hatred is making a concession to anti-Israel activists by embracing a watered-down definition of anti-Semitism that says it's OK to hold the Jewish state to higher standards than other countries.

Just what 'standards' are we talking about here?

Just a couple days ago, the Biden Administration demanded that Netanyahu give up on the issue of Israeli judicial reform in exchange for USA "help" on a Saudi-Israel peace treaty.

The Biden White House does not "cave" to anti-Israel pressure.

The Biden White House "creates" anti-Israel pressure.

Yes, and many of them are self hating Jews (like Soros). They are high ranking members of the Golden Calf Deep State that run the banking system and the US Treasury.

Biden’s antisemitism strategy fails to condemn BDS, includes CAIR

There were many expectations for Biden’s “U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism” among the usual organizational types, but anyone with common sense could have seen this coming a mile away.

The “U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism” fails to address Muslim and leftist antisemitism. It briefly delves into campus antisemitism but does not address its source, has a single throwaway line about the attacks on Orthodox Jews in New York City and gives the pro-Israel IHRA definition of antisemitism nearly equal billing with the Nexus anti-Israel one.

The strategy claims that “there are several definitions of antisemitism, which serve as valuable tools to raise awareness and increase understanding of antisemitism,” including the IHRA definition, but noting that the Biden administration “welcomes and appreciates the Nexus Document and notes other such efforts.”
