CAIR: Violence in Israel Comes After Years of Oppressive Policies

Israel’s defense minister has ordered a “complete siege” of the Gaza strip and a cutoff of water supplies, food and electricity two days after Hamas militants launched surprise attacks that left hundreds of people Israel dead or kidnapped. Israeli counterstrikes on Gaza have since killed hundreds of Palestinians. VOA’s Carol Van Dam spoke with Robert McCaw, government affairs director of CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, about how the violence will end.

This interview has been edited for brevity and clarity.

[DallasBiff]

This is VOA?

[dfwgator]

It’s like justifying The Holocaust because of The Versailles Treaty.

[Mr. K]

“Oppressive politics” came after centuries of trying to kill Jews.

[Kriggerel]

The Fourth Estate morphed into a Fifth Column a very long time ago...

[Signalman]

McCaw: The Israeli government has used American taxpayer dollars to murder Palestinian American journalists in the last year, leave a beaten and gagged elderly Palestinian for dead, expanded illegal settlements, and enabled wanton settler violence, which, by the way, targeted American Palestinians taking shelter calling on the U.S. government for protection, which they did not get.

Absolute bullsh*t.

[Jolla]

“how the violence will end”

Gaza ends up a construction site for sea front development.

[sjmjax]

Just part of a decades long, multi generational process to infiltrate, control, subvert or destroy everything with power or influence.

[BenLurkin]

bttt

[Bob434]

is CAIR suggesting that the proper response to not being allowed to trod through sensitive areas freely is to rape the life out of women and children, cut babies heads off, burn babies and elderly people alive?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

WTH??? VOA is quoting CAIR Government Affairs Director Robert McCaw in “CAIR: Violence in Israel Comes After Years of Oppressive Policies”!?

The Voice of America is now pro-terrorist — that fits right in with Democrats letting Iranians infiltrate our government.

[escapefromboston]

Yeah and blacks rob the 7-11 after years of police brutality (or whatever the outrage Du Jour is)

[Glad2bnuts]

Et tu VOA? Defund them

[Uncle Miltie]

This is Voice Of Hamas.

[mass55th]

"It’s like justifying The Holocaust because of The Versailles Treaty."

And that was basically Hitler's line of thinking.

[ConservativeInPA]

Gaza ends up a construction site for sea front development.

Hopefully with zero Arab inhabitants. Otherwise it won’t be successful.

[No name given]

I hope so!

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

So, that justifies violence? Well, I may need to become Palestinian. I have a lot to share with many former employers and especially school superintendents, school board members and some teachers.

Also 3-4 very bad bosses in the past. One didn’t pay my Social Security and the government did not do anything to him. On and on and on. Waiting for our government to announce support for Hamas’s action to give us all cause to do something about that former oppression.

[Tacrolimus1mg]

Israel offered to leave Gaza on multiple occasions, and to take all of the Israelis with them. Palestinians said no. They want to wipe Jews off the map, and it only got worse after the PA was deposed for Hamas.

No sympathy from me.
