In a statement released yesterday, CAIR is condemning the Israeli response to defend its citizens.
“Despite the public ‘green light’ given to the Israeli military by the Bush administration, American Muslims join our fellow citizens who respect international law and the sanctity of human life in repudiating this massacre carried out using U.S. taxpayer-funded weapons.
“It must be clear by now that the only future offered to the Palestinian people by the outgoing administration was one of perpetual subjugation and humiliation at the hands of the Israeli occupiers. Unfortunately, our nation’s timid response to this tragic episode will only serve to fuel anti-American sentiments in the Muslim world.
“We therefore call on President-elect Obama to demonstrate his commitment to change our nation’s current one-sided Mideast policy by speaking out now in favor of peace and justice for all parties to this decades-long conflict.
“We also call on world leaders to take direct action to end Israel’s counterproductive and wildly disproportionate attacks and to end the humanitarian siege of Gaza, which led to the recent breakdown of the ceasefire.”
CAIR noted that the European Union (EU), Russia, the UN Secretary-General, the Arab League, the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), and other international bodies are all urging Israel to end it attacks.
Middle East envoy Tony Blair deplored the "tragic of loss of life,” while French President Nicolas Sarkozy condemned Israel’s “disproportionate use of force.”
EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana said the Israeli attacks were "inflicting an unacceptable toll on Palestinian civilians and will only worsen the humanitarian crisis as well as complicate the search for a peaceful solution.”
CAIR, America's largest Islamic civil liberties group, has 35 offices and chapters nationwide and in Canada. Its mission is to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding.
Not one word of caution to their murderous coreligionist. Not one plea for restraint. Not one appeal for an end to the violence being perpetrated in the name of their god.
CAIR, hypocrites to the end.

Don't these CAIR fools just burn you up?
Did you see where they have an action item to contact Obama's transition team to register Muslim complaints about Israel defending themselves?
(I hope Israel knocks the Palis on their Ham-ass.)
Oh you I did! The "action alert" whine-o-gram came yesterday. I think it's funny that they're finished with the Bush admin and are going right to The One with their lopsided appeals.
Sarkozy is too French to understand that "disproportionate" is the only thing the Palestinians understand. Proportionate would be Israel lobbing a bunch of rockets into Gaza, which would invite the mocking of Israel for their ineffectiveness. No, Israel needs to shut up Hamas with superior force.
I'm with Tony Blair. I, too, deplore the "tragic loss of life." It's tragic that the civilians who Hamas hid behind were killed, but Hamas--not Israel--is to blame for that. As for the dead Hamas members, that is proper loss of life, and I don't deplore that.
You know, I don't expect much from the Muslims out there...
But the U.N.-European-Russian-Leftist-Jew Haters are getting on my last nerve.
Great post.
Go Israel!
