US Gov’t Slammed for Inaction on Israel’s Open, Ongoing Genocide in Gaza
This is according to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, which on Sunday questioned whether leaders in the United States and the Global North even regard Palestinians as “human” after more than 700 women, children and men were massacred by Israel within just the last 24 hours.
Israel has killed more than 15,500 Palestinians, mostly women and children in Gaza in recent weeks. Many more have been killed by Israeli occupation forces and illegal settlers in the West Bank.
On Sunday, CAIR condemned the latest “Israeli war crime of the day” after more than 100 men, women and children were killed in the bombing of residential buildings hosting displaced families in Gaza’s Jabalia refugee camp.
Previously, CAIR condemned the Biden administration for giving the Israeli regime the “green light” to resume bombing Gaza and called on the United States to join other governments in demanding the resumption of the ceasefire and negotiations to secure a just, lasting peace.
In a statement, CAIR National Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper said:
“One has to wonder whether leaders of our nation and the Global North even regard Palestinians as human beings, because if they did, those leaders would act to end the far-right Israeli government’s open and ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing targeting all Palestinians, whether in Gaza or the West Bank.
“Can anyone imagine any other nation killing more than 700 civilians in 24 hours – and more than 15,000 in mere weeks – not being universally condemned, with swift international action being taken? Why is Israel not only exempt from the repudiation that any other genocidal regime would face, but also the recipient of more bombs with which to massacre a civilian population?”

Hooper also questioned the Western media’s continuing repetition of Israeli propaganda seeking to justify its genocide and ethnic cleansing.
