"Phil Tottenham, an Ohio veteran who put his life on the line for this country, is now being unjustly held for standing up for human rights. His abduction by Israeli forces is not only a violation of international law but an assault on the values we claim to uphold as Americans, freedom, justice, and the protection of those who act with conscience.
Every elected official has a moral and constitutional duty to intervene immediately. Silence is complicity, and Ohioans will not stand silent while one of our own is targeted for delivering humanitarian aid." @CAIROhio

We condemn last night’s deadly attack on Israeli embassy employees in Washington, D.C.
While millions of Americans feel extreme frustration at the sight of the Israeli government slaughtering Palestinian men, women and children on a daily basis with weapons paid for by our taxpayer dollars, political violence is an unacceptable crime and is not the answer. Period.
Such violence only undermines the pursuit of justice. Peaceful protest, civil disobedience and political engagement are the only appropriate and acceptable tools to advocate for policy change in our nation, including an end to U.S. support for the Israeli government’s genocide in Gaza.

"The unimaginable scale of destruction caused by Israeli attacks, using American weapons supplied by the Biden administration, is intentional and designed to make Gaza unlivable. This ethnic cleansing and cultural erasure must be stopped.” #GazaGenocide

Our ED @NihadAwad: “This disturbing analysis by @scrippsnews and @bellingcat once again shows to the world that #Israel’s genocidal campaign in #Gaza seeks to erase Palestinian culture and history...”
In our latest documentary, Bellingcat and @scrippsnews used satellite imagery and open source videos and photos to identify dozens of cultural heritage and religious sites that have either been damaged or destroyed in Gaza. bellingcat.com/news/2024/06/…

BREAKING NEWS: CAIR just won our #SCOTUS case against the FBI in a 9-0 vote. Alhamdulillah, this is a huge victory in our long fight to hold the government accountable for its discriminatory, Orwellian watchlist. Anti-Muslim bigotry under the guise of national security must end.

59 years ago today, #MalcolmX (El Hajj Malik El Shabazz) was martyred.
Here he is in Gaza 60 years ago where he stood in solidarity with the Palestinians and wrote in opposition to the Zionist project.
Before genocide, it was apartheid. And truth tellers were already speaking.
May Allah have mercy on Malcolm and reward him for his sacrifices. Ameen

We are mortified by @LondonBreed's letter, which uncritically repeats the Israeli propaganda justifying genocide. Her words further harm all of our communities here. That there is no mention of Israeli war crimes or rising Islamophobia is a glaring omission in and of itself. 1/3

“We fail to understand why President Biden would rather risk a regional war by bombing Yemen instead of simply stopping the Gaza genocide that is fueling conflict across the world," said our ED @NihadAwad. #Yemen #GazaGenocide #CEASEFIRE_NOW #Gaza

Our #Ohio chapter @CAIROhio condemned @Lyft's response to this incident. "It is deeply troubling that Lyft did not thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident before taking punitive action against Mr. Zaghmot." @Brookethenews #Gaza
