Muslim Group CAIR Wants Biden ‘War Criminals’ to Lose Academic Gigs
“played key roles in developing, justifying and executing the Biden administration’s most disastrous foreign policy decisions”
This is fascinating because this sort of thing doesn’t typically happen to Democrats.
The College Fix reports:
Muslim group wants Biden ‘war criminals’ canceled from academic gigs
Two Biden foreign policy officials should lose their academic appointments, according to the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
The Muslim advocacy group called former U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and Middle East policy coordinator Brett McGurk “war criminals,” in a petition and two letters directed at Harvard University and the University of New Hampshire.
Harvard hired both Sullivan and McGurk for roles this semester. UNH also appointed Sullivan to a “senior fellow” role.
Both officials “played key roles in developing, justifying and executing the Biden administration’s most disastrous foreign policy decisions,” according to CAIR.
These decisions include “the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan that ended with a drone attack on an innocent Afghan family and weapons transfers to support the Israeli government’s genocide in Gaza despite federal law forbidding those transfers.”
“Government officials who flout federal law, lie to the American public, and enable deadly foreign policy catastrophes should not be able to cash out on their disastrous time in office by failing up and taking up positions at prominent colleges and universities,” CAIR Deputy Executive Director Edward Mitchell stated in a news release.
The group did not respond to emails and phone calls in the past month seeking further comment and any update on the petition.
Harvard and UNH also did not respond to similar outreach requests, seeking comment on the petition.
However, an Orthodox Jewish rabbi criticized the petition in emailed comments to The Fix.
“CAIR has a long record of support for antisemitism and terrorism, and these statements are no exception,” Rabbi Yaakov Menken of the Coalition for Jewish values said via email.
He particularly criticized the group’s use of the term genocide, writing:
The term genocide, coined by a Jewish writer during the Holocaust, requires ‘intent to destroy’ a group, rather than any alternative explanation. So there are two options: 1) CAIR so devalues Jewish lives that it cannot imagine the Israelis might want to rescue hostages or eliminate the danger of the explicitly genocidal Hamas terror organization. Or 2) CAIR knows Israel is trying to prevent a genocide, but wants that genocide to happen, and is intentionally projecting its own hateful agenda upon the intended victims.

I want the lot of things. You can’t always get what you want. CAIR should never get what they want.
b/c fjb didnt order the destruction of israel he is considered by them to be as bad as trump
cair are t errrrrrrorists:
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.

F*ck CAIR.
CAIR is an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood. Several Muslim countries have banned the brotherhood and its offshoots as a terrorist organization. Why hasn’t the U.S.?
