Biden Slammed for Enabling Israeli Massacres in Gaza
Muslim civil rights group have also denounced the Biden administration’s decision not to sanction the Israeli army units that committed gross human rights abuses.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the United States’ largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, on Saturday called on Biden to “stop enabling” the mass slaughter of Palestinian civilians after the Israeli regime killed more than 70 Palestinians and wounded hundreds in strikes on the al-Mawasi “safe zone” in Gaza.
Medical personnel seeking to recover bodies and treat those injured in the massacre say they were attacked by Israeli forces and that most of the victims were children.
CAIR also condemned a newly-reported decision by the Biden administration not to sanction an Israeli army unit despite evidence of gross human rights abuses it committed against Palestinian civilians, including the murder of an elderly Palestinian-American.
CNN quoted a former member of the unit who said: “A lot of us probably did not see Arabs, Palestinians in particular, as someone with rights – okay, like they’re really the occupier of some of the land and they need to be moved.”
In a statement, CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad said:
“Israel’s far-right government carries out this mass slaughter of Palestinians secure in the knowledge that it will be supported and excused by the Biden administration and that American bombs and taxpayer funds will continue to flow. President Biden’s continuing support for and silence about the genocide gives a green light for more Israeli abuses and war crimes.
“President Biden must stop enabling these daily massacres and end our nation’s complicity in genocide. Administration officials must begin to treat Palestinians as human beings worthy of life, dignity and justice, not as animals only fit for slaughter.”

He noted that CAIR recently condemned a reported decision by the Biden administration to send Israel the 500-pound bombs for its genocide in Gaza that had previously been held back.
Awad said media silence about the daily massacres only serves to “normalize” genocide.
Israel has slaughtered almost 40,000 Palestinians in Gaza, mostly women and children. Other estimates put the total death toll at 186,000. The vast majority of Gazans have been driven from their homes.
