The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the United States’ largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, on Sunday said history will judge President Biden and his administration’s officials for enabling genocide after another massacre of Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip, this time murdering 87 – including many children – in an Israeli attack on north Gaza’s Beit Lahiya.
UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Tor Wennesland condemned the Israeli air strikes in Beit Lahiya, calling them “horrifying scenes.”
In a statement, CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad said:
“How does one explain President Biden’s callous indifference to and enabling of Israel’s daily massacres of children and women in Gaza? ‘Genocide Joe’ no doubt will respond to the latest slaughter of Palestinian children as he always has, by sending more American taxpayer-funded weapons to the far-right Israeli government to slaughter even more civilians.
“History will hold ‘Genocide Joe’ and all those in his administration accountable for their complicity in this mass slaughter and unconscionable suffering. There must be an immediate end to this genocide.”
On Saturday, CAIR said the Israeli massacres of civilians in Gaza demonstrate the Biden administration’s lack of respect for Arab and Muslim humanity and its complicity with genocide.
The far-right Israeli regime has slaughtered more than 42,600 Palestinians in Gaza, mostly women and children, in the past year.
On Friday, CAIR condemned the reported Israeli “double tap” targeting a child in Gaza and the rescuers who came to that child’s aid.

Video posted online shows the child in the street after being wounded by Israeli fire. When other civilians came to that child’s aid, they were targeted by Israeli forces.
Last week, CAIR said “the seemingly endless list of Israeli massacres of civilians in Gaza is the direct result of the Biden administration’s complicity with genocide.”
