The U.S.-based Muslim advocacy group the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) strongly criticized the White House on Wednesday over its “no red line” stance regarding Israel amid ongoing civilian casualties in Gaza attributable to Israeli airstrikes.
CAIR “strongly condemned White House representative John Kirby for once again declaring there are no ‘red lines’ or number of civilians the Israeli government can kill that would cause the US to stop supporting (Israeli Prime Minister) Benjamin Netanyahu’s genocidal attacks on civilians in Gaza,” mentioned the group in an announcement.
Its assertion referenced latest feedback by Kirby, the National Security Council spokesperson, who, when requested “is it still the case the administration has no red lines at all” concerning the Israeli operations in Gaza, confirmed “that is still the case.”
Robert McCaw, CAIR’s authorities affairs director, mentioned each such declaration with out “red lines” emboldens the Israeli authorities to escalate their navy actions in opposition to civilian targets equivalent to refugee camps, residence buildings, bakeries, ambulances and locations of worship.
“We call on Admiral Kirby—who nearly shed tears when speaking about Ukrainian civilians-to recognize that Palestinians are human beings too, and we call on the White House to end our nation’s complicity in Benjamin Netanyahu’s ongoing attempt at genocide,” mentioned McCaw.
He mentioned Israel “is committing war crimes” with American taxpayer {dollars} and U.S. help.
Israel has launched relentless air and floor assaults on the Gaza Strip for the reason that Palestinian resistance group Hamas initiated a cross-border assault on Oct. 7.
At least 10,569 Palestinians, together with 4,324 kids and a pair of,823 girls, have been killed.
The Israeli loss of life toll, in the meantime, is almost 1,600, based on official figures.
