(Jerusalem Post) An online petition started by the group Stop Antisemitism calls on the US attorney general William Barr and special antisemitism envoy Elan Carr to take a deep look at the Council on American-Islamic Relations, CAIR.
The petition, shared on change.org with more than 1,000 signatures so far, calls into question what lies behind CAIR. It claims that Congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib are “strong allies” of the organization and that the organization helped get these Muslim women into office.
On the petition web page, it explains that CAIR was founded following a 1993 meeting in Philadelphia of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestine Committee, which the Department of Justice has described as a covert organization established to support Hamas.
