(Anadolu) The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) on Tuesday urged US President Joe Biden to condemn Israel’s demolition of Palestinian homes and businesses in East Jerusalem.
The nation’s largest Muslim advocacy organization also urged Washington to pressure Israel to stop all appropriation of Palestinian property.
“Israel’s apartheid government is using American taxpayer dollars to engage in yet another campaign of ethnic cleansing against the Palestinians, this time in Silwan,” CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad said in a statement. “They are illegally seizing the land of Palestinians, forcing families to destroy their own homes or face fines if the Israeli government destroys them.”
