(Algemeiner) The head of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) issued a strong condemnation of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) on Sunday after the Muslim advocacy group backed racist and antisemitic statements made by one of its executive directors, accusing both of “blatant antisemitism.”
At a Nov. 27 American Muslims for Palestine convention, CAIR-San Francisco Bay Area Executive Director Zahra Billoo said that Islamophobia is promoted by “polite Zionists, the ones that say ‘let’s just break bread together.’”
“We need to pay attention to the Anti-Defamation League, we need to pay attention to the Jewish Federation, we need to pay attention to the Zionist synagogues, we need to pay attention to the Hillel chapters on our campuses,” she said.
She presented no evidence that these groups were Islamophobic.
