(Free Beacon) Dozens of Democratic members of Congress in 2019 privately issued letters of support to an anti-Israel advocacy group that is now blaming the Jewish state for the Hamas terror attacks that killed more than 1,000 Israelis.
After Hamas on Saturday began its terrorist assault on Israel — which included the execution of women and children — the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) blamed the barbaric attacks on the Jewish state, urging lawmakers in a Monday statement to address the “Israeli government’s apartheid policies” and other “root causes of Mideast violence.” The response comes roughly four years after prominent House and Senate Democrats wrote supportive letters to the anti-Israel group ahead of its 2019 gala in Washington, D.C. CAIR used the messages to tout its support among congressional leaders, the Washington Free Beacon reported at the time.
