(Free Beacon) The Biden administration tapped an anti-Israel advocacy group that accuses the Jewish state of genocide to participate in a forum on the surge in hate crimes following Hamas’s attacks.
The Arab American Institute joined the Justice Department’s “United Against Hate” forum Wednesday, the agency announced. Attorney General Merrick Garland and civil rights division chief Kristen Clarke led the event with leaders from several advocacy groups and five U.S. attorneys.
The Arab American Institute, which was represented at the forum by its executive director Maya Berry, supports economic boycotts of Israel and has accused the Israeli government of “genocide” and “apartheid” against Palestinians. The institute’s founder, James Zogby, has referred to Israel as “Nazis” and defended the term “Israel firster,” which white supremacists use to suggest American Jews are more loyal to Israel than the United States.
