In a statement, CAIR Deputy Executive Director Edward Ahmed Mitchell said:

“By levelling an entire city block without any regard for civilian life, the genocidal Israeli government is screaming to anyone who will listen that it wants to carry on the genocide in Gaza, use Lebanon to spark an all-out war in the Middle East, and drag the United States into that war. President Biden must stop enabling Netanyahu’s madness. President Biden must leverage U.S. financial, diplomatic and military support to force a ceasefire on Netanyahu immediately.”

He noted that yesterday, called on President Biden to “stop acting like a bystander” and force a ceasefire on Israel’s Netanyahu government after Israeli forces slaughtered civilians in Gaza and Lebanon.
