All:
The question mark ?? is introduced by me.. while the statement is that of
one-eyed CAIR.
One eyed because it can see the 900+ Palestinian deaths because they were
brotherhood people of their global caliphate;it can't see the big holes in
Israel, courtesy shithead HAMAs.
What to do with such people, who migrates to a country & offered
citizenship. But, America's friends are not their friends. America's enemy
are not their enemies.
*FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE*
*CAIR Says Bush 'Indifferent' to Lives of Americans, Others in Gaza *
(WASHINGTON, D.C., 1/13/2009) A prominent national Islamic civil rights and
advocacy group today decried the Bush administration's "apparent
indifference" to the dangers faced by the more than 150 American citizens
and their family members trapped under Israeli fire in the Gaza Strip.
The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) questioned
why the U.S. government has not demanded that Israel halt its attacks to
allow an evacuation of American citizens.
*"It is shocking that our own government refuses to ask a nation that
receives billions of American tax dollars each year to pause its killing
machine long enough to bring U.S. citizens to safety,*" said CAIR National
Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper. "It is imperative that a long-term
cease-fire be established to protect all of Gaza's civilian population."
He said citizens of many other nations, including Canada, Russia, the
Philippines, Ukraine, Denmark, Austria, Norway, Romania, and Sweden have
already been evacuated from Gaza. "Our nation's apparent indifference to the
lives of its citizens is a matter of great concern," said Hooper.
CAIR has been seeking State Department assistance in evacuating two American
children, ages six and three, along with all the other Americans in Gaza.
The father of the two children said bullets fired from an Israeli tank hit
the family home in Beit Hanoun on Saturday. He said his brother's nearby
two-story home was destroyed yesterday by the Israelis.
*The State Department tells CAIR that an evacuation is being planned but
that no date has been set.*

CAIR is also seeking American sponsors for those evacuees who may be brought
to the United States. A number of potential evacuees are non-citizen parents
of young American-born children.

The death toll from Israeli attacks on Gaza, which includes many women and
children, is approaching 1000. Thousands of civilians have been injured.

In its attacks, Israel has denied access to wounded civilians and has
targeted homes, schools, mosques, universities, medical and United Nations
personnel, a hospital, and a church. A leading human rights group has
accused Israel of using white-phosphorus munitions in its attacks on
civilian areas.

CAIR, America's largest Islamic civil liberties group, has 35 offices and
chapters nationwide and in Canada. Its mission is to enhance the
understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower
American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual
understanding.
