I had to see this thread by myself to believe it’s real. It is.
There are several important legal matters this thread raises:
1. Does CAIR has an authority to decide if embassy moving is legal or not per American law? If so, from which legal document this authority stems? 1/
2. According to your thread you believe mentioning “Islamism” aka “Islamic fundamentalism” - a political ideology that in some branched like Wahhabism or Qutbism calls for violence - is islamophobia. Is it your official position? Do you support Islamism officially? 2/
3. Smearing implies making up false claims. There is a video of @ZahraBilloo full speech. Does her video have anything to do with selfie of @JGreenblattADL? Do you think video proof is not sufficient?
4. “Israeli snipers were killing protesters & medics” - is a verifiable lie. 3/
On that day when embassy was opened, Hamas militants tried to storm the border. Out of 62 killed at least 50 were confirmed by Hamas as its members and 3 were confirmed by Islamic Jihad. Affiliation of others was not confirmed. Does it mean CAIR officially supports Hamas? 4/
5. What makes CAIR an authority to define where any law is unconstitutional? Do you know that Ben and Jerry eventually pulled out of Israel in its entirety and not just WB? Shall @ADL from now on get prior CAIR approval for whom to criticize? 5/
6. Do you always add disclaimers to any message of that kind when you “stand against smth”? Like:
“We support and stand against misogyny, but we also condemn those women who cynically use false claims of misogyny”?
How your “stand against antisemitism” is manifested then?6/
7. Last. Does speaking of “zionist sinagogues”, Jewish American orgs like Jewish Congress or Hillel orgs and identifying them as enemies one needs to fight, constitute “legitimate criticism of Israeli apartheid” and if so, can you explain how exactly it is related to Israel? 7/7
