🧵Joe Biden's "National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism" has The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as a partner, an organization that according to the ADL had "connections with organizations that are or were affiliated with Hamas"
According to the ADL: "Hamas is designated as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO) by the United States and is also viewed by the EU as a global terrorist organization."
CAIR’s leadership have used inflammatory anti-Zionist rhetoric that has veered into antisemitic tropes related to Jewish influence over the media or political affairs, or has descended into the vilification of Zionists, which includes the majority of American Jews.
CAIR partners with vehemently anti-Zionist and anti-Israel groups like Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) and American Muslims for Palestine, many of whose members employ extreme rhetoric and questionable tactics to demonize Zionism and Zionists and disrupt pro-Israel activity.
CAIR leaders have frequently expressed vociferous opposition to Israel and Zionism, claiming at times that Zionism and Zionists are fundamentally racist.
CAIR has supported and advocated for Rasmea Odeh, who was convicted by an Israeli court in 1970 for her role in a 1969 bombing of a supermarket that killed two Israeli students, and who was later released as part of a prisoner exchange.
CAIR frequently tweets in support of BDS campaigns including academic and cultural boycotts of Israel. CAIR has a close relationship with other pro-BDS, anti-Zionist and anti-Israel groups like JVP and Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP).
CAIR is connected to American Muslims for Palestine the leading organization providing anti-Zionist training & education to students & Muslim organizations. AMP promotes extreme anti-Israel views and has provided a platform for antisemitism under the guise of educating Americans

She had antisemitic slurs yelled at her including “Hitler’s plan should have worked." One student yelled at her with such force that spit landed on her face & told her she “deserved it” for being Jewish & threatened to assault her if she wore Hanukkah-themed cloths to school.
