Never a dull moment: my employer has just canceled the valedictorian's commencement speech, seemingly because they are afraid she will say something about human rights in #Gaza
“The far-right Israeli government continues to ignore all international laws and orders by world bodies demanding that it end its genocidal campaign of slaughter, starvation and ethnic cleansing in Gaza.”
“It is able to ignore international demands because it has acted with impunity against the rights of the Palestinian people for decades (...)."
Nihad Awad
CAIR National Executive Director
(The Council on American-Islamic Relations)
“While the rest of the world is expressing horror at these daily war crimes by the far-right Israeli government, the Biden administration refuses to use our government’s immense political and financial influence over the Israeli government to stop this campaign of genocide and ethnic cleansing.”
“There must be a permanent ceasefire to stop the indiscriminate slaughter in Gaza and to allow the pursuit of a just, lasting peace.”
“Rushing deadly weapons to the far-right and openly genocidal Israeli government without congressional review robs American voters of their voice in Congress, emboldens Netanyahu to kill more Palestinian civilians, and furthers stains our nation’s standing in the world.”
CAIR’s National Deputy Director Edward Ahmed Mitchell.
“President Biden already has the power to demand an end to Netanyahu’s self-serving campaign of mass murder, secure the release of everyone wrongfully held in both Gaza and Israel and then pursue a just, lasting peace. He only needs the heart and courage to exercise that power.”

"The main goal of everyone right now is a cease-fire," Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, told USA TODAY. "You can't do anything without a cease-fire − you can't do humanitarian aid, you can't treat the wounded, you can't even remove bodies until there's a cease-fire."...
This story reminds me of the time back in 2008 I helped an ecumenical group of religious orgs contact his sponsors about his violent rhetoric toward #Muslims.

Careful, some humans lose brain cells every time they listen to him.
I'm proud of how I helped the group cost him at LEAST one MILLION dollars back in 2008. And that he couldn't be defended as a "free speech warrior".
He sued #CAIR for copyright infringement & lost, because I taught them the Spocko Method which I used against KSFO the year before. ABC/Disney tried to sue me for copyright infringement & lost too.
He also sued CAIR for RICO & it was thrown out. HA HA!
