The Muslim advocacy group Council on American-Islamic Relations on Tuesday led condemnation of Israeli airstrikes on the Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza that killed at least 14 Palestinians — including the mother of an American citizen who was a permanent U.S. resident — and demanded that the Biden administration stop supplying Israel with arms.

In a statement Tuesday, CAIR “called on the Biden administration, the U.S. State Department, and elected officials in Virginia to demand that the Israeli government cease its attacks on the Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza after the mother of an American citizen, a U.S. resident, and other family members were reportedly executed in a repeat Israeli attack on their family residence, despite the family’s pleas to Israeli authorities to stop the bombing and allow the evacuation of surviving family members.”

CAIR continued:

After the initial Israeli military strike on the family residence, the U.S. resident mother and an unknown number of relatives were reportedly injured but alive, trapped under the rubble. In an effort to rescue the survivors, the family contacted Israeli authorities, providing them with the residential address and GPS coordinates of their home to arrange for the safe passage of an ambulance. However, the Israeli military apparently used that information to bomb the house a second time and then targeted the ambulance as it attempted to rescue the survivors, killing the doctor and several children. Only a 7-year-old boy survived the incident.

Maybe this Hitler can be caught before commiting suicide after 5 years of warcrime campaign...

Hopefully, because I'm afraid at the rate they're going Gaza won't last five years.

However, the Israeli military apparently used that Hamas information to bomb the Hamas house a second time and then targeted the Hamas ambulance as it attempted to rescue the Hamas survivors, killing the Hamas doctor and several Hamas children.

Hope this is better now. -IDF

Disgusting that after decades of this shit, this transparent tactic still works so well.

This is called "double tap strike" and was a tactic used frequently during the American invasion of Iraq & Afghanistan. They learned from the best, unfortunately.

That's fine. I'm pretty sure Israel could openly and intentionally target U.S. citizens everywhere and we would still send more weapons.
