“Although the Biden administration should have allowed the UN Security Council to pass a permanent ceasefire resolution many months and many slaughtered Palestinians ago, we welcome today’s development as a positive and long overdue step toward ending the genocide." @NihadAwad

Students and young people are at the forefront of civil and human rights struggles, today and throughout our history. We support the rights of student protestors at ASU and across the country to express their viewpoints including those that challenge our government.

Days before @RepRashida Tlaib's visit to Arizona for the @CAIRAZ banquet, a Twitter user who was monitoring a pro-Israel group’s Twitter Space about the congresswoman shared the audio recording with us. During a discussion about ways to visit Arizona and disrupt Rep. Tlaib’s appearances, pro-Israel users went from debating whether it would be legal to scream a sexually explicit insult at Tlaib during the CAIR banquet to discussing Arizona’s gun laws. One speaker discusses the possibility of shooting Rep. Tlaib at the event, before another speaker objected and the space ended. This bone-chilling discussion among pro-Israel activists on Twitter about ways to harass, disrupt and even shoot Rep. Rashida Tlaib is just the latest proof that Islamophobia & anti-Palestinian racism have gotten absolutely out of control in our country. Read more: cair.com/press_releases/if-y…

.@CAIRAZ's banquet was set for Saturday, Nov. 18, at a Sheraton hotel. CAIR-AZ previously hosted their 2017 banquet there, even in the face of armed protestors outside, without incident. @sheratonhotels unfortunately decided to treat this event differently. 1/6

Thank you to our Jewish neighbors for standing up for the human rights of all people outside the @WhiteHouse today. @POTUS should pursue a ceasefire and then a just and lasting peace for the benefit of all.

BREAKING: American Jews and allies have now blocked 4+ doors to the White House. We’re prepared to put our bodies in the way of more slaughter — we’re ready to stay here until Biden forces a ceasefire.

We are shocked and disturbed to learn that a landlord in Chicago expressing anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian views broke into a Muslim family's apartment and attacked them with a knife, injuring the mother and killing her 6-year-old son, Wadea Al-Fayoume. @cairchicago will hold a press conference this afternoon to share more details, God willing. The Islamophobic rhetoric and anti-Palestinian racism being spread by politicians, media outlets, and social media platforms must stop. Now. #Palestine #Israel #Islamophobia #Wadea

The ED for @CAIRAZ, @azza346, responded to the court ruling, saying that the Facebook content the officer shared "draws into question his ability to treat members of the Muslim community fairly in accordance with the law.” @SuperSafetySam @azcentral azcentral.com/story/news/loc…

WATCH OUT, ARIZONA: There’s a sneak attack included in today’s budget negotiations that would block basically all ballot initiatives, forever. HCR2015 (being heard in Senate appropriations) would require ballot initiatives to pass with *60%* of the vote. azleg.gov/legtext/55leg/2R/s…

On Dec. 25, 2 men were assaulted as they were walking into the Islamic Center of Tucson, AZ. The attackers then vandalized the mosque. We call on police to launch a #hatecrime probe into this attack, & we urge mosques statewide to step up their security. cair.com/press_releases/cair…

Bismillah. Important news: we have disrupted an anti-Muslim hate group's effort to spy on Muslim American organizations, including our Ohio chapter. We thank God for exposing this plot to us and we thank God for protecting the community from harm. Details in this thread.... 1/13
