Why do media outlets uncritically cite the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)? In 2021, publications like CNN, The Washington Post and The Guardian mentioned CAIR over 250 times.

At the recent American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) conference, CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad called the city of Tel Aviv “occupied” by Israel, and said that “Allah willing” it will be “free[d] later.”

He also vowed to fight the Biden Administration’s plan to replenish Israel’s Iron Dome anti-missile defense system. Iron Dome saves both Israeli and Palestinian lives by countering Hamas’ terrorism.
