CAIR uses Boulder attack as an excuse to attack Israel and Jews

CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, issued a condemnation of the attack by a Muslim man on peaceful and elderly demonstrators in Boulder, CO on Sunday:

This attack on the Run for Our Lives march in Boulder was a heinous and unacceptable crime.

If that would have been all they said, it would be an impressive statement. But being CAIR, of course that wasn't the case. They added:

The person who perpetrated this violence in Boulder is a criminal whose unacceptable actions do not, in any way, represent the countless Americans of diverse backgrounds who are peacefully advocating for an end to the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

Suddenly, the attacker has transformed into a protester of "genocide" whose methods might be wrong but whose heart was in the right place: destroy Israel with lies.

CAIR goes on:

Peaceful protests, political engagement, and civil disobedience are the only ways to change policies in our nation.

As we speak out against this unacceptable crime in Boulder, we also reject the cynical attempts by anti-Palestinian racists and anti-Muslim extremists who seek to use this attack to justify their own bigotry and their war on free speech in America.

Unlike those politicians who have never once condemned any of the shootings, stabbings, car rammings, beatings, and other violence directed at pro-Palestine demonstrators, and who actively support genocidal violence against Palestinians in Gaza, people of conscience condemn all criminal violence against all people, here and abroad.

That’s called moral consistency.

So, we have one full sentence condemning the crime, two half sentences that condemn it while also saying that their political opponents are at least as bad as the terrorist, and two sentences that attack CAIR's critics while pretending to be moral. There is far more text of hurling hate and defending those who share the same politics as the terrorist than of condemning him.

This isn't moral consistency. It is using an attack on Jews as an opportunity to further attack Jews.

There is one other word that shows that CAIR is a disgusting organization. In the introduction to the statement, it says by way of background:

On Sunday afternoon, a man used what authorities describe as a “makeshift flamethrower” to attack a group of marchers selectively calling for the release of captives held in Gaza.

What does CAIR mean by using the term "selectively"? The only explanation I can think of is that CAIR is criticizing the protesters for not also calling for the release of Hamas terrorists in Israeli prisons.

It extols "peaceful protests" when done by people who hate Israel, but when it is done by Zionist Jews, CAIR implies, they are self-serving hypocrites for not also calling Israel to release more terrorists.

CAIR is beneath contempt. Its "condemnation" is nothing of the sort - just an excuse to publish more and more hate, which turns into incitement that leads to attacks like this one.
