Instagram❤️💚 A special message from our Executive Director, Dr. Osama Abu Irshaid. #EidWithPalestine
InstagramAmerica is now spending $2 billion a day in this unnecessary and illegal war with Iran. Instead of investing this money on the American people here at home, we are again wasting taxayer dollars on a war for the benefit of the Israeli government. Palestinian-American leaders have spent years working to end this pattern. Hear from one of them in today’s CAIR on AIR. This is a must watch episode! https://youtu.be/7jrqZx9adaY
InstagramHow did American support for Israel’s crimes against the Palestinian people erode so quickly? Did the Palestinian-Americans who spent decades working for this moment ever expect to see it in their lifetime? How do Israel First politicians hope to reverse this trend? In the latest episode of CAIR on Air (dropping tomorrow iA), we pose these questions to Dr. Oussama Abu Irshaid, a Palestinian American leader who serves as Executive Director of American Muslims for Palestine. Tune in this Wednesday on all major streaming platforms for an inside look at the struggle to point American foreign policy in a just direction.

Instagram📝 Israel continues to use the bodies of its prisoners in Gaza as a pretext to justify its ongoing assault, siege, and starvation of over two million people. This is a classic colonial tactic—racist, cruel, and deeply rooted in the Zionist movement’s myth of Jewish racial superiority. The tragedy is compounded when victims of such supremacist ideologies begin to internalize and repeat them. This dynamic reflects four dangerous patterns: - Selective humanity: valuing some lives over others - Selective morality: applying ethical standards unevenly - Social Darwinism: justifying domination through “survival of the fittest” - Internalized inferiority: when oppressed communities adopt the logic of their oppressors ➡️ Read the full article by Dr. Osama Abu Irshaid @ AMPalestine.org

Instagram🗣️ Dr. Osama Abu Irshaid @ Press Conference Condemning Netanyahu's visit to the White House 🇵🇸 American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), in collaboration with CODEPINK, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations (USCMO), and other solidarity organizations and activists, led a press conference condemning Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the White House on Monday, July 7th, 2025 in front of the White House in Washington, DC. We demand the following: 1. That Israel immediately implement an immediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire. 2. That the United Nations and credible humanitarian agencies be given unrestricted access to all of Gaza through all crossings, and construction material to be allowed into Gaza. 3. That the U.S. terminate all funding to the GHF and open investigations into its role in the massacre of aid-seeking civilians. 4. That any postwar arrangement in Gaza be defined by Palestinians, not imposed by any foreign power. 🎥 Video Credit: @cair_national
