Is such a headline possible? Today it is.

No surprise then that CAIR is not listed anymore in the strategy against antisemitism.

When the White House announced its new national strategy to counter antisemitism on May 25, it stated that 24 organizations were supporting “the whole-of-society call to action.”

The Council on American-Islamic Relations was among the two dozen, per an archived version of the page.

As of 1:51 p.m. on Dec. 7, the archived page continued to reference CAIR, but at some time thereafter, the White House removed that reference.

In response to a question from JNS about whether CAIR still deserved that second chance after its comments on Oct. 7, Lipstadt said, “it is irresponsible and abhorrent to try in any way to justify Hamas’s murder of more than 1,000 Israeli civilians including through indiscriminate attacks.”
