CAIR-Affiliated Protest: “We Are Hamas!” By
Danielle Avel, July 23, 2014
Decked out in keffiyahs and stocked with vulgar posters, anti-Israel
demonstrators have been descending upon cities across the United States
rallying for what they call peace. One such group gathered on Sunday,
July 20, 2014, just blocks from the Israeli consulate in Miami.

The flier for this protest declares, “Stop the bombing – Stop the
Killing – Free Palestine” and includes logos from: the Council on
American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) Florida, the Islamic Circle of North
America (ICNA), Students for Justice in Palestine, the American Muslim
Association of North America, American Muslims for Emergency &
Relief, Syrian American Council of South Florida, and the American
Muslims Foundation. Some of these groups have thousands of members
across the country and their leaders are often featured prominently in
the news as being representative of the Muslim-American community.
The event’s Facebook page indicates additional coalition sponsors
including: Al-Awda Coalition, National Lawyers Guild (South Florida),
CAIR among others. The same page declares the purpose of the event was
“to support peace, liberation, and human rights.”
And initially, one mostly heard peaceful-sounding slogans like “Viva,
Viva Palestina” and “No more killing, no more war.” These were
interspersed with others like “From the river to the sea, Palestine will
be free” which means eliminating the Jewish State.
The “peace” aspect, however, was completely forgotten whenever a
suspected Zionist appeared. One such man filming the event was accosted
in a threatening manner by about six protestors, with one grabbing his
arms from behind. The police had to calm the crowd as some rushed
towards a passing vehicle carrying an Israeli flag. Later in the day, a
small group of about eight Israel supporters arrived. At that point, the
anti-Israel demonstrators shifted their focus to the pro-Israel group
(watch video):
The anti-Israel protestors became increasingly hostile, to the point of invoking outrageous Islamist slogans.
In Arabic, they screamed:
“The martyr is God’s love.” This encourages one to die while
committing Jihad — it is a celebration of terror attacks including
suicide bombings.
“Khaybar, Khaybar Oh, Jew. Muhammad’s army will return.” This refers to a
seventh-century massacre in which Muhammad’s army attacked the Jewish
community of Khaybar in the Arabian Peninsula. The Jewish males who
surrendered were beheaded; Muhammad and his soldiers then divided the
women, children, and property. Islamists today routinely invoke this
battle as a rallying cry to attack Jews.
In English, they yelled:
“We are Hamas!” openly confirming support for a group officially
designated a terrorist organization by the United States, the European
Union, Japan, Jordan, and Egypt.
“We are Jihad!” thereby calling for holy war.
“Hamas kicked your ass.” That makes for an interesting contradiction:
While claiming Gazans are being massacred, the group also claims to have
defeated the Israel Defense Forces. Which is it?
Eventually, an Israel supporter calls out, “We’re in America, that’s
where we are… we’re not Gaza over here,” a self-proclaimed Hamas fan
screams back in Hebrew with an Arabic accent, “Son of a bitch” and “Go
to Hell!” along with an obscene arm gesture.
These outrageous, vulgar, and violent sentiments provide insight into
the real views of groups like CAIR, ICNA, and the others listed on the
event flier. “Peace” protestors sponsored by these groups are normally
able to stay relatively polite and on message, however, the appearance
of Israel supporters sent them into a revelatory frenzy of great
importance. Not all of the demonstrations these groups promote will
contain such overtly hostile messaging, but as the video proves,
peaceful-sounding chants are synonymous with calls to war.
Anti-Israel fanatics are predictable in that they utilize a constant
theme of claiming to be victims while simultaneously inciting hatred and
violence. What isn’t predictable is what they will chant in public.
When similar protests take place, one should keep in mind the true
motivation behind these “peace” mobs.
