“You will find the Jews and the idolaters the most vehement of mankind in hostility to those who believe.” (Qur’an 5:82)
And so in light of that passage, the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) can’t see anything it regards as negative as other than a Jewish plot against them.

Revoking deportation protections for Somali fraudsters who siphon U.S. taxpayer funds, some of which land in the hands of foreign terrorists? That’s an “Israel first” policy, according to the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

“CAIR: Trump’s Revocation of Somali Deportation Protections Is Part of ‘Israel First’ Campaign,” by Jon Levine, Washington Free Beacon, November 24, 2025:
The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) lashed out against President Donald Trump’s decision to eliminate deportation protections for Somali immigrants in Minnesota, blaming the move on an “Israel first” campaign that it says is also targeting podcasters Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson.
“We believe this is an Israeli-first public campaign targeting a very vulnerable community—the Somali-American community—and a very vulnerable congresswoman—Ilhan Omar—as an effort to try to win back the many young Americans who believe that America should not be getting into wars for other countries,” CAIR-Minnesota executive director Jaylani Hussein said during a Monday afternoon press conference. He went on to praise Owens and Carlson, warning that “Israel first” Americans have also come after them.
“I know for sure that this campaign mirrors the same campaign targeting Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson, major influencers on the conservative side, who have gained tremendous support in the younger generation of Republicans who are refusing to accept—refusing to accept—that America will continue to take the wars of Israel, destabilize the Middle East, lose their own tax dollars while committing carnage and lossage in the lives of Muslims, and many of these young generation today have woken up,” Hussain continued.
CAIR’s press conference came in response to Trump’s announcement that he would rescind Temporary Protected Status for Somalis in Minnesota. “Somali gangs are terrorizing the people of that great State,” the president said, turning it into a “hub of fraudulent money laundering activity.” Trump’s decision came on the heels of a City Journal report from Ryan Thorpe and Christopher Rufo detailing how Somali-American criminal networks help redirect welfare money out of the country and back to Somalia. Millions of taxpayer dollars, the report states, have ended up in the hands of the Al-Shabaab terrorist network.
Hussein condemned an “article” during the press conference, saying CAIR believes it is “based on false information that is being wrongfully connected,” without naming the specific story. He told the Washington Free Beacon he was referring to the City Journal piece.
The CAIR-Minnesota executive director also said his organization would like “the federal government to monitor funding that is coming directly from Israel into the pockets of social media influencers to do their foreign bidding.”…

I posted some stuff about this from The Western Journal, which includes some things about praise for terrorists…black panthers, etc…..by cair members. Also included are remarks from the government about where much of the funds taken by somalis have gone…not just to somalia and al shabab; but to turkey and kenya.
This revoking of protections (which they don’t need) has nothing to do with Israel. It has to do with dealing with unappreciative lawbreakers and those who threaten the **fabric** of society. ilhan elmi included.
Governor Abbott has cair in the crosshairs; so should Pres. Trump and the DOJ. Investigate, arrest, charge, try and convict….for supporting terror, for money-laundering, for fraud, for lying to LE….it’s way past time.

“Trump Declares ‘I Don’t Want’ Somalis in the US: ‘That is Not Politically Correct — I Don’t Care’”
“resident Donald Trump said he does not want more Somalis moving to the U.S. from the “hell” they escaped, saying they are “ripping off” the American taxpayer and “do nothing but b*tch” in return. He also said he would be happy to see Somalis currently living in the States leave the country.’
““For years I’ve watched her complain about our Constitution… how she is treated badly, the United States is a bad place and hates everybody, hates Jewish people, hates everybody,” Trump said. “She’s a terrible person.”
Trump said the U.S. cannot continue to take “garbage into our country” like Omar and Somalis like her. He raged:……”

Thanks for the clip Somehistory. Trump gave a very accurate description of Illhan Omar,”garbage.”

This “Israel First” routine is something CAIR has planned and discussed at length here –

Dear geniuses-at-CAIR
If the administration had an “Israel-first” agenda, wouldn’t its first targets be the local Palestinians, for whom that issue is #1? The Somalians here are being targeted for fraud benefiting themselves. Their behavior hurts Americans, but in no way directly affects Israelis
At any rate, you are one to speak, being as you are, an affiliate of the muslim brotherhood
Wellington says
You can always count on CAIR to get things absolutely ass-backwards where the interests of America are concerned. In fact, has there ever been a position taken by CAIR which is in the best interests of America, of freedom of speech, of true freedom of religion, of women’s rights, of equality under the law, et al.?
I know of none. Does anyone?
For my money CAIR is an inveterate enemy of America but parasitically will use American freedoms to destroy American freedoms. Essentially, it’s a spiritual Nazi-type organization, just as all of Islam is.

For every five words that you listen to that comes out of this guys mouth you will lose one IQ point.
Larry Estavan says
“CAIR is an inveterate enemy of America ”
There is just no denying this any longer. Because CAIR is now negatively effecting elections in NYC after CAIR donated $100,000 to Mamdani’s campaign. Please remember the “Abandon Biden” campaign was started by Basim Elkrara, the former CAIR SAC Executive Director, and CAIR-MN Director Jaylani Hussein.
CAIR did this to help Gaza, and Jaylani said as much when asked if he had regrets about helping Trump win the election, and he said he did it for Gaza, for Hamas. – https://youtu.be/QUB3ypJ8vUo?si=SrCDGaEsIl6eJUIp
We need to talk about this and demand more from CAIR than just dismissing it all with a wave of their hand. We need to discuss on TV CAIR’s Hamas connections, and their policy of attacking people on TV for the past 7 years.

Is there anything the Israelis/Jews are not accused of?
If it were not so persistent and scary, it would be hilarious.

This is Islam.
It offers us in the West, nothing but rape and murder.
Ban It.
Maemae77 says
Blaming Israel is a distraction tactic Muslims use to redirect our minds away from the massive scheming and infiltrating Muslims are doing all across America.
Might want to check Sioux City, IA, South Sioux City NE, Omaha and Papillon Ne. High density of Somalians there. I know they steal from the Walmarts in the areas. They drive nice vehicles for living off welfare.
Troybeam says
Taking out the refugees that have overstayed their welcome, did not assimilate and stolen from America’s generosity is the right thing to do.
They hate America, they are part of the plan to destroy America along with all Muslims from other countries.
Gather them up, put them on a ship and send them back to home country. have them fix their own nation instead of destroying ours.

It is about America first and long over due
Winston 101 says
U S Government: Ban the Muslim Brotherhood and ban CAIR.
Acknowledge them to be the Terror fronts
they are.
End all Somali TPS/welfare/entitlements.
Send Somalians back to Somalia. All of them.
They are all Fraud Jihadists.
Acknowledge the U S is in a War being waged by Jihadis using
various weapons. Propaganda Jihad, Legalese Jihad, Cultural Jihad,
Fraud Jihad – a War Islam declared 1400 year ago.
A war to be fought by any means available/necessary.
Think of taking these actions as the Administrative War version
of sinking the drug boats.
All of these Jihadis are physically and fiscally killing Americans.
It’s ALL various forms of Islamic Jihad.
Cynthia says
Exactly Winston! Did you know Israel has shark spies in the Mediterranean and pigeon spies all over the Middle East. You are dealing with more great minds at work when it comes to CAIR.
The fact that third world Somalis could commit such massive fraud says a lot about our country now too.Politicians cover up and get kickbacks while the populace is redirected towards partisan hatreds.
Alkflaeda says
CAIR is trying to create the impression that the Somalis are victims “just like the Palestinians”, so that college students will riot on their behalf. The irony is that it is true – the Somalis ARE equally as much victims as the Palestinians – i.e., they are NOT victims, because the Palestinians are not either.
Noah Andeark says
Biggest difference is that Somalians exist as there is no such thing as a palestinian.
Noah Andeark says
CAIR is an islamist terror organization. Its officers, members, and supporters are terrorists.

“Members of the inner circle of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., personally profited from the $1 billion welfare-fraud scandal in her district that has placed her Somali constituency under the White House microscope.
Omar held events at one of the restaurants named in the fraud, knew one of its now-convicted owners, and had a staffer who was also convicted, the New York Post reported.
In addition, Omar introduced the legislation that led to $250 million being defrauded from federal child-nutrition programs in COVID-19 aid, according to the newspaper.””The free meals were made possible by the 2020 MEALS Act, introduced by Omar and passed with bipartisan support, the Post said.
Much of the funding was funneled through the now-defunct nonprofit Feeding Our Future, according to the DOJ. Omar appeared in a video promoting the program.”
A whole boatload of her allies, have been convicted in the fraud; they worked on her campaign and she helped to get the funding sent to them….but she claims the programs were not done right, claiming “third parties” t and no “guardrails” as the reasons.
