An article in the Jerusalem Post provides numerous reasons why the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) isn’t credible.

US Demands ‘Accountability’ By Israel for the Killing of 16-Year-Old
After a lengthy investigation by the IDF, Israel concluded that the killing of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was “most likely” caused by an Israeli soldier, but that there had been no “intent” to kill her.

Hamas Counts Its Gains After Operation Breaking Dawn
