CAIR says pro-Israel congressman are "pledging allegiance to a foreign government": "The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today condemned planned congressional resolutions in support of Israel's brutal invasion of Palestinian territory that the Islamic advocacy group said amounted to American elected officials pledging allegiance to a foreign government."

CAIR's executive director Nihad Awad led the charge: "It is truly disturbing to see American elected officials falling over themselves in an unseemly attempt to 'pledge allegiance' to a foreign government and its domestic lobby. Perhaps these same politicians should be reminded that they were elected by American, not Israeli voters."
