Accidently saying what they really mean: A press release just arrived from the Council on American-Islamic Relations, condemning Israel's policy-in-the-making (which I discussed a couple of items ago): exile for terrorists' family members.

In the process of villifying Israel, CAIR made a Freudian slip and accidently spoke honestly:
"Israeli leaders seem to believe that if they can just kill a few more Palestinians, destroy a few more homes, build a few more settlements, imprison a few more fathers and sons, humiliate a few more women and children, and uproot a few more orchards, all will be well. This attitude is the root cause of the current conflict," said Awad.

Awad called on President Bush to issue a strong condemnation of the Israeli plan and to end one-sided American support for any policy that Israel cares to implement, regardless of its legality or its negative impact on American interests.


Note that last sentence. According to CAIR, the U.S. must never support Israel, whether or not anything Israel does or does not do is legal or has a negative impact on the U.S. But CAIR isn't anti-Israeli, are they? They're just against the "occupation," right?
