FOX32: CAIR-Chicago responds to pro-Palestinian college protests

On Thursday morning, the Executive Director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Chicago spoke out about local encampments.

"This is a peaceful, non-violent protest that is not unlike the American pastime of similar protests that we saw against the apartheid situation in South Africa, that we saw against the Vietnam War in 1968. This is exactly the sphere in which this is happening," said Executive Director of CAIR-Chicago, Ahmed Rehab. "This is for peace, this not a nationalist movement. Jews who live in historical Palestine are not the problem. It is the systems of oppression that is the problem."

CAIR-Chicago is also condemning the anti-Semitism bill that passed the House with broad bipartisan support.

They are calling it, "unconstitutional."
