Why was CAIR included in this enterprise? To support the intersectional coalition the Biden administration has attempted to build. The Jews don’t truly fit in that intersectional coalition, of course. They don’t fit comfortably in the oppressor-oppressed matrix that underscores the coalition because Jews are both highly targeted and also highly-successful. …
That’s the Biden administration’s program: Activate the coalition of the oppressed at all costs. That means covering up radical Muslim hatred for Jews — and that means including radical Muslims in the program to fight anti-Semitism.
At least, that was the plan. Biden Special Envoy for Monitoring and Combating Antisemitism Deborah Lipstadt admitted CAIR was problematic, but said they could be included in the White House working group on anti-Semitism because: “If they’re really willing to change, if they’re really willing to say, ‘Hey, we now see this is a serious problem,’ then they are welcome.”
But, of course, CAIR wasn’t willing to change.
