Strategic Insights -

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has condemned Israeli General Aharon Haliva's call for the mass killing of Palestinians, which was made in an interview with Israel's Channel 12 TV station. Haliva stated that 50 Palestinians must die for every Israeli who died on October 7, 2023, and that it "does not matter now if they are children."
