(December 7, 2023 / JNS)
When the White House announced its new national strategy to counter antisemitism on May 25, it stated that 24 organizations were supporting “the whole-of-society call to action.”
The Council on American-Islamic Relations was among the two dozen, per an archived version of the page.
As of 1:51 p.m. on Dec. 7, the archived page continued to reference CAIR, but at some time thereafter, the White House removed that reference.
