Boston MAS Condemns Israel, Absolute Silence on Hamas Rocket Attacks

Once again, the Boston Muslim American Society (MAS) shows its true colors, sending out several e-mails today rallying the faithful, criticizing Israel for its "massacre" in Gaza and criticizing the United States for its support of Israel.  Here's their message:

"On 12/28/08 Israeli Air Force attacks in the Gaza Strip killed at least 225 and injured hundreds more. These attacks come on top of Israelʼs siege on the Gaza Strip, a siege that has created a humanitarian catastrophe in which the majority of Gaza's 1.5 million Palestinian residents have limited access to food, water, fuel, medicine, electricity, and other necessities of life. Israel carried out the attacks today with F16 fighter jets and missiles provided by U.S. taxpayers. From 2001-2006, the U.S. transferred to Israel more than $200 million of spare parts for its F16 fleet. In July 2008, the U.S. gave Israel 186 million gallons of aviation jet fuel. Last year, the United States signed a $1.3 billion contract with Raytheon to transfer to Israel thousands of TOW, Hellfire, and "bunker buster" missiles.  In short, Israel's attacks today on the Gaza Strip could not happen without the active military and political support of the United States, funded by our tax dollars.  We need to take action to protest this attack and demand an immediate cease-fire."

Why isn't MAS demanding an immediate stop of rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip into Israel? 

Why doesn't MAS director Bilal Kaleem plan some rallies criticizing Hamas for their attacks against Israel?  Even the Egyptian Foreign Minister is criticizing Hamas!  Most of the world gets it that Hamas has the murderous intent to wipe out Israel.  Why is MAS siding with Hamas?   

Why was the MAS "horrified at the Mumbai attacks" but had not one word to say about Hamas rocket attacks that have rained down on Israel for years? There have been 3,000 rockets fired into Israel from the Gaza Strip this year alone.  MAS has no comment on that.

Details on MAS's rally planned for tomorrow:

Tuesday, December 30th - 5:00 PM
Consulate General of Israel
20 Park Plaza, Boston
Green Line to Arlington

Please go and show your support for Israel tomorrow.  Don't let the Hamas-supporting, Muslim Brotherhood-backed Boston Muslim American Society get all the press coverage.
