Nancy Pelosi has faced criticism from CAIR for suggesting, without evidence, that protests for a Gaza ceasefire could be linked to Russia and Putin.

Pelosi called for an FBI investigation into the protests and expressed concern about Biden's electoral support among young voters due to his stance on Israel.

CAIR's president condemned Pelosi's comments as unfounded and likened the suppression of pro-Palestinian speech to McCarthyism.

Polls indicate a majority of Democratic voters support a ceasefire, contrary to the stance of many congressional representatives.

The conflict in Gaza has led to significant Palestinian casualties, homelessness, food shortages, and incapacitated hospitals.

The U.N. has called for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, but the U.S. vetoed such resolutions in the Security Council.

The Biden administration is considering leveraging arms sales to Israel to encourage a reduction in military actions in Gaza.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has publicly opposed the war in Gaza, citing the indiscriminate loss of life.
