After October 7 and the Anti-Jewish Violence and Harassment That Followed It, Biden's DOJ Rushed Into Action... to Defend Muslims Against "Backlash"

Of course.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) moved to address anti-Muslim and anti-Arab biases in tandem with activist groups shortly after Hamas's Oct. 7, 2023, massacre in Israel ignited a wave of antisemitism, newly released documents show.

The Biden-Harris administration's top law enforcement engaged with "Muslim, Arab, Sikh, and South Asian communities," dubbed "MASSA" groups, in the weeks following the Islamic terrorist attack, according to internal communications obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The DOJ's Civil Rights Division (CRD) under former Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke consulted MASSA groups to help counter "backlash" against their communities, comparing it to the aftermath of 9/11.

Former President Joe Biden's CRD "essentially functioned as an arm of leftist groups," American First Legal (AFL) President Gene Hamilton, whose organization acquired the documents through public records requests, told the DCNF.

"The Biden Department of Justice was singularly focused on advancing a radical, weaponized agenda instead of protecting the American people," Hamilton said.

The CRD planned a meeting in November 2023 with groups that included Muslim groups Emgage and Muslim Advocates, as well as the Sikh Coalition and United Sikhs, the records show. The meeting was slated to address problems plaguing "MASSA" communities such as "Hate Crimes Against Arabs And Others In the U.S. in Connection with" the Israel-Hamas war, "Asylum and Visa Delays" and "Profiling and Bias in Policing." Other listed topics pertained to alleged "doxxing" and "hate" directed at those advocating for Palestinians, especially on college campuses.

Another scheduled November 2023 meeting between DOJ officials was dubbed "Post-9/11 Backlash Huddle," an email shows.

Reports of antisemitic hate crimes reached an all-time high in 2023, according to the FBI. Anti-Jewish incidents accounted for a majority of hate crimes based on religion in 2023, while anti-Muslim and anti-Sikh cases comprised about 14% of them combined. Anti-Arab hate crimes made up less than half of racially-motivated incidents.

After an Islamic terrorist attack in the UK, the UK press went right into worrying about "the far right" using the attack as a justification for anti-Muslim backlash. They brought the Norm MacDonald joke to life, skipping right past mourning the victims of the Muslim attack to worry about hypothetical future Muslim victims.

And meanwhile: In the UK, it's now a hate crime to walk your dog in the presence of the Muslim Occupiers.
