'''CAIR’s ‘pay-for-Jew-hatred’'''
Author <ref>Campus Antisemitism. [https://www.jns.org/cairs-pay-for-jew-hatred-policy/ CAIR’s ‘pay-for-Jew-hatred’ policy]. ''The California chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations launched a “Champions of Justice Fund” that pays $1,000 “educational grants” to students disciplined for anti-Israel actions.'' Mitchell Bard, ''JNS'', Dec. 3, 2025.</ref> trongly condemns the California chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-CA) for launching a “Champions of Justice Fund” that offers $1,000 “educational grants” to university students who face disciplinary action for anti-Israel protests and encampments. The author calls this a domestic version of the Palestinian Authority’s “pay-to-slay” policy that financially rewards terrorism.
Key points raised:
- In October 2024 alone, CAIR-CA paid out $20,000 to students from top universities (Harvard, Columbia, Penn, etc.).
- The fund has raised over $64,000 and portrays illegal encampments as legitimate “solidarity” actions while condemning police response as violence.
- The Network Contagion Research Institute warns that such financial incentives reward militancy and help extremist ideologies spread on campuses.
The article then reviews CAIR’s long history of alleged extremism:
- Founded by figures tied to Hamas’s propaganda network.
- Executive Director Nihad Awad openly supported Hamas in 1994, celebrated the Oct. 7 massacre, and has made numerous antisemitic and anti-Zionist statements.
- CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas-funding trial; the FBI cut ties in 2008.
- After Oct. 7, the Biden White House removed CAIR from its national antisemitism strategy following Awad’s celebratory remarks.
Recent political actions cited:
- Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) introduced legislation to designate CAIR a Foreign Terrorist Organization.
- Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) asked the IRS to investigate CAIR’s tax-exempt status.
- Texas Gov. Greg Abbott already designated CAIR a terrorist organization under state law and banned it from buying land in Texas.
The author concludes that CAIR’s new student fund is effectively a “pay-for-Jew-hatred” policy, and urges the federal government to strip CAIR of its nonprofit status and officially recognize it as a terrorist-supporting entity.
