Ohio library cancels CAIR "co-facilitated" event

CAIR and its lefty handmaiden, Cleveland Peace Action get shut down.

"The library’s board postponed the program after recognizing the paucity of pro-Israel representatives among the facilitators..."

The Cleveland Heights-University Heights Public Library has postponed a three-part series on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict amid concerns from Jewish residents that the program would be biased against Israel. The program was to open March 12 with the showing of “Searching for Peace in the Middle East,” a 30-minute documentary sponsored by the Washington, D.C.-based Foundation for Middle East Peace. The organization’s website describes the film as a “vivid, compassionate portrayal” of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The event was to be presented locally by Cleveland Peace Action and co-facilitated by CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

According to the library bulletin, the film was to be followed by a “structured pubic discussion” facilitated by representatives of the Jewish, Christian, Muslim and Arab communities. The library’s board postponed the program after recognizing the paucity of pro-Israel representatives among the facilitators, says library director Steve Wood.

Unfortunately, it looks like the presentation has been rescheduled for tomorrow night at the Euclid Avenue Christian Church (!). What do you want to bet that the panel STILL does not include any pro-Israel participants?

Cleveland Peace Action presents the film "Searching for Peace in the Middle East" on Wednesday, March 12th, 7:15 PM, at the Euclid Avenue Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). The church is located on Mayfield Rd, at Yellowstone, across from Severance Town Center, in Cleveland Heights.
