State Rep. Randy Fine files Resolution Ending Government Relationship with CAIR

Published

on

Palm Bay, FL. – (January 4, 2024) – Today, State Representative Randy Fine filed HR 1209, calling on all state and local government agencies, including state universities, school districts, and law enforcement, to end any and all contact with the “Council on American-Islamic Relations,” a terrorism advocacy organization operating in Florida.

“As my resolution clearly documents, from its inception, CAIR has been dedicated to hiring, defending, and justifying terrorism,” said State Representative Randy Fine. “Despite more than a dozen examples of its involvement with terrorism and terrorists, CAIR gaslights as a civil rights organization, and since the October 7th rape, torture, and mutilation of 1,200 Jews by its friends at Hamas, has attempted to justify Islamic terror in the Middle East and across Florida.

“CAIR is effectively an American affiliate of Hamas, and burgeoned by their fake pseudo-intellectualism, their followers have engaged in 94 acts of harassment and vandalism in Florida since October 7th, according to the Anti-Defamation League. More than once a day, for the past three months, Jews in Florida, and all good Floridians who stand against barbarity, have been terrorized by these monsters.

“That must end. Just as the Legislature banned the antisemitic activities of Students for Justice in Palestine on our State University campuses in 2019 by passing HB 741, today I take the next step to target another organization fomenting terror and hate across our state – CAIR. In Florida, we will give those that support Jew hatred and genocide no tolerance, no quarter, and no sanctuary.”

Randy Fine, the only Jewish Republican legislator in the State of Florida, is the primary architect of the most aggressive antisemitism legislative agenda in the United States. Over seven years, he has sponsored legislation creating the first-ever program to provide security funding for Jewish Day Schools, passed a zero-tolerance policy for antisemitic BDS programs by state and local governments, redesigned mandatory Holocaust education for all Florida Students, required antisemitism to be treated as racism on in all Florida public schools and universities, and criminalized the harassment and targeting of Jews via littering and graffiti. In his final term in the Florida House, he serves as the Chairman of the House Health and Human Services Committee, and has passed more than two-dozen bills on a variety of other issues in education, environmental protection, and economic development.
