As US President Joe Biden hosted a virtual White House Eid celebration on Sunday, Muslim groups hosted a separate event where they called on Muslim Americans to put an end to working with Zionist and pro-Israel groups that attack campaigns for Palestinian rights.
"No more normalisation or any kind of relationship with Zionist organisations. Interfaith, local work, political engagement. Nothing justifies it, no excuses anymore," said Raja Abdulhaq, a leader at the Majlis Ash-Shura: Islamic Leadership Council of New York.
"Today is the day we see no more normalisers in our circles, no more normalisers in our leadership circles, no more normalisation in any place in our communities."
