Hamas-Linked CAIR Tells Biden to Fight ‘Islamophobia’ by Ending Israeli Campaign Against Hamas~BIDEN CONFRONTED WITH “ABANDON BIDEN” PROTEST

‘Islamophobia’ is just a lie told to protect Islamic terrorists.

Just in case you were wondering whether the entire ‘Islamophobia’ hoax being ramped up was about anything except supporting Hamas, CAIR, which has its own history with Hamas, would like to clarify that yes, it’s about Hamas.

“The first and most important step President Biden must take to combat surging Islamophobia is the step that American Muslim leaders and organizations have repeatedly called on him to take: demand a ceasefire in Gaza,” CAIR Deputy Director Edward Ahmed Mitchell claimed.

“The development of a national strategy to combat anti-Muslim bigotry is an important step that can make a positive impact if it involves an inclusive process with all stakeholders in the American Muslim community and tackles institutional Islamophobia within the government, such as the watchlist. But first and foremost, we need a ceasefire. The American Muslim community will accept nothing less.”

There’s no ‘Islamophobia.’ If the issue were attacks or harassment of Muslims, that would be the priority. Instead, it takes a backseat to protecting Hamas.

When your entire ‘Islamophobia’ program can be reduced to protecting Islamic terrorists from their victims, it’s all too abundantly obvious that the whole thing is just a strategy of playing the victim in order to enable Islamic terrorism.

CAIR is saying the quiet part out loud, that the ‘Islamophobia’ hoax exists to be put at the service of Hamas. Much as it was previously put at the service of Al Qaeda.

There’s no Islamophobia, only Islamic terrorism. ‘Islamophobia’ is just a lie told to protect Islamic terrorists.

Groups such as CAIR would denounce such comments as ‘Islamophobic,’ but they’re the ones making them.

Minnesota: Muslim leaders including Hamas-linked CAIR chief greet Biden with ‘Abandon Biden’ protest

The chickens are coming home to roost for Biden as he tries to balance support from both the Jewish Left lobby and Muslim Brotherhood-linked Islamic groups. He made a pact with the Muslim Brotherhood-linked group Emgage during the 2020 election: he would get their support in return for appointing Muslims at all levels of his administration. More recently, he held a private meeting in the White House with highly questionable Muslim leaders in order to continue appeasing the Muslim community, who are now calling for a Gaza ceasefire while Biden has expressed support for Israel; see HERE.

Biden is now losing his unsavory friends fast.

Already, the National Muslim Democratic Council, a nationwide group of Democratic leaders and activists, has threatened Biden that if he does not force Israel to reach a ceasefire with Hamas, a U.S. State Department-designated foreign terrorist organization, they will withdraw their support from him. But how is Biden supposed to “force” the sovereign state of Israel to stop defending its country and citizens?

The Islamic supremacist lobby is enraged over the fact that Biden used them for votes, as leaders habitually do, particularly on the Left. The Red-Green axis is merely a partnership of convenience.

But it isn’t only Biden that is now between a rock and a hard place. Is the Muslim lobby, since it is not getting the full obedience it demands from Biden, going to follow through on its threat? Whom will it endorse? They certainly won’t be voting Republican.

“As he visits Minnesota, local Muslim leaders say they will ‘abandon Biden,'” by Alex Seitz-Wald, Julia Jester, and Gabe Gutierrez, NBC, November 1, 2023:

MINNEAPOLIS — President Joe Biden was met with protests organized by local Muslim leaders when he arrived in Minneapolis on Wednesday for a series of events, the latest sign that Muslim American voters may turn against the president after having supported him in 2020.

The Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the country’s largest Muslim advocacy group, organized three separate protests at various locations Biden visited Wednesday, including the airport, a farm in rural Northfield, and downtown Minneapolis.

It is pushing for a cease-fire in Gaza, where the Israeli military — with U.S. support — has been ramping up attacks against Hamas militants, causing a growing number of Palestinian civilian deaths in collateral damage. It says Biden is losing its support by not doing more to rein in Israel in Gaza or combat Islamophobia at home.

“We are going to abandon Biden because he has abandoned us,” Jaylani Hussein, the executive director of CAIR Minnesota, told NBC News hours after he stood next to “Abandon Biden” signs at a news conference, though he said he was speaking in his personal capacity since CAIR’s non-profit tax status bars it from electioneering.

“I don’t think that this is a rash emotional decision by the American Muslim community. It is a foregone conclusion. … The anger is not going to go away. We don’t have short memories,” Hussein added. “I still have not heard from any Muslim leader in Minnesota who has said this is a mistake.”….

Derron Borders, ‘Diversity and Inclusion’ Officer at Cornell, and Hamas Cheerleader

Many American campuses during the last month have seen student demonstrations where Israel is denounced for being a colonial-settler and apartheid state, cruelly oppressing the Palestinians. Chants of support for Hamas and its “resistance” are screamed out, faculty members sign collective letters denouncing Israel, and university administrators offer weak or nonexistent condemnations of antisemitism and Hamas atrocities. Derron Borders is an example of antisemitism on campuses. More on Borders can be found here.

Derron Borders was a senior “Diversity and Inclusion” official at Cornell University (Cornell) when Borders wrote pro-Hamas and pro-terror Instagram posts in October 2023. 

The incident occurred following a series of Hamas terror attacks and war crimes against civilians, including mass murder, torture, rape, beheadings and kidnappings, which were carried out on October 7, 2023. 

On October 8, 2023, Borders reportedly posted on Instagram Stories: “When you hear about Israel this morning and the resistance being launched by Palestinians, remember against all odds Palestinians are fighting for life, dignity, and freedom – alongside others doing the same – against settler colonization, imperialism, capitalism, white supremacy, which the United States is the model.”…

Yes, according to Derron Borders, nothing says we are “fighting for life, dignity, and freedom” like decapitating babies, burning children alive, gang-raping and murdering young girls, gouging out eyes, cutting off genitalia, and slicing off breasts,, killing children in front of their parents, and parents in front of the children. That is real “resistance” that Derron Borders wants people at Cornell and the world to support.

The post continued: “Let it be known the fight for Palestine against colonization, is a fight for the imagination that other worlds are possible, that genocide should not be accepted, and that people always have the choice of refusal and the right to resist. Free the land.”…

Are you aware, Mr. Borders, that in 1967, when Israel took possession of Gaza, its population was 400,00, and it rose to 1.3 million by 2005, when every last Israeli left the Strip? Do those numbers support the charge of “genocide”? Gaza’s population is now 2.2 million. And in the West Bank, the Arab population in 1967 was 810,000, when Israel took control of the area, and is now three million. Genocide, Mr. Borders? What genocide?

On October 28, 2023, Borders posted [slide 3] on Instagram Stories a video clip of terrorist Ghassan Kanafani explaining why Palestinians should not engage in peace talks with Israel.

Kanafani was a leading member and spokesperson for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) during the terrorist organization’s early years. Kanafani announced the PFLP’s responsibility for the Lod Airport Massacre of May 1972 and was linked to the airport attackers. The attack killed 26 people and wounded 80 others.  

Derron Borders apparently admires the late Ghassan Kanafani, a leader of the terror group PFLP that has been responsible for many terror attacks, including that at the Lod Airport in 1972.

As of October 2023, Borders was listed online as the director of the Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) at Cornell’s Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management in the SC Johnson College of Business in Ithaca, New York.

Also as of October 2023, Borders was listed online as “Chair of the Measurement and Accountability Committee as part of the SC Johnson College of Business Dean’s Leadership Council on Combatting Racism and Promoting Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging.”…

Borders’ remit at Cornell is the promotion of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging at the S. C. Johnson Business School. I wonder if his squalid antisemitism — for only that could explain his embrace of Hamas — has now been sufficiently on display for those higher up in Cornell’s administration to reconsider his fitness for such a job.

On October 10, 2023, Cornell reportedly admitted to being “made aware of” Borders’s comments but that Borders “has been on a leave of absence from the university for several months.”

Borders has been on a “leave of absence” for several months. Why was that? Did he post antisemitic remarks on social media, or make antisemitic statements to colleagues? There must be some very good reason why he was put on leave.

And now, following Borders’ posts on Instagram, offering his wholehearted support to Hamas “resistance” one day after the October 7 massacre, Cornell has to do the right thing, especially since it has been getting quite a reputation for being a distinctly uncomfortable place for Jewish students. Do the right thing, Cornell. For his endorsing as legitimate “resistance” the atrocities of Hamas, a recognized terrorist group, Derron Borders needs to be dismissed.

Far-left Arabella Advisors funnels donor cash to groups organizing pro-Hamas protests across America

In regard to the trans madness and LGBTQ propaganda, we are inundated with everywhere, the Leftist/Islamic alliance is showing signs of strain. But when it comes to killing Jews, the two allies are closer than ever, like peas in a pod.

“Dem Dark Money ‘Arabella’ Group Has Funneled $10M To Pro-Hamas Protesters,” by William Upton, National Pulse, November 1, 2023:

Arabella Advisors, a progressive Washington, D.C.-based dark money operation, is using numerous non-profit organizations it controls to funnel left-wing donor cash to groups organizing pro-Hamas protests across America. The firm is at the center of a vast network of dark money groups which has now funneled over $10 million to anti-Israel causes over the past five years.

The funds have moved through Arabella-controlled non-profits like the New Venture Fund, the Sixteen Thirty Fund, the Hopewell Fund, and the North Fund. Some of the groups on the final receiving end have outwardly called for the destruction of the State of Israel and the genocide of the Jewish population living there. Reports suggest some of the Palestinian organizations funded by the same network may even have direct links to terrorist groups like Hamas.

Over $5 million in donations were directed to non-profit associated with hardline anti-Semite Linda Sarsour, who was even made to step down as a leader of the radical ‘Women’s March’ protest in 2019 over her open hostility to Jews and affiliation with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. Even the far-left Anti-Defamation League has accused Sarsour of “fomenting” anti-Semitism….

Pro-Palestine Protesters Block Military Supply Ship Leaving Port of Oakland

A U.S. military supply ship was prevented from departing from the Port of Oakland on Friday due to pro-Palestine protesters tying themselves to the vessel and calling for an end to the Israeli-Hamas conflict in Gaza.

Additionally, the furious protesters obstructed access to Berth 20, which is home to the container ship Cape Orlando.

According to protest organizations, the ship was loaded in Tacoma, Washington, with military hardware and weapons that were headed for Israel. 

The Arab Resource Organizing Center, which is based in San Francisco, reportedly coordinated the protest.

“It’s incumbent on all of us as taxpayers to demand more and to stop U.S. aid to Israel as long as the violence continues,” said Lara Kiswani, the organizer and executive director of the Arab Resource and Organizing Center.

Around 200 people were demonstrating, and many of them were holding banners calling for an end to U.S. military assistance to Israel while carrying Palestinian flags.

Police were also present at the scene.

A representative for the Port of Oakland refrained from condemning the protesters and instead said that since the demonstration started at 6:45 a.m., it has not interfered with any other cargo handling operations.

In order to make sure the protests were peaceful, Oakland Police informed KPIX that they were monitoring the rally and working with the Port of Oakland and the U.S. Coast Guard.

As of Friday at 4:33 p.m. PST, no one has been arrested.

Jordanian in Houston Accused of Plotting Attack on Jewish People

Christopher Wray, the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), said that a Jordanian national who resides in Houston, Texas, has openly expressed his support for the extermination of Jewish people.

The federal count of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person is now being brought against 20-year-old Sohaib Abuayyash.

Wray referenced Abuayyash when testifying on Tuesday before the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security, however, he did not use his name. Wray spoke about risks facing the nation in terms of possible copycat terrorists, and also mentioned a rise in anti-Semitism.

“We have seen that with an individual we arrested last week in Houston had studied how to build bombs and posted online about his support for killing Jews,” Wray said during the testimony.

Wray also said that the biggest concern facing the U.S. was violent religious extremists who drew inspiration from Middle Eastern terrorist attacks in order to study them further and later plan attacks on Americans, referring to Abuayyash.

Abuayyash is a Jordanian national who travels with a Palestinian passport, according to the criminal complaint that was filed. In 2020, he filed an asylum application in the United States, which is currently pending.

The lawsuit states that the 20-year-old is prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition due to his present legal status in the United States.

The document included screenshots from his social media posts on Instagram and TikTok that show Abuayyash was utilizing several different firearms at local shooting ranges in Houston.

“Abuayyash has been in direct contact with others who share a radical mindset, has been conducting physical training, and has trained with weapons possibly to commit an attack,” the criminal complaint states.

A judge signed documents expressing that since there are no conditions to ensure that the community or anyone else is safe, Abuayyash should be kept in custody until his trial date, just to be safe.

The FBI released the following statement but also said that they were unable to comment on the case at this time due to its pending status.

The statement reads: “The FBI is continuing to monitor threats associated with the Israel-HAMAS conflict in the United States and overseas. As the conflict continues, the FBI has seen an increase in reports of threats against Jewish, Muslim, and Arab communities and institutions, raising our concern that violent extremists and lone offenders motivated by or reacting to ongoing events could target these communities. We take all potential threats seriously and are working closely with our law enforcement partners to determine their credibility, share information, and take appropriate investigative action. As we are communicating with our law enforcement partners, faith communities, and others, the Public Service Announcement linked below is being released by the FBI and DHS to the American public to help protect our communities. We ask members of the public to immediately report anything or anyone they consider suspicious to law enforcement or contact their local FBI Office: www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field-offices. Tips can also be submitted to tips.fbi.gov or 1-800-CALL FBI.”

“Lone actors” who keep their extremist ideas to themselves also worry the FBI, according to the agency. They often aim to assault “soft, familiar targets” using weapons that are easy to acquire, a spokeswoman warned. Additionally, it is much more difficult to locate, look into, and dissuade those individuals before they execute their schemes.

The Anti-Defamation League’s southwest regional director, Mark Toubin, stated that his organization has seen a major rise in anti-Semitic events following the October 7th Hamas attacks. The group reportedly received 312 complaints of incidents from October 7th to October 23rd, compared to 64 nationally during the same time last year.

“Unfortunately, there are those who have said that those kinds of heinous crimes are justified because of the conflict, and when you start from there, you can only imagine what kind of green light it provides other people,” Toubin asserted.

Lizzie Fletcher, a Congresswoman and member of the House Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Anti-Semitism, posted the following statement highlighting the arrest of the Jordanian national.  

“I am deeply concerned by reports of a possible terrorist plot to attack the Jewish community in Houston. As antisemitic threats against Jews in the United States have reached historic levels in recent weeks, it is critical that we ensure the safety of Jewish families in Texas’s Seventh Congressional District and across our country. I am grateful and relieved that the FBI acted swiftly to thwart any planned attack, and I am requesting an immediate briefing from the FBI to discuss efforts to keep our community’s Jewish families safe,” Fletcher said.

Fauci-Run Lab In Montana Experimented With Coronavirus Strain From Wuhan A Year Before Pandemic

Director Anthony Fauci speaks during the daily press briefing. (Photo by JIM WATSON/AFP via Getty Images)

Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

A recent investigation has revealed that coronaviruses from the Chinese facility in Wuhan, which is now understood to be the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic, were experimented with a little over a year before the worldwide pandemic. These efforts were also funded by U.S. taxpayers.

In 2018, a “SARS-like” virus known as WIV1 was introduced in a lab in Montana, infecting 12 Egyptian fruit bats under the direction of Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health.

The WIV1 coronavirus was reportedly tested on bats obtained from a “roadside” Maryland zoo and was transported from the Wuhan facility, where the FBI now suspects the COVID-19 pandemic originated.

According to data that was made public this week by a campaign organization, the unique virus was unable to generate a “robust infection.”

However, the study provides additional proof of the connections between the U.S. government, the Wuhan lab, and the tax-payer-funded risky virus research.

In 2018, the publication of the study was completed, showing that the “SARS-Like Coronavirus WIV1-CoV Does Not Replicate in Egyptian Fruit Bats.” DRASTIC, an online activist organization that looks into the origins of COVID-19 and the lab leak scenario, initially brought attention to the study.

The White Coat Waste Project (WCW), a watchdog group, is currently requesting further information on the experiment under the Freedom of Information Act. The group has been campaigning to prevent American tax funds from being sent abroad to finance controversial virus research.

The 2018 study was conducted under the direction of Fauci, the former head of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, at the NIH’s Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Montana. Ralph Baric of the University of North Carolina, a partner with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and the NIH’s Rocky Mountain Laboratories also collaborated on the study.

Twelve Egyptian fruit bats were taken from a Maryland zoo by scientists, who then injected the animals with the WIV1-coronavirus, which was initially identified in Chinese rufous horseshoe bats.

Every day, they examined the bats and took their temperatures and body weights. Researchers also collected samples from the mouths and nostrils of the animals.

Four of the bats were put to sleep on days three, seven, and 28, and their heart, liver, kidney, spleen, bladder, reproductive organs, eyes, and brain were taken out for examination. Antibodies and white blood cell counts were also examined by researchers.

The WIV1-coronavirus did not create “a robust infection,” according to the researchers, who also found “very limited evidence of virus replication.”

The WCW said that the zoo’s curator and director of animal health, who had previously worked at the NIH’s own animal testing labs from 2003 to 2012, had shipped the bats from a “roadside” Maryland zoo to the Montana facility.

The Catoctin Wildlife Preserve (CWP), which is situated in Thurmont, Maryland, less than 15 minutes from Camp David, has a history of violating animal welfare laws. In 2012, the CWP was fined $12,000 for providing subpar care and shelter for animals that was deemed unsafe and negligent.

As of April 2023, records indicate that of the 523 federally controlled creatures housed in the preserve, 241 were bats, 41 of which were Egyptian fruit bats.

“I left heartbroken and sad. The enclosures are so small and not well kept. This place is so unkempt. It’s awful. It needs to be shut down. You can see the pain in these animals eyes. Something has to be done about this place,” said one reviewer of the establishment.

The United States conducts the majority of gain-of-function virus research across the globe. In gain-of-function trials, pathogens are rendered more lethal or contagious.

Proponents of the experiments argue that they help scientists anticipate future outbreaks, while detractors contend that the hazards of a leak exceed any possible advantages. Due to these concerns, U.S. officials discreetly terminated a $125 million study last month that searched for novel viruses using public funding.

“Our investigation has uncovered the real-life horror story of how a shady roadside zoo whose curator was an NIH animal experimenter shipped off bats to a deadly government virus lab overseen by Dr. Fauci to be infected with a coronavirus obtained directly from the Wuhan lab that experts believe caused COVID,” said the founder of WCW, Anthony Bellotti.

Nikki Haley’s Troubling Land Giveaway to CCP-Connected Company

PAULA BOLYARD | 2:54 PM ON NOVEMBER 03, 2023
SEE: https://pjmedia.com/paula-bolyard/2023/11/03/nikki-haleys-obfuscation-on-sc-land-giveaway-to-ccp-connected-company-is-troubling-n4923575;Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

Former U.S. ambassador and presidential candidate Nikki Haley has been warning about China, calling it part of the "New Axis of Evil" and tweeting that the U.S. should "end normal trade relations with Communist China until it stops killing Americans with fentanyl." 

In another tweet, she said, "We are living through the most dangerous period in our lifetimes. It feels like Jimmy Carter’s 1970s. But the better comparison might be the 1930s. There’s war in Europe. There’s war in the Middle East. Communism is on the march – not in the Soviet Union, but in China." 

That's all fine and good, but her campaign trail rhetoric doesn't match her record as governor of South Carolina. During her tenure, South Carolina sold and gave away hundreds of acres of real estate to Chinese investors. 

The land giveaway involves a Chinese company with strong ties to the Chinese Communist Party called China Jushi. In a 2016 Facebook post, Haley announced, "Get excited! China Jushi is creating 400 new jobs and investing $300 million right here in Columbia! They are the leading supplier of fiberglass reinforcements and fabrics worldwide."

In an agreement first reported by the Washington Post, China Jushi agreed to create 800 jobs and invest $400 million in the state in exchange for 197 acres of South Carolina real estate valued at $4.9 million. According to the WaPo, "This is a partially state-owned enterprise where a top official is a ranking Chinese Communist Party member. Board chairman Chang Zhangli is a party committee member. China National Building Material Company Limited, a state-owned company, owns nearly 27 percent of China Jushi, according to the company website. Several top officials of CNBMC also are party officials."

But that's not all. Chinese companies purchased 1,500 acres of land, and Chinese capital investment doubled in the state while Haley was governor.

The WaPo reported on the more significant purchases and cozy deals with Chinese companies:

And there were multiple small land buys by Chinese companies as well: 

  • 58 acres in 2013 by JN Fibers for a new production facility after receiving an $800,000 state grant and other incentives; 
  • 34 acres (valued at $15 million) by Yanfeng Automotive in 2016 to establish a plant; 
  • 31 acres by the plastics manufacturer Uniscite in 2015 to establish a manufacturing plant. 

In addition, the WaPo found that "Eleven other deals involved land purchases of under 30 acres each, with some also involving state grants and incentives."

Many of these were negotiated at the county level or by individuals, yet Haley's office celebrated the deals as big wins for the state.

According to the S.C. Department of Commerce, the state "has recorded capital investment from Chinese companies totaling almost $669 million." And in 2007, South Carolina signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Chinese government "to establish and designate South Carolina as a preferred United States location for Chinese businesses," which was signed "during a visit to South Carolina by an official with the Ministry of Commerce, People’s Republic of China."

Granted, 1,500-odd acres of real estate in South Carolina isn't a huge amount of land, but it's troubling that Haley, a China hawk who has been warning about the dangers of the CCP, played footsie with the Chinese while governor of the state. Moreover, Haley was less than honest when asked about it at a town hall in Iowa last month. 

An audience member asked, “I saw something on the internet that said you gave China thousands of acres of land in South Carolina. Why would you do that?”

“Don’t believe what you read on the internet," Haley replied. "We didn’t sell any land to the Chinese. But, yes, I recruited a fiberglass company.”

Well, the facts don't lie, nor do South Carolina's contracts with Chinese companies and documents on the state's website. 

She went on to defend the contracts at the town hall: "There is not a governor in this country or a state in this country that hasn’t worked to get Chinese business in their state somewhere. There’s not a household in this country that doesn’t have Chinese products in it. But there is a difference between focusing on something that’s going to hurt our national security and focusing on whether I brought a fiberglass company to South Carolina."

PJ Media reached out to Haley's campaign for a comment, but they did not respond in time for publishing. 

If Haley does indeed believe that China poses an existential threat to the United States and that we should "end normal trade relations" with the Communist regime, she should own up to bringing a company with ties to the CCP to her state. Moreover, she should apologize to the American people for bringing their operatives to our shores.
