President Donald Trump will sign an executive order on Wednesday to deport foreign students who take part in anti-Israel and pro-Hamas protests on U.S. college campuses, as his crackdown on anti-Semitism across the nation commences.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will also become the first foreign leader to make a visit to the White House under the new Trump administration.

The new executive order will target “resident aliens, including students with visas,” who broke laws during protests following the October 7th, 2023 attacks on Israel — which were committed by the Islamist terrorist group Hamas.

A fact sheet describing the plans states that Trump will order the Justice Department to “aggressively prosecute terroristic threats, arson, vandalism, and violence against American Jews.”

“To all the resident aliens who joined in the pro-jihadist protests, we put you on notice: come 2025, we will find you, and we will deport you,” Trump says in the fact sheet. “I will also quickly cancel the student visas of all Hamas sympathizers on college campuses, which have been infested with radicalism like never before.”

This comes after many American universities, including Columbia University in New York, became the site of numerous anti-Israel protests last year — as the Israel-Hamas war raged on.

Many Jewish students have reported feeling uncomfortable and that they are being harassed by pro-Palestine protesters while walking on campus, all the while spending a large sum of money in order to get a higher education at a prestigious school. In fact, some Jewish students even feared that they may be assaulted during the contentious time.

At the time, pro-Palestine students involved in the protests had made outrageous demands of their school board and school president — like that their university sever financial ties with Jewish and pro-Israel donors, while demanding that the U.S. end its ally support of Israel.

Now, Trump’s newest order gives leaders of U.S. government agencies and departments a maximum of 60 days to provide the White House with recommendations on how to identify anti-Semitic threats.

Meanwhile, the U.S. is currently pushing Israel and Hamas to keep their ceasefire in place. Netanyahu expressed confidence in Trump to help the process go more smoothly and quickly. Now, the more difficult second phase is reportedly set to begin next Monday.

“On behalf of the people of Israel, I also want to thank you [Trump] for your efforts in helping free Israeli hostages,” the Israeli PM stated earlier this month. “I look forward to working with you to return the remaining hostages, to destroy Hamas’ military capabilities and to end its political rule in Gaza.”

The president signed an executive order last week calling for the removal of foreign visa holders who “advocate for, aid or support designated foreign terrorists and other threats to our national security.”

During a rally in New Jersey last year, Trump promised: “When I am President, we will not allow our colleges to be taken over by violent radicals. And if you come here from another country and try to bring jihadism or anti-Americanism or anti-Semitism to our campuses, we will immediately deport you.”

Since the ceasefire announcement between the two sides involved in the ongoing war efforts, college protests have reportedly “calmed down.”

Editor’s note: American campuses are awash in a crisis of Jew hatred. Ineffectual college administrators have taken tentative steps to try and rein in the proponents of terror on their campuses, but they have yet to confront the most obvious source of this poisonous Jew hatred—their own radical faculty who have not only called for an end to Israel but have outright celebrated the barbaric bloodshed of the terror group Hamas.

The Freedom Center is exposing these radical, pro-terror faculty as the Top Ten Hamas Loyalist Professors. We will be publishing one school per day as a series on Frontpage. Rabab Abdulhadi, a professor of ethnic studies at San Francisco State University, is #1 on our list.

#1: Rabab Abdulhadi, San Francisco State University

Amongst the litany of Jew-hating faculty currently teaching at American universities, one name rises above all the rest—that of San Francisco State University professor of Ethnic Studies Rabab Abdulhadi, who is also the founding director of SFSU’s Arab and Muslim Ethnicities and Diasporas Initiative (AMED), an academic program which flouts its anti-Semitism by openly declaring Zionism to be racist and Israel to be the occupier of Palestine. AMED is known for sponsoring events that feature posters reading, “My Heroes Have Always Killed Colonizers,” referring to Israel’s Jews.

In October 7th 2023, following Hamas’s massacre, mutilation, and rape of over 1200 innocent Israelis, and the taking of hundreds more as hostages, Professor Abdulhadi quote-tweeted Rep. Ilhan Omar—who has her own long record of anti-Semitism—not to agree with the Congresswoman’s remarks but to chastise her for condemning Hamas’s actions. “Seriously @IlhanMN? ‘Senseless’ #PalestineUnderAttack are merely defending themselves. Are you saying that #Palestinians should be exceptionalized from the right to defend themselves against colonial & racist violence? Check your facts! #FreePalestine #IsraeliCrimes” Abdulhadi tweeted. Apparently one of the House of Representatives leading anti-Semites isn’t extreme enough for the SFSU professor.

Also on October 7th, Abdulhadi tweeted, “It’s worth remembering how vicious colonists act when the colonized dare #breakTheirChains from #Palestine, #Algeria #Vietnam … to #TurtleIsland. No innocent bystanders here. Demand immediate accountability for #IsraeliCrimes. #BDS.”  Abdulhadi’s clear support for Hamas and their paratroopers of terror is undeniable, as is her belief that none of the 1200-plus victims of Hamas’s barbaric violence—including children and babies who were beheaded and burned alive—can be seen as “innocent bystanders.”

Professor Abdulhadi’s comments promoting Hamas and their regime of terror should not come as a surprise to anyone who has followed her academic career over the past two decades. Abdulhadi has repeatedly glorified anti-Israel terrorism in public talks.

letter sent by a coalition of concerned Jewish groups to SFSU President Leslie Wong in 2014 describes in chilling detail how an Ethnic Studies Department event organized by Abdulhadi featured “wild inaccuracies, monstrous distortions, and blatant lies — all intended to demonize and delegitimize the Jewish state and promote a boycott that would hasten its demise.”

Professor Abdulhadi’s husband, Jaime Veve, a union activist, also spoke at the 2014 event she organized to exalt anti-Semitic terrorists and murderers.  The letter to President Wong describes how Veve “insisted that Palestinians who had injured or murdered Jews were not terrorists but rather ‘heroes or heroines’ who had ‘committed political acts of defiance and resistance,’ and he justified Palestinian terrorism by calling it ‘the cry of a baby calling for the attention of the world.’”

During her tenure at SFSU, Abdulhadi has sought to build relationships with anti-Israel terrorists. While attending a university-sponsored trip to Israel in 2014, she met with anti-Israel terrorists Leila Khaled and Sheikh Raed Salah. Abdulhadi has praised Khaled, a notorious airplane hijacker, as “an icon of the liberation movements and…an icon of women’s liberation.” Salah served a prison sentence in Israel for aiding the terrorist group Hamas. He has also been charged with incitement to violence for giving a public speech in which he accused Jews of using the blood of Palestinian children to bake their bread.  Despite this, Abdulhadi has insisted that he does not have terrorist ties.

In September 2020, Abdulhadi and AMED held an event featuring Khaled. Abdulhadi had planned to stream the event on Zoom, but the platform canceled its coverage, citing Khaled’s terrorist record.

Abdulhadi also attempted to open a formal collaboration between SFSU and An-Najah National University in Nablus, Palestine. An-Najah University has been described by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) as “known for its advocacy of anti-Israel violence and its recruitment of Palestinian college students into terrorist groups.”

The notorious professor has not hesitated to use her privileged position as a professor at SFSU to promote her anti-Israel agenda. Abdulhadi is a founding member of the US Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (USACBI), which also supports the wider Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement against Israel, an anti-Semitic, Hamas-funded campaign to isolate and weaken the Jewish state. She frequently promotes BDS at university-sponsored events and forums.

In March 2019, she shared a live video and statement on the official Facebook page for the Arab and Muslim Ethnicities and Diasporas Initiative (AMED). The statement demonized Israel and invoked anti-Semitic conspiracy tropes by accusing the SFSU administration of “collaborat[ing] with Zionist designs to silence us… staff, faculty and community who view Israel (as I do) as a colonial, racist and occupying power…” and labeled the administration’s conduct as “the weaponization of free speech in the service of Nazis, Zionists and other white supremacists…” In July 2019, she shared an image of a large banner exhorting “Zionism = Racism, Silence = Death, Palestine is a Queer Issue – Boycott! Divest! Sanctions!”

Abdulhadi has repeatedly propagated anti-Semitic tropes, accusing Jews of conspiring to orchestrate world affairs and of possessing dual loyalties—a slur implying that Jews have more loyalty to Israel than to America or other nations. In September 2020, the professor said on Facebook: “I think we need to go to [then U.S. vice presidential candidate] Kamala Harris and tell her: ‘…It’s not okay that some of our representatives have dual Israeli-U.S. passports. That’s not okay! That’s not okay!…”

In a February 2019 interview with Arab Talk, Abdulhadi denigrated pro-Israel groups in America, saying [00:07:09]: “These groups are bullies…they push around in Congress and they bribe them, and they give them money, they twist their arms and so on, they are used to basically silencing everybody and crushing everybody.”

While Abdulhadi uses the public resources of San Francisco State to promote her Jew hatred, she is notably less tolerant toward pro-Israel views. When SFSU President Leslie Wong was forced to clarify that he welcomes Zionists to the University, Abdulhadi responded by equating Zionists with the KKK: “I’m waiting for him to say, white supremacists are welcome, KKK is welcome, David Horowitz is welcome, Richard Spenser is welcome, neo-Nazis are welcome, homophobes are welcome, misogynists are welcome, why stop at Zionists? Welcome them all. I mean bring the…whole club. Bring everybody who is right wing and racist, bring them to campus, why only stop at Zionists.”

It is the same toxic ethos that is now spouted by rabid Jew-haters and Hamas supporters on campuses across the nation—and Professor Abdulhadi was one of its earliest adherents and promoters.

Abdulhadi has also dedicated herself to encouraging the next generation of Jew haters. For several years she served as faculty advisor to SFSU’s chapter of the General Union of Palestinian Students (GUPS), an SJP surrogate group. During her tenure as faculty advisor, organization president Mohammad G. Hammad was exposed as having written a number of threatening social media posts describing his wish to attack students, teachers and Israeli soldiers and to ally himself with anti-Israel terrorists, including the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). Hammad’s posts included a photo of himself holding a large knife with the caption, “I seriously cannot get over how much I love this blade. It is the sharpest thing I own and cuts through everything like butter and just holding it makes me want to stab an Israeli soldier…” Hammad was investigated for terrorism by the FBI.

Despite her atrocious record, Abdulhadi is still being lauded as a leader in her field. In January 2023, the Middle East Studies Association (MESA) awarded its 2022 Jerome L. Bacharach Service Award to Abdulhadi—a dubious honor given MESA’s own record of anti-Semitism and extreme hostility toward Israel.

As one of the most extreme proponents of Hamas and other anti-Israel terrorist groups in academia, Professor Abdulhadi deserves to be first on the list of Hamas Loyalist Professors.

Editor’s note: American campuses are awash in a crisis of Jew hatred. Ineffectual college administrators have taken tentative steps to try and rein in the proponents of terror on their campuses, but they have yet to confront the most obvious source of this poisonous Jew hatred—their own radical faculty who have not only called for an end to Israel but have outright celebrated the barbaric bloodshed of the terror group Hamas.

The Freedom Center is exposing these radical, pro-terror faculty as the Top Ten Hamas Loyalist Professors. We will be publishing one school per day as a series on Frontpage. Huda Fakhreddine, an associate professor of Arabic literature at the University of Pennsylvania, is #4 on our list.

#4: Huda Fakhreddine, University of Pennsylvania

An associate professor of Arabic literature at the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Huda Fakhreddine has repeatedly voiced praise for the Jew-hating terrorist group Hamas and has specifically lauded their barbaric attack on innocent Israeli civilians  on October 7th during which over 1200 were slaughtered and many more raped, mutilated, and taken hostage.

On October 7, 2023, just hours after the massacre, Fakhreddine tweeted in Arabic, “While we were asleep, Palestine invented a new way of life,” clearly celebrating the brutal slaughter of Israeli innocents.

A few days later, on October 12, Fakhreddine doubled down on her warped view of the conflict, posting a “Statement of Solidarity with Palestine”  which charged Israel with “sole responsibility” for Hamas’s October 7th massacre.  The statement claimed that “The Palestinian resistance efforts”—note the whitewashing of mass rape and baby-killing as acts of “resistance”—“are a response to 75 years of occupation, colonization, and apartheid by the Israeli settler colonial regime.”

In a Facebook post a week later, Fakhreddine added: “When we chant, 'From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," we are calling for a one state, one person=one vote, where everyone living between the river and the sea is free and treated as a human being with rights and dignity." If some see freedom and equal rights for all as an existential threat, then they are the problem. No country should require oppression and apartheid to exist.”

As the anti-Semitism watchdog site Canary Mission notes, “‘From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free’ is a chant calling to dismantle the state of Israel. It has also been employed by Hamas leader Khaled Mashal to call for the replacement of Israel with an Islamic state.” It is a genocidal call for the annihilation of Israel and the destruction of its entire Jewish population.

So extreme are Fakhreddine’s views that she rejects even the common pro-Palestine descriptor of Gaza as an “open-air prison,” tweeting  that, “Gaza is not an open-air prison. Prisoners receive visitors and aid is allowed to be passed to them. Gaza is a Nazi-style concentration camp, a concentration camp under bombardment.” Fakhreddine’s comparison of Israel’s conduct to Hitler’s Nazi regime is a common and widely-used form of Jew hatred.

The professor has repeatedly made clear that she supports Hamas’s attack on innocent Israeli civilians. In a civil rights case filed in U.S. District Court, Jewish students at Penn allege that at a pro-Palestine rally in October 16, 2023, one speaker declared that “all settlers and all settlements are legitimate military targets and will be targeted.” The same speaker also told Jewish students to “go back to Moscow, Brooklyn . . . fucking Berlin where you came from.” According to the case filing, “Professors, including Huda Fakhreddine, cheered the speaker on and clapped in approval.”

Last May, when students created an illegal pro-Hamas encampment on Penn’s campus, Professor Fakhreddine was on hand to support them. When university officials finally allowed city police to clear the encampment, Fakhreddine sided with the students who illegally occupied university land and claimed that the students were “brutalized” by law enforcement. She further drew a parallel to the actions of Philadelphia and campus police and an instance from her childhood when Israeli military forces “invaded” her village in Lebanon.

Fakhreddine was one of the faculty organizers of the notoriously anti-Semitic Palestine Writes Literature Festival, held on campus in the fall of 2023. At the event, which brought many well-known Jew haters to Penn’s campus, Fakhreddine used the genocidal phrase “From the river to the sea,” promoting the destruction of Israel and its Jewish population.

The professor also denied the well-established fact that the Jewish people have deep ancestral ties to the land of Israel, stating “And now, as Zionists continue to forcibly remove us from our homes, destroy and build over our ancestral villages, cemeteries and archaeological heritage. They have invented a stunning new tale of indigeneity [that is] propagated in popular culture throughout the West in particular.”

She also invoked anti-Semitic tropes that Jews control the media, stating “An open collaboration with Israeli media continues to remove or shadow ban Palestinian content on social media, a phenomenon that was verified by an independent investigation commissioned by Facebook itself that revealed unequivocal anti Palestinian bias. Financial platforms like PayPal have been pressured by Zionists to disallow Palestinians from even the most mundane of transactions.”

Fakhreddine mocked concerns about the potential for anti-Semitism at the festival as “Hysterical and racist accusations that our presence here poses a threat to Jewish students on campus, making them feel unsafe and fearful of wearing their kippas” adding, “Again, this is an old, well worn colonial script of the violent, dark, irrational and savage native." Which I will not dignify with a response.”

In perhaps her most direct statement of Jew hatred, Fakhreddine alleged that “So many of us in this room have had to watch our elders die in refugee camps that aren’t fit for rodents, all so they [Jews] can have an extra country if they want, the violence of which is on full display on this campus every year when Zionists set up their so-called Birthright Trips propaganda tours to recruit young American Jews to become our colonizers, tormentors and Lords.”

For her outright and enthusiastic support for Hamas’s October 7 massacre targeting Jewish civilians in Israel and her well-documented record of anti-Semitism, Penn Professor Huda Fakhreddine deserves her place on the list of Hamas-loyalist professors.

The Freedom Center is exposing these radical, pro-terror faculty as the Top Ten Hamas Loyalist Professors. We will be publishing one school per day as a series on Frontpage. Joseph Massad, a professor of Modern Arab Politics and Intellectual History, is #5 on our list.

#5: Joseph Massad, Columbia University

During the more than two decades that he has been teaching students at Columbia University, Joseph Massad, a professor of Modern Arab Politics and Intellectual History, has accumulated a reputation as a notorious Jew-hater and an ardent supporter of the terrorist group Hamas. Yet it was an essay describing Hamas’s barbaric October 7th massacre of innocent Israelis as “awesome,” “astonishing,” “astounding,” and “incredible” that finally forced the university to launch a half-hearted “investigation” into his behavior.

Massad’s long record of anti-Semitism is hardly up for debate. He denies the Jewish people’s historical connection to Israel, claiming absurdly that the very establishment of Israel as a Jewish homeland was anti-Semitic because it differentiated Jews from other “white Europeans.”  He has maliciously slandered Israel as a “racist settler colony” and has compared the Jews to Hitler’s Nazi party. In a speech given at Oxford University in 2002, Massad denied that Israel had a right to exist, claiming “The Jews are not a nation… The Jewish state is a racist state that does not have a right to exist.” This is the language of Nazism.

Massad’s comments on the October 7th terror attacks should not have come as a shock to the Columbia administration as he has repeatedly indicated his support for Palestinian terrorism against Israel, stating in a 2002 lecture that Israel is “a Jewish supremacist and racist state” and adding that “[e]very racist state should be destroyed.”

“It is only by making the cost of Jewish supremacy too high that Israeli Jews will give it up,” Massad said in another address, a clear endorsement of terrorism. The professor has also declared that the “resistance of Palestinians”—“resistance” is a well-known euphemism for terrorism among the pro-Hamas set— must extend to Israel’s “civil institutions” and he has referred to Palestinian terrorists as “anti-colonial resisters.”

In a 2006 article titled “Pinochet in Palestine,” Massad described the terrorist organization Hamas as the only group prepared to “defend the rights of the Palestinians to resist the Israeli occupation.”

Massad also has a record of promoting and acting on his anti-Semitism in the classroom. He was one of several Columbia professors profiled in the 2004 film Columbia Unbecoming, which was produced by the David Project. The film exposed Massad’s anti-Semitic commentary in the classroom and his intimidation of pro-Israel students. According to witnesses interviewed in the film, Massad asked a Jewish student who had formerly served in the Israeli Defense Forces, “How many Palestinians have you killed?” and he ordered a female student to leave his class because she asserted the indisputable fact that – unlike Palestinian terrorists – Israel warns Palestinian civilians before launching attacks. In 2011, another Jewish student reported that she was discouraged by a Barnard professor from enrolling in Massad’s class because it might be “uncomfortable” for her—an indication that the professor’s Jew-hatred extends to the students in his classroom.

Massad’s extensive catalogue of written work provides ample evidence of his Jew hatred and his sympathy for Islamic terrorism directed against the Jewish state. In a May 2013 editorial for Al Jazeera titled “The Last of the Semites,” Massad falsely declared that Jewish claims to Israel as their homeland originated only during the Protestant Reformation and argued that Zionism itself was anti-Semitic and a policy promoted by the Nazis.

In the wake of Hamas’s barbaric attack on innocent Israeli civilians, Massad published an article calling the events of October 7th—events that included the rape and mutilation of women and the gruesome slaughter of children in front of their parents—“awesome” and “the stunning victory of the Palestinian resistance” against “cruel colonizers.”

”The sight of Palestinian resistance fighters storming Israeli checkpoints separating Gaza from Israel was astounding,” Massad wrote. In a section subtitled “Jubilation and Awe,” he added, “No less awesome were the scenes witnessed by millions of jubilant Arabs who spent the day watching the news, of Palestinian fighters from Gaza breaking through Israel’s prison fence or gliding over it by air.”

Former Columbia President Minouche Shafik—who stepped down from her post in August after widespread criticism of her failure to confront pro-Hamas riots and encampments on campus—testified before Congress in April that Massad was “under investigation” and that she was personally “appalled” by his comments.

Yet when asked why Massad was still permitted to teach students after praising Hamas’s massacre, Shafik responded, “In his case, he has not repeated anything like that ever since,” leading Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) to respond, “Does he need to repeat stating that the massacre of Israeli citizens was awesome?”

#8: Noura Erakat, Rutgers University

As an associate professor of Africana Studies at Rutgers University in New Jersey, Dr. Noura Erakat has repeatedly used her academic position and influence to promote the terrorist organization Hamas and to justify their barbaric massacre, mutilation, and rape of innocent Israeli Jews.

In a series of tweets issued on October 7th, a day of infamy in which Hamas terrorists slaughtered over 1200 Israeli men, women and children, and brutalized and raped many others, taking hundreds of hostages, Dr. Erakat raised her voice to defend Hamas’s horrors.

“#Gaza has been under a naval blockade & land siege for 17 years & its 2 mil Palestinians have been subject to 4 large scale offensives,” Erakat tweeted. “Any shock in response to this multi-scalar attack [by Hamas] reflects an expectation that those Palestinians die quietly and a complicity in their strangulation.”

On the same day of horrors, Erakat also tweeted: “Any condemnation of [Hamas] violence is vapid if it does not begin & end with a condemnation of Israeli apartheid, settler colonialism, and occupation." #Palestine #Gaza #Decolonize.”

In another tweet, she claimed: “Israel does not have a Hamas problem or a Gaza problem, it has a Palestine problem. Even if Hamas were to disappear, Israel would continue its removal and dispossession of Palestinians…”

In yet another post on October 7th, Erakat attempted to justify Hamas’s bloodletting as a “military tactic,” tweeting, “Civilians r taken hostage, soldiers r captured. This is a military tactic. ““Hamas has demanded the release of all Palestinian political prisoners…”

As horrifying as Erakat’s October 7th tweets on behalf of Hamas are, they are hardly without precedent. The professor has a long record of condoning and even celebrating terrorism against the world’s only Jewish state.

In an article written in May 2023, Erakat honored Khader Adnan, a deceased senior member of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, another anti-Israel terror organization.

In May 15, 2023, Erakat wrote an article honoring the deceased Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist, Khader Adnan, who was on record encouraging suicide bombings, stating  “Who among you will carry the next explosive belt? Who among you will fire the next bullets? Who among you will have his body parts blown all over?”

This is the man whom Erakat lauded in her article and in a tweet, writing, “#MustRead thread on #KhaderAdnan. A life of compassion and resistance. A reminder that the best of Palestinian leaders have been killed, imprisoned, exiled.”

Erakat has also gone to bat for another senior member of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Khaleda Jarrar, who has been repeatedly arrested and jailed by Israel for such crimes as calling for the kidnapping of Israeli soldiers and involvement in a fatal 2018 bombing attack. Of the woman, Erakat tweeted: “Khaleda Jarrar is a long time #Palestinian leader & an elected member of the Palestinian Legislative Council. #Apartheid Israel keeps imprisoning her w/o charge or trial & recently *convicted* her of membership in a political party [PFLP]…”

When Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad launched yet another major round of attacks against Israel in May 2021, firing over 4,300 rockets at major population centers, Erakat was quick to defend those actions and take the side of the terrorists. “When folks tell you the problem is Hamas rockets, remind them Zionist settler colonial expansionism is the cause, not the effect…” she tweeted.

Erakat has repeatedly demonized Israel and propagated anti-Semitic blood libel tropes about the Jewish people. Writing just two weeks after the slaughter of over 1200 Israelis on October 7, 2023, Erakat tweeted, “Israel has dropped the equivalent of a nuclear bomb on 2.2 besieged Palestinians & achieved ZERO of its military objectives. / This is not a war on Hamas but a war on Palestinians & particularly children…#Gaza_Genicide.”

In a separate tweet from July 4, 2023, Erakat wrote, “Israel promises the very fascist future that threatens the whole world…no one is safe." #ApartheidIsrael #Fascism #SettlerColonial #DoNotNormalizeApartheid.”

And on May 13, 2022, the professor tweeted, “Our bodies are testimony to the reality of this racist, supremacist Zionist ideology. Its drive for a satellite state for settlement necessitates segregation, removal, dispossession, elimination through & by grotesque violence. Palestinians are among its most brutalized victims.”

Despite this laser-like focus on the alleged “grotesque violence” of Israeli Jews, Erakat has celebrated Palestinian and Hamas violence against Jewish citizens of Israel, repeatedly praising known terrorists and lauding Hamas for its October 7th attack. She deserves to be known as one of the leading Hamas-loyalist faculty members in the nation.

An Israeli hostage being held captive by Hamas was rescued by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) from a tunnel beneath southern Gaza on Tuesday, according to the IDF.

Qaid Farhan Alkadi, 52, who was taken by the terrorist organization on Oct. 7th, was found in a tunnel in Mahrat during a “complex rescue operation,” according to the Israeli military.

Alkadi, a father of 11 from the Bedouin Arab Community, was rescued by IDF soldiers from the 13th Fleet Unit, 401st Brigade, as well as Yalam and Shin Bet fighters, the military said.

The full details of Alkadi’s rescue were not immediately clear, with the IDF and Israel Security Agency, claiming in a statement on Tuesday that further details could not be released “due to considerations of the safety of our hostages, the security of our forces, and national security.”

The organization stated that Alkadi was in stable medical condition and was being transferred for medical checks at a hospital.

Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs shared a video on X showing family members running to see Alkadi at a hospital.

Alkadi was taken by Hamas from Mivtahim, which is near where he worked as a guard at a packing factory in Kibbutz Magen, according to the Times of Israel.

Alkadi’s rescue “was part of the IDF’s daring and courageous activities conducted deep inside the Gaza Strip,” Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said.

Meanwhile, Hamas is suspected of holding 104 of the original 251 hostages who were taken from Israel during the October 7th terrorist attack, which includes the bodies of 34 victims confirmed dead by the IDF.

“We are doing everything to save all the abductees. "IDF and Shin Bet forces demonstrate courage, determination and initiative in complex operations in the field,” IDF chief of staff Herzi Halevi said Tuesday.

Additionally, the Hostage Families Forum issued a statement celebrating Alkadi’s rescue but reminded everyone of the rest of the remaining hostages being held by Hamas.

“He endured 326 days in captivity,” the group said.

“Qaid’s return home is nothing short of miraculous. But we must remember: military operations alone cannot free the remaining … hostages, who have suffered 326 days of abuse and terror. A negotiated deal is the only way forward.”

According to the Jerusalem Post, Tuesday’s rescue was the fourth successful rescue operation to extract Israeli hostages from the Gaza Strip.

Furthermore, Alkadi was the first hostage to be rescued from one of Gaza’s tunnel networks, with all the other live hostages rescued from above ground.

For now, cease-fire talks between Israel and Hamas in Cairo have ended again without a resolution over the weekend.

The talks also included CIA Director William Burns and David Barnea, the head of Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency.

Tim Walz is Just Like You and Me If you and I have friends who love Hamas.

SEE: https://www.frontpagemag.com/tim-walz-is-just-like-you-and-me/; republished below in full, unedited, for informational, educational, & research purposes:

[Order a copy of Robert Spencer’s forthcoming book, "Muhammad: A Critical Biography," by clicking here.]

The marketing campaign is in high gear. Tim Walz should be our vice president, our self-appointed moral superiors inform us because he is a guy just like you and me and the fellow grilling hamburgers next door. Not Chuck Schumer's photo-op raw meat, either. Walz, the “news” media insists, is the real deal, an Ordinary Joe, even more ordinary than Old Joe Biden. A high school teacher! A football coach! A Marxist authoritarian! Oh, scratch that last one; they won’t be admitting that one until later. Nor is the establishment media talking about his friendships with Muslims who love Hamas.

The Washington Examiner reported Friday that Walz, “on at least five occasions as governor of Minnesota, hosted a Muslim cleric who celebrated Hamas‘s Oct. 7 attack last year on Israel and promoted a film popular among Neo-Nazis that glorifies Adolf Hitler.” The imam whom the Examiner had in mind was Asad Zaman of the Muslim American Society of Minnesota, who “said on Oct. 7 of last year that he ‘stands in solidarity with Palestinians against Israeli attacks.’” He has also “used his Facebook page over the years to share official Hamas press releases, blog posts on antisemitic websites slamming Jews, and, in one 2015 instance, a link to a piece on a website for a pro-Hitler film called ‘The Greatest Story Never Told.’”

Listen closely now and you can hear leftists all over our unhappy land shouting, “So what?” This is the sort of thing that Democrat politicians do all the time, and Walz himself has done it before. The Washington Free Beacon reported Wednesday that Walz “spoke at an event for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in 2019, where he rubbed shoulders with an anti-Semitic scholar behind much of the Hamas propaganda on college campuses in the wake of Oct. 7, according to photos from the event.” CAIR top dog Nihad Awad was the one who shot himself in the foot by saying that Hamas’ Oct. 7 jihad massacre made him “happy.” That was too much even for the Biden regime, which summarily dropped CAIR from a White House antisemitism task force.

CAIR had no business being part of that task force in the first place. Back in Nov. 2021, Zahra Billoo, executive director of CAIR’s San Francisco Bay Area chapter, delivered a venomously antisemitic speech in which she told her Muslim audience to “oppose the vehement fascist, but oppose the polite Zionist too.”

She warned against even far-left Jewish groups such as the ADL: “We need to pay attention to the Anti-Defamation League. We need to pay attention to the Jewish Federation. We need to pay attention to the Zionist synagogues. We need to pay attention to the Hillel chapters on our campuses because just because they are your friends today, doesn’t mean that they have your back when it comes to human rights.”

That’s not even close to all. CAIR officials have refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror. CAIR’s cofounder and longtime Board chairman (Omar Ahmad), as well as its chief spokesman (Ibrahim Hooper), have made Islamic supremacist statements about how Islamic law should be imposed in the U.S. (Ahmad denies this, but the original reporter stands by her story.)

Nevertheless, Walz happily appeared at CAIR-Minnesota’s 2019 “Challenging Islamophobia” conference. He has never demonstrated any awareness of the fact that “Islamophobia” is a smear propaganda term designed to intimidate people into thinking it is wrong and “bigoted” to oppose jihad terror and Sharia oppression.

Nor has any leftist “journalist” demanded that Walz disavow “Islamophobia” professor Hatem Bazian, who was also at that conference. Discover the Networks notes that Bazian founded American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), “a major supporter of the pro-Hamas campus group, Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP). Several of AMP’s recent board members and key officials were previously members of, and worked closely with, now-defunct Islamic extremist groups that funded terrorist activities.”

These included direct financiers of Hamas, including the Islamic Association for Palestine “which, until its dissolution in 2004, served as the chief U.S. propaganda arm of Hamas”; the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, “which from 1995-2001 contributed approximately $12.4 million in money, goods, and services to Hamas”; and KindHearts for Charitable Humanitarian Development, “whose assets were frozen in 2006 by the U.S. Treasury Department because of its fundraising activities on behalf of Hamas.”

Walz’s stolen valor scandal isn’t going away anytime soon, but no one seems concerned that Walz has repeatedly associated with Muslim leaders with known ties to Hamas and other jihad groups. There is a good reason for this: it is nearly twenty-three years since 9/11, and that means that for almost twenty-three years, Americans have been relentlessly and comprehensively indoctrinated with the dogma that Islam is a religion of peace that was hijacked on that fateful day by a tiny minority of extremists, but hey, every religion has them, and any concern about Islamic jihad violence or Sharia oppression women is racist, bigoted, and “Islamophobic.”

In that atmosphere, Walz’s hobnobbing with associates and supporters of jihadis is unlikely to raise many eyebrows, but as Islamic jihadis continue to grow more assertive and emboldened in the West, America’s dad may come to wish he had chosen his friends more carefully.

Walzing With Hamas “America’s dad” and would-be vice president has no problem associating with terror-linked groups.

Democrat vice presidential candidate Tim Walz is being skilfully marketed as an all-American average guy. That’s one thing he isn’t, and in reality, he is just about the diametric opposite of that. Most Americans are not even aware, and never will be, of how sinister he really is.

To hear the Democrat party’s propaganda machine, that is, the establishment media, tell it, Walz is your neighbor across the fence who has surprisingly sensible solutions to the nation’s problems, a homespun small-town high school teacher, a football coach, someone you can trust with your kids and a good-hearted man to whom you can trust our nation’s future. 

This is, of course, a massive load of baloney, and it’s already falling apart, even as the establishment media continues to inundate the nation with nonsense about how everyone suddenly loves Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Walz’s stolen valor scandal isn’t going away anytime soon, and another one looms in its wake: Walz has repeatedly associated with Muslim leaders with known ties to Hamas and other jihad groups.

It is important to recall that CAIR top dog Nihad Awad cheered Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre, leading even the Biden White House to drop his organization from an antisemitism task force, on which it had no business being in the first place.

Even worse, CAIR officials have refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department.

Now imagine if JD Vance appeared at an event with someone who spoke honestly about the motivating ideology behind jihad terrorism, instead of repeating the familiar lies about Islam being peaceful, benign and cuddly. He would likely already have been made to step down at this point. But Walz hanging around with pro-Hamas Muslims? Why, it would be “Islamophobic” to object!

 

Kamala’s Counsel Defended Hamas Supporters Harassing Jewish Students~ Meet one of Kamala’s top lawyers: an Afghan immigrant who protected terrorists.

[Order Daniel Greenfield’s new book, Domestic Enemies: HERE.]

In 9/11, Nasrina Bargzie, an Afghan Muslim immigrant, was interviewed by law enforcement over troubling comments about the War on Terror reported by her friends.

Today she’s the Deputy Counsel to Vice President Kamala Harris.

After coming to America from a wealthy family in Kandahar, later a stronghold of the Taliban and Al Qaeda, Nasrina Bargzie was raised in Concord, CA, one of the state’s hubs for Afghan migrants, and quickly got involved in anti-American and pro-terrorist activism.

In 2001, while attending college, she was interrogated by the FBI about comments she had made to her friends. It’s unknown what she said, but it was enough to scare her friends, in one of the most liberal parts of the country, to apparently report her to law enforcement.

The next year, she wrongly received a law school scholarship intended for women who had suffered persecution under the Taliban even though she had left long before they came to power.

“I would like to do something that would affect Afghanistan,” Nasrina told a local paper.

Berkeley Law School was a hub of anti-American and anti-Israel activities and by the time she graduated, Nasrina was prepared to embark on her career of attacking both countries.

She became a legal fellow at the ACLU and joined its lawfare machine to dismantle our national security defenses against Islamic terrorism. In 2008, she posted about “wearing orange”at the Today Show in solidarity with the Al Qaeda, Taliban and other terrorists being held at Gitmo.

Nasrina also complained that “murder charges” had yet to be filed against the heroic Marines who bravely fought for their lives against terrorists in the streets of Haditha during the Iraq War.

In 2011 she joined the Asian Law Caucus and went to war against Jewish students facing anti-Semitic harassment. In 2010, Jessica Felber, a Jewish student, was assaulted by a leader of the Students for Justice in Palestine campus hate group and filed suit against UC Berkeley for tolerating an atmosphere of hate by activists linked to terrorist organizations. .

Nasrina Bargzie accused Jewish students and organizations of “organized legal bullying” for suing universities. She ridiculed the idea that calling for the destruction of Israel was “threatening” and co-signed a petition claiming that the lawsuit by Jewish students was “threatening” the speech of Berkeley Students for Justice in Palestine and the Berkeley Muslim Students Association.

Jewish students, she argued, were the “aggressors” and rejected the idea that there was anything “anti-semitic” about the campus hate groups and their ties to Islamic terrorism.

Nasrina Bargzie was so desperate that she presented a request to the UN Human Rights Commission, a group often stocked with Islamic terrorist states, to intervene and stop the Department of Education from investigating “allegations of anti-Semitism on several campuses”.

The appeal to the UN was made on behalf of her Asian Law Caucus, CAIR, a group with a long history of supporting Hamas and other Islamic terrorist groups, the National Lawyers Guild, a group with Communist origin which has been complicit in antisemitic violence, and American Muslims for Palestine which has been sued over accusations of its ties to Hamas.

Hatem Bazian, the co-founder of Students for Justice in Palestine and the godfather of campus antisemitism, would later thank Nasrina and others, for “being constantly engaged in everything related to Palestine”. Alongside her was Zahra Billoo, the local head of CAIR, with whom Nasrina Bargzie had co-signed the letter, who would defend Hezbollah and Hamas.

Nasrina would work together with Biloo and CAIR, whose leader praised the Oct 7 attacks, on their next major project. While Nasrina had claimed that the antisemitic harassment of Jews on campuses was just “freedom of expression”, when ads against Islamic terrorism were taken out on San Francisco buses, Nasrina and CAIR rallied to fight against freedom of expression.

After the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) took out ads addressing the roots of Islamic terror, Nasrina Bargzie claimed that “the ads are offensive and terrible” and admitted that “people just started calling and texting me… ‘What are we gonna do about this?'”

CAIR and Bargzie convinced local Democrats, including DA George Gascon, to condemn the ads, which called for support for Israel and spoke out against Islamic terrorism.

Fresh from that victory, Bargzie and CAIR worked to protect Muslims accused of terrorism by restricting the police department’s relationship with the FBI. It was then that Bargzie revealed that she had been interrogated by the FBI and “was asked by the agent about her family history and background.” Information about those questions and history has not been forthcoming.

Members of the Bargzie family have told different stories about why they came to America, after traveling from Afghanistan to Pakistan. According to a Glamour magazine profile of Kamala’s staffers, “my father and uncle were prisoners of war who disappeared.”, and she told the San Diego Union Tribune that he was “executed.” However according to her younger sister Humah, also an activist and a lawyer,  “He said ‘I’ll see you tomorrow’ when he left the house, but he never came back.” His disappearance, she told another magazine, “for the most part, remains a mystery.” Did Nasrina lie about what happened to her father? And did her family?

What happened to Abdul-Khaliq Bargzie, a wealthy landowner from Kandahar, remains a mystery, but he may have been aligned with the Jihadist Islamist Mujahideen. Whatever the truth may be, Nasrina blamed the Communists rather than Islamists for his disappearance, and this may have strongly affected her activism for Islamist terrorists and terrorist supporters.

Despite having grown up in America, Nasrina Bargzie maintained close ties with her homeland, serving as president of the Afghan-American Bar Association, along with other Afghan groups, donating money back to her country and writing of her love for the 'Pashto' language.

By 2019,  she was described as representing “seventeen different Afghan human rights organizations.” Despite that, or perhaps because of it, she joined the Biden-Harris team, vetting incoming hires. And then she entered an administration already full of staffers with foreign allegiances, ties to foreign governments and even terrorist sympathizers.

In 2021, Nasrina became Kamala’s Deputy Counsel and then in 2022, as many members of the vice presidential team fled, she rose to the position of Deputy Counsel. She’s been named one of the “fabulous four”: the four employees most loyal to Kamala who stayed on. As a corollary, she’s one of the four whom Kamala favors and is most likely to promote.

Nasrina came out of some of the same legal and political circles as Kamala Harris. She worked for the ACLU at the same time Kamala’s sister Maya held a prominent role at the local ACLU. Maya also worked closely with CAIR and played a key role in Kamala’s presidential campaign.

No one in the FBI seems to have asked about Nasrina Bargzie’s original comments or the family history that troubled the government at the time. Nor has there been any mention of her work with pro-terror groups such as CAIR or her appearance on a panel with MPAC’s Salam Al Marayati, who has defended Islamic terrorists. But the implications of a woman who has spent much of her career undermining our national security, attacking Jews and defending terrorist sympathizers is troubling for Americans, for Jews, Christians and for all people of goodwill.

Nasrina Bargzie resents America despite everything it has done for her. After benefiting from the Refugee Resettlement program, she blamed America for having created the refugees. The Kamala Harris administration would be equipped to continue degrading our counterterrorism efforts, making life easier for Islamic terrorists and harder for Americans.

Occupying a prominent position in the Kamala administration, one of her top lawyers would be able to continue her campaign against American Jews and for the Hamas supporters attacking them.

The Dangers of a President Kamala The coming election: Our Republic’s last chance?

[Order David Horowitz’s new book, America Betrayed, HERE.]

As of now, Vice President Kamala Harris looks to be Donald Trump’s opponent in November. She’s secured the pledged support of enough delegates to the DNC for the nomination, and Biden’s $100 million war chest for now will go to her campaign, on top of the donations starting to pour in, and the Democrat Committee’s $91 million. Murkier are her chances against Donald Trump, who leads her in head-to-head polls, and whose campaign has been turbocharged by a spectacular Republican convention and a unified party.

But as Hillary Clinton learned in 2016, and Joe Biden just a few weeks ago, events and contingencies we often cannot predict can change everything in a day. That’s why in politics, as in war, one should heed Sun Tzu’s advice to “know your enemy as you know yourself.”

Harris’s weaknesses are well known from her stints as the District Attorney for San Francisco, Attorney General and Senator for California, and Vice President. All three offices are revealing of her leftist bent, “woke” prejudices, and big-government proclivities, but the latter is the most important job for revealing what kind of president she’ll be.

She is certain to follow Biden’s tax-spend-redistribute economic policies. As the Wall Street Journal writes, “So mark her down as endorsing the spending blowouts that caused inflation, the Green New Deal, entitlement expansions and student loan forgiveness." Until she says otherwise, we should also assume she’s in favor of Mr. Biden’s $5 trillion tax increase in 2025.And don’t expect a President Harris to increase much-needed defense spending to restore our military’s dangerous deficits in both personnel and materials.

In other words, her mind, like that of most Democrats, is filled with received progressive wisdom and shibboleths. And based on her public pronouncements––at least those that are coherent––she lacks the moral intelligence and critical thinking skills necessary for recognizing when policies are chosen for their political advantage rather than the nation’s long-term flourishing and security.

Considering her short stint as the border czar.” Apart from one trip to El Paso, she never visited the region to see first-hand the damage Biden’s policies are inflicting on our country.

Instead, she simply mouthed cliches like “root causes” such as the left’s all-purpose “climate change” as the reason for the influx of illegal aliens. Such ignorance gives force to the comment by Brandon Judd, past president of the National Border Patrol Council, that Harris has shown a “complete disregard to border security by either political ambition or incompetence.” Under Harris’ and Biden’s “leadership,” illegal entries during their term exploded to more than 10 million unvetted illegal aliens.

Border policy also reveals how far left Harris is: as the Make America Great Again PAC pointed out, in 2019 she was the most leftist Senator, ahead of comrade Bernie Sanders. “That year in the Senate, Kamala Harris co-sponsored legislation to protect illegal immigrants from deportation and backed Bernie Sanders Medicare for All legislation. Kamala even backed banning private health insurance and giving taxpayer-funded coverage to illegal immigrants.” Farther left than Joe Biden, Harris is likely to pursue other policies equally harmful to our economic health and national security.

When it comes to foreign policy, Harris followed Biden’s program. But according to the Journal, While she has backed the Administration’s military assistance to Ukraine, she has equivocated about support for Israel. In March, she chastised Israel for not doing enough to ease a humanitarian catastrophe one of the most egregious of Big Lies that Israeli-haters have been peddling for decades.

Her juvenile ignorance of the need to strengthen our power of deterrence is a dangerous sign. As the Journal continued,She lambasted the Trump Administration for killing Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Gen. Qassem Soleimani, claiming it could lead to bigger war in the Mideast. The killing chastened Iran’s rulers instead, at least until the Biden administration began to ease sanctions and tried to repeal the 2015 nuclear deal.

But such leftist orthodoxy still might not be good enough for the “woke” pro-Hamas, anti-Israel lobby in Congress, especially if, as is likely, she has to shift towards the center, despite the leftistpromises in her first campaign rally. The Squad ingenue Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, when asked if she supported Harris, replied, “If you think that there is consensus among the people who want Joe Biden to leave that they will support Vice President Harris, you would be mistaken,” she said, according to The Hill. “A lot of people don’t love that we have the same exact match-up all over again, which is to say that the debate didn’t change much at all. It didn’t really change a lot in terms of people’s perceptions, in terms of where the electorate is at.”

The implication is that the leftist Dems would be as put out with Harris as they have been with Biden for any support of Israel, and would pressure President Harris to abandon our most important ally in the region. Fearing that possibility may be why Harris snubbed Prime Minister Netanyahu’s address to Congress last week, the only visiting foreign head of state she’s ignored her whole term. Will she indulge in such immature grandstanding when she’s president?

Then there are questions regarding Harris’s toxic leadership style. Often a boss’s treatment of underlings is a telling of his or her character. As Eli Lake reports on The Free Press, “People who know her best also seem to consider her a terrible boss. In June 2021, White House staffers told Politico that people in the vice president’s office are thrown under the bus from the very top, there are short fuses and it’s an abusive environment.’ By early 2022, four of her most senior advisers had bolted for the exits, prompting The Washington Post to report that many of her critics and supporters worry that her inability to keep and retain staff will hobble her future ambitions.

Such intemperance in the Cabinet Room or meetings with legislators, especially coming from an insecure president with few achievements and an “any means necessary” modus operandi, could magnify her weaknesses and discourage useful advice.

Finally, Harris’s third-rate intellect, bankrupt left-wing ideology, and lack of gravitas–– obvious in her grating cackling, see-Spot-run syntax, banal obiter dicta, and “wordsalad” buffets––may compromise her effectiveness at governing, especially when meeting with global leaders.

But first she has to get elected, and the same weaknesses make her vulnerable, especially from the albatross of Joe Biden’s destructive record of failure that contrasts so starkly with Donald Trump’s successes with the issues that concern voters such as border security, inflation, and our tattered prestige abroad. In addition, the Journal observes, “she’s stuck with the White House’s embrace of Hillary’s malpractice of condemning Trump voters as fascists and racists.”

And don’t forget, despite the regime media’s current puffery PR hyperbole, many Democrats don’t like her, especially those who are disturbed by Biden’s feckless border policies that treat law-breakers better than their own citizens. The Dem conspirators who kicked Joe Biden out of the 2024 race didn’t remove him from office, perhaps because that would have automatically made Harris the president. Wouldn't the disenfranchisement of 15 million Democrat primary voters create a toxic “selected, not elected” charge for the candidate and that party that boasts they’re “protecting our democracy”?

But none of that means she can’t win, especially now that the media are lavishing her with Obama levels of adoration and praise, and Democrat plutocrats spooked by Biden are opening their wallets. That’s why it is even more important that Harris be kept out of the White House, and why Republicans need to hammer her and Biden’s failures, and make her defend them, as well as her own complicity in lying to the American people about Biden’s cognitive and physical decline.

"They can start, for example, with her mendacious comment about Special Council Robert Hur’s report that confirmed Biden’s decline: “The way that the president’s demeanor in that report was characterized could not be more wrong on the facts and clearly politically motivated,” Harris said of Hur’s report. As Eli Lake observes, “Harris will have to find a way to walk back her comments at the same time that Trump will be sure to torment her for her past hypocrisies.

Not just Donald Trump, but the whole party should “torment” Harris with her lies, failed policies, and left-wing ideology. This election may be the last chance to undo Barack Obama's and Joe Biden’s malign “transformation” of the United States and its Constitutional order of unalienable rights, and balanced and limited government power.

Kamala’s Ties to a Far-Left, Hamas-Linked Islamic Group-SURPRISE!

SEE: https://www.frontpagemag.com/kamalas-ties-to-a-far-left-hamas-linked-islamic-group/? republished below in full, unedited, for informational, educational, & research purposes:

[Order a copy of Robert Spencer’s forthcoming book, "Muhammad: A Critical Biographyby clicking here.]

The media isn’t going to tell you this. The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) describes itself as “America’s largest Muslim civil liberties organization.” In that guise, and as it has championed numerous far-left causes, it has become a respected member of the leftist establishment, with numerous ignorant and self-serving politicians lavishing praise on this unsavory gang in hopes of gaining Muslim votes. Among them has been, not surprisingly, Kamala Harris.

This has been known for years, but no one has cared. Back in Oct. 2020, the Washington Free Beacon reported that “as California’s attorney general and then as U.S. senator, Harris forged a relationship with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), one of the nation’s top anti-Israel groups and advocates for boycotts of the Jewish state.” After the Hamas massacres of Oct. 7, 2023, this matters more than ever.

CAIR, the Free Beacon added, “advised Harris on community issues during her time in California politics, and she later offered the group her ‘gratitude and admiration’ in a 2018 personal letter to the group.” Specifically, “Hussam Ayloush, executive director of CAIR’s Los Angeles office, praised Harris in 2015 for including the group in an interfaith meeting with law enforcement officials. Harris, he said, ‘exemplified leadership’ by vowing to tackle Islamophobia at a time when the state’s Jewish institutions were facing threats.”

That was bad enough, since “Islamophobia” is a propaganda weapon designed to intimidate people that it is wrong — somehow “bigoted” — to oppose jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women. Even worse, long before he praised Kamala Harris, Hussam Ayloush had repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. In 2017, with Donald Trump in the White House, Ayloush called for the overthrow of the U.S. government. Yet the following year, Harris wrote to CAIR: “Please accept my gratitude and admiration for your tireless work to promote peace, justice, and mutual understanding.”

That was not all. “As California’s top cop,” the Free Beacon noted, “Harris partnered with local CAIR officials and relied on them to advise her on community matters. In 2015, for instance, Harris hosted CAIR for an interfaith community event following a deadly terrorist attack in San Bernardino. In 2016, as Harris ran for the Senate, CAIR’s political action committee donated $1,750 to boost her campaign.” That may not be much in the larger scheme of things, but imagine the outcry if Donald Trump had taken a small fraction of that amount from a group linked to the Ku Klux Klan.

Harris’ ties to CAIR take on a new urgency now that she is a presidential candidate, and now that this self-proclaimed “civil rights organization” is more forthright than it used to be about where it really stands: CAIR’s cofounder and longtime executive director Nihad Awad infamously said that he was “happy” about Hamas’ Oct. 7 jihad massacre of 1,200 Israelis. In April 2024, Awad eulogized a Muslim Brotherhood cleric, Sheikh Abdul-Majid al-Zindani, who had ties to al-Qaeda as well as Hamas: “The Islamic nation has lost one of its biggest emblems and men with the passing of Sheikh Alam and worker Abdul Majeed Al-Zindani after he dedicated his life to the service of the Quran and the manifestation of its miracles that never cease. He remained tall and firm in the face of challenges, tribulations, pressure, and rankings until he met the Almighty Allah. Our condolences to his family, Yemen, and our nation. We ask Allah, the Merciful, the Merciful and the Forgiving, to have mercy on him, forgive him and reward him with the best of rewards.” Al-Zindani was on the UN Security Council’s list of specially designated terrorists.

If Trump had similar ties to any of the groups that the leftist establishment claims are made up of “right-wing extremists,” including a group that opposes CAIR and jihad terror and got added to the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “hate group” list for doing so, the media outcry would be shrill and intense. Trump would be hounded everywhere until he disavowed the group and returned its donations.

No one, however, is asking Harris about CAIR. That’s because Harris, CAIR, and the media are all part of the same leftist establishment. Surely you don’t expect them to police themselves, do you? Politicians can associate freely with groups that are on the left’s approved list, and be secure in the knowledge that there will be no accountability. Responsibility for the American people? Come on, man! This ain’t 1776 anymore!

This looks more like Berlin in 1938 than anything we have seen in America before. What followed in Berlin? Meanwhile, the ADL sounds the alarm against “far right” antisemitism and “Islamophobia.” The people attacking Jews on the streets in broad daylight in Los Angeles were leftists and Muslims. For the ADL, leftist and Muslim antisemitism is virtually nonexistent. It seems as if the whole world has determined to ignore the sources of the real threat.

Lawsuit by October 7 Victims Against Two Pro-Palestinian Groups for Aiding and Abetting Hamas

SEE: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2024/06/lawsuit-by-october-7-victims-against-two-pro-palestinian-groups-for-aiding-and-abetting-hamas; republished below in full, unedited, for informational, educational, & research purposes:

There is no point in invoking morality, decency, or any such stuff, in appealing to the pro-Palestinian groups that have been spewing their antisemitic venom on campuses from sea to shining sea to cease and desist. But a just-announced lawsuit against two of those groups could lead to a possible hit to their pocketbook, and that’s another matter. This will get their attention. That will fill them with anxiety. And so will another possible outcome of that lawsuit: both the groups, and those of their officers who are non-citizens, could also face expulsion from the country.

Now a group of nine victims of Hamas’ attacks on October 7 are suing two of the most important anti-Israel groups on American campuses, the umbrella groups National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJUP) and American Muslims For Palestine (AMP), for aiding Hamas as “collaborators and propagandists.” More on their lawsuit, which will bring great grief to both NSJUP and AMP, including possibly bankrupting both groups and their officers, as well as leading to the expulsion of both groups from the United States, can be found here: “Israeli Terror Victims Sue Anti-Semitic Campus Groups for Aiding Hamas,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, May 2, 2024:

Israeli victims of Hamas’s Oct. 7th terror spree are suing two anti-Israel campus groups, alleging they are partially liable for the attack due to their role “as collaborators and propagandists for Hamas.”

The lawsuit, filed in U.S. district court Wednesday, seeks damages for nine American and Israeli victims of Hamas’s unprecedented terror assault. It targets two campus umbrella groups—American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) and National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP)—that are responsible for fomenting a tidal wave of antisemitic protests on college campuses across the country.

The suit marks the first time terror victims are taking aim at campus anti-Israel groups for their alleged role in bolstering Hamas propaganda on campus and driving a series of increasingly violent protests that have endangered Jewish college students across the country.

“Survivors of Hamas’s October 7 terrorist attack, family members of those murdered by Hamas, civilians still under fire from Hamas’s ongoing terrorism, and persons displaced by Hamas’s ongoing terrorism have been, and continue to be, injured because AMP and NSJP knowingly provide continuous, systematic, and substantial assistance to Hamas and its affiliates’ acts of international terrorism,” the lawsuit states.

In a joint statement, the terror victims and their families said the AMP and NSJP should be held legally liable for Hamas’s terror campaign and face expulsion from the United States….

Arsen Ostrovsky, an attorney and CEO of the International Legal Forum, one of several groups supporting the lawsuit, said that NSJP “has effectively become the U.S. campus arm of Hamas.” The suit is jointly being handled by Greenberg Traurig, the National Jewish Advocacy Center, Schoen Law Firm, and Holtzman Vogel.

These groups are “directly aiding and abetting the terror group on American colleges, and facilitating the conditions necessary for Hamas to continue carrying out acts of terror and the holding of hostages, including American nationals,” Ostrovsky said. “Enough is enough, we must bring to justice not only the perpetrators of the most heinous massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, but hold accountable all those who enable, support, and collaborate with them, like NSJP and AMP.”

The legal team arrayed against the Hamas “collaborators” AMP and JSJP is formidable. It is led by lawyers from Greenberg Traurig, one of the biggest firms in the world, with 2750 lawyers. It should not be hard for those seasoned lawyers — who are going to be relentless, because for them, given their backgrounds, far more than billable hours are at stake — to prove that both groups have aided and abetted Hamas, providing It on hundreds of campuses with moral and political support, justifying and praising the October 7 atrocities, vilifying Israel, and acting as propagandists for the likes of Yahya Sinwar and Ismail Haniyeh.

A world of woe awaits AMP and NSJP in the courtroom. It will be a pleasure to observe.

NYC: Pro-Hamas vandals targets homes of Jewish Brooklyn Museum officials

Jihadists, Islamic apologists, and their leftist allies all love to traffic in intimidation. It’s one of their most prized and oft-used weapons.

“Outcry as vandalism targets homes of Jewish Brooklyn Museum officials,” Times of Israel, June 12, 2024:

NEW YORK — Apparent pro-Palestinian protesters hurled red paint at the homes of U.S. Jewish officials with the Brooklyn Museum and also splashed paint across the front of diplomatic buildings for Germany and the Palestinian Authority early Wednesday, prompting a police investigation and condemnation from city authorities.

Mayor Eric Adams, in a post on the social platform X, shared images of a brick building splashed with red paint with a banner hung in front of the door that called the museum’s director, Anne Pasternak, a “white-supremacist Zionist.”

“This is not peaceful protest or free speech. "This is a crime, and it’s overt, unacceptable antisemitism,” Adams wrote, sending sympathy to Pasternak and other museum board members whose homes were defaced. “These actions will never be tolerated in New York City for any reason.”

Museum spokesperson Taylor Maatman said four officials were targeted. Not all are Jewish, but all have Jewish family members, she said. A report was filed with police.

“Earlier today, the homes of people connected to the Brooklyn Museum were vandalized in an attempt to threaten and intimidate them,” Maatman said in a statement. “For two centuries, the Brooklyn Museum has worked to foster mutual understanding through art and culture, and we have always supported peaceful protest and open, respectful dialogue. Violence, vandalism, and intimidation have no place in that discourse.”

Red paint was also splashed across the front of a Manhattan building that houses Germany’s consulate and the United Nations mission, and another building that is the headquarters for Palestinian diplomats. Flyers critical of the Palestinian Authority and its president, Mahmoud Abbas, were scattered outside the building.

It wasn’t immediately clear who was responsible or whether the acts of vandalism were all related….
